Setup and Initial Winding

Your Ingersoll Bison No.12 watch is equipped with an automatic movement, which means it is powered by the motion of your wrist. For initial setup or if the watch has stopped due to lack of wear, follow these steps:

1. Manual Winding: Gently unscrew the crown (if it's a screw-down crown) and pull it out to position 1. Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
2. Setting the Date and Day: Pull the crown out to position 2. Rotate the crown to set the date and day. It is recommended to set the date and day to the previous day/date, then proceed to set the time.
3. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to position 3 (farthest position). Rotate the crown to advance the hands clockwise until the current date and day change to the correct ones. Continue rotating to set the correct time, ensuring you distinguish between AM and PM for the 24-hour function.
4. Secure the Crown: Once all settings are complete, push the crown back into position 0 (fully in) and screw it down firmly (if applicable) to ensure water resistance.

The watch will continue to operate as long as it is worn regularly. If not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding again.

Operating Your Watch

Your Ingersoll Bison No.12 watch features several functions for precise timekeeping and utility:

• Time Display: The main hour, minute, and second hands indicate the current time. The luminous coating on the hands and markers ensures readability in low light conditions.
• Day and Date Display: Located at the 3 o'clock position, the window displays the current day of the week and the numerical date. These functions automatically advance at midnight.
• 24-Hour Sub-dial: One of the sub-dials indicates the time in a 24-hour format, which is useful for tracking military time or distinguishing between AM and PM at a glance.
• Additional Sub-dials: The watch features additional sub-dials, which may include a small seconds hand or other indicators depending on the specific movement. Refer to the visual guide for their exact functions.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Ingersoll watch.

• Water Resistance (30m): Your watch is water resistant to 30 meters (3 ATM). 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 and screwed down (if applicable) before any contact with water.
• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the strap gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
• Temperature and Magnetic Fields: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of the automatic movement.
• Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch winder to keep the automatic movement running.
