Setup
Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Ensure you distinguish between AM and PM if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or if setting the date.
- Push the crown back into position 0 (normal position) to start the watch.
Setting the Date:
- Pull the crown out to position 1 (the first click).
- Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
- Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back into position 0.
Adjusting the Bracelet:
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This procedure typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage.
Operating the Chronograph
Your MK5435 watch features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time.
- Start: Press the upper pusher (button A) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the upper pusher (button A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands on the subdials.
- Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher (button B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
Note: Do not operate the chronograph pushers while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise its water resistance.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Your Watch:
- Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and perspiration.
- For stainless steel components, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Water Resistance:
Your Michael Kors MK5435 watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM / 165 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
Important: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may decrease over time due to wear and tear or accidental impact. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically by an authorized service center.
Battery Replacement:
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may skip intervals. Battery replacement should be performed by an authorized Michael Kors service center or a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and function.
