3. Setup
3.1 Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will stop.
- Rotate the crown to advance or reverse the hands to set the correct time. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator (though this model is a simple analog, setting past 12 will advance the date).
- Push the crown back in to the normal position. The second hand will resume movement.

3.2 Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Rotate the crown to set the desired date.
- Push the crown back in to the normal position.
Note: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If you need to set the date during this period, first set the time to outside this range, adjust the date, then reset the time.
3.3 Wearing the Watch
Adjust the leather strap to fit comfortably around your wrist. The watch should be snug enough not to slide freely but not so tight as to restrict circulation.

4. Operating the Watch
Your Casio MTP-1343L-1B2 watch is designed for straightforward operation. Once the time and date are set, the watch will continuously display the current time and date.
- Time Display: The hour, minute, and second hands move continuously to indicate the current time.
- Date Display: The date window automatically advances once every 24 hours.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, splashes, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

5.2 Battery Replacement
The watch uses one SR626SW battery, which has an approximate life of 3 years. When the second hand begins to move at two-second intervals, it indicates that the battery is low and needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
5.3 Cleaning and Care
- Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dirt and moisture.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, or moisture, as this can cause discoloration or damage. Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth if necessary, and allow to air dry completely.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect timekeeping accuracy.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops or runs erratically | Low battery; Crown pulled out; Exposure to strong magnetic field | Replace battery; Push crown fully in; Move watch away from magnetic sources |
| Date does not change at midnight | Time set incorrectly (e.g., AM/PM reversed) | Adjust time by 12 hours; Ensure date is not set between 9 PM and 1 AM |
| Condensation inside watch | Water ingress due to damaged seal or crown not fully pushed in | Immediately take to a qualified technician for inspection and repair |
