1. Initial Setup
1.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Upon opening the packaging, carefully remove your watch and inspect it for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal, case back, and bracelet.
1.2 Time and Date Setting
To set the time and date on your Invicta 6106 watch:
- Pull the crown (A) out to the first click position to set the date. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct date is displayed in the date window.
- Pull the crown (A) out to the second click position to set the time. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Pay attention to the 24-hour sub-dial to distinguish between AM and PM for accurate date change.
- Once the time and date are set, push the crown (A) back into its normal operating position to engage the movement.

1.3 Bracelet Adjustment
The stainless steel bracelet of your Invicta 6106 watch can be adjusted for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a professional watchmaker or jeweler to avoid damaging the links or pins.

2. Operating Your Watch
2.1 Main Time Display
The central hour, minute, and second hands indicate the primary time. The luminous markers and hands ensure readability in low-light conditions.
2.2 Multi-Function Sub-dials
Your Invicta 6106 features multiple sub-dials for enhanced functionality:
- 24-Hour Indicator: Located at the 12 o'clock position, this sub-dial displays the time in a 24-hour format, assisting in AM/PM differentiation for the main time.
- Dual Time Zone: The sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position is designed to display a second time zone. This can be independently set to track time in another location.
- Date Window: A dedicated window typically located at the 4 o'clock position displays the current date.

2.3 Dual Time Feature
To set the dual time zone, refer to the specific instructions for your watch's movement, typically involving a dedicated pusher or a specific crown position. Once set, the sub-dial will continuously display the second time zone.
2.4 Bezel Functionality
The Invicta 6106 features a unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel can be used to measure elapsed time. Align the zero marker on the bezel with the minute hand at the start of an event. The minute hand's position against the bezel's scale will then indicate the elapsed time.

3. Care and Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
3.2 Water Resistance
Your Invicta 6106 watch is designed with a certain level of water resistance. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance. Refer to the case back for the specific water resistance rating.
3.3 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to jump in two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
3.4 Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case can protect it from dust and scratches.
4. Troubleshooting Common Issues
4.1 Watch Not Running
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
- If the watch is quartz, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker.
4.2 Incorrect Time/Date
- Refer to Section 1.2 for instructions on how to correctly set the time and date.
4.3 Condensation Inside Crystal
- Small amounts of condensation may appear temporarily with sudden temperature changes. If condensation persists or appears as large droplets, it indicates a breach in water resistance. Seek immediate professional service to prevent internal damage.
