Setup

Initial Inspection

Upon unboxing, inspect your watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.

Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to the second click position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hands and set the correct time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal position to start the watch movement.

Setting the Date

Your watch features a date window at the three o'clock position.

1. Pull the crown out to the first click position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is active and could be damaged.
3. Once the date is set, push the crown back into its normal position.

Strap Adjustment

The watch comes with a black leather band and a buckle clasp. Adjust the strap by selecting the appropriate hole for a comfortable and secure fit on your wrist.

Operating the Watch

This watch operates on a reliable quartz movement, providing accurate timekeeping. The luminous white hands ensure readability in low-light conditions.

While the watch features two subdials (at the six and twelve o'clock positions), specific operational instructions for these subdials are not provided for this model. They primarily contribute to the watch's aesthetic design. For basic time and date setting, refer to the "Setup" section.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
• For the leather band, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 30 meters (99 feet). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops or the hands move erratically, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to avoid damaging the movement or compromising the water resistance seal.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch repair service.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to the "Setting the Time" and "Setting the Date" sections. Ensure the crown is securely pushed back after adjustment.
• Condensation Under Crystal: This indicates a breach in water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and seek professional service immediately to prevent internal damage.
