1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Invicta Bolt Model 23915 Quartz Watch. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your timepiece. Please read these instructions carefully to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your watch.
The Invicta Bolt Model 23915 features a robust stainless steel construction, a precise quartz movement, and chronograph functionality, designed for durability and accurate timekeeping.
2. Setup
2.1 Setting the Time and Date
- Unscrew the Crown: The watch features a screw-down crown for enhanced water resistance. Gently rotate the crown counter-clockwise until it is free from the case.
- Pull the Crown to Position 2 (Date Setting): Pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Pull the Crown to Position 3 (Time Setting): Pull the crown out to the second click position. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure accurate time, synchronize with a reliable time source.
- Push and Screw Down the Crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into the normal operating position. While gently pushing, rotate the crown clockwise to screw it back into the watch case until it is securely tightened. This maintains the watch's water resistance.

2.2 Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet may require adjustment to fit your wrist comfortably. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified watchmaker or jeweler to prevent damage to the bracelet or watch.

3. Operation
3.1 Timekeeping
Your Invicta Bolt watch is powered by a precise quartz movement, providing accurate timekeeping. The main hands display hours, minutes, and seconds.
3.2 Chronograph Function
The chronograph function allows for measuring elapsed time. The watch features pushers on the side of the case, typically above and below the crown.
- Start/Stop: Press the upper pusher to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
- Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the lower pusher to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
Note: Ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before operating the pushers, especially near water, to maintain water resistance.
3.3 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 660 feet (200 meters). This rating makes it suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports, but not scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any contact with water.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged in water.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, such as moving from a hot sauna to cold water, as this can compromise seals.
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water to prevent corrosion.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with fresh water and drying with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the battery life is depleted, the watch will stop running or the second hand may jump in irregular intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the proper sealing and water resistance of the watch are maintained.
4.3 Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch box provides excellent protection.
