JACQUES LEMANS Chronograph Watch 1-1655C User Manual

1. Introduction

Welcome to the user manual for your new JACQUES LEMANS Liverpool 1-1655C Chronograph Men's Watch. This timepiece combines classic design with precise quartz movement and chronograph functionality. This manual will guide you through the proper setup, operation, and care of your watch to ensure its longevity and accurate performance.

2. Product Overview

The Jacques Lemans 1-1655C is a men's chronograph watch featuring a robust stainless steel case, a striking black dial, and a comfortable black leather strap. It is equipped with a precise quartz movement and chronograph functionality for accurate time measurement. The dial is protected by a durable sapphire crystal, ensuring clarity and scratch resistance.

2.1 Watch Components

• Crown: Used for setting the time and, if applicable, the date.
• Pushers (A & B): Operate the chronograph functions (start, stop, reset).
• Dial: Displays time, and features sub-dials for chronograph measurements.
• Hands: Hour, minute, second hands, and chronograph hands.
• Case: Stainless steel housing protecting the internal movement.
• Strap: Black leather strap for wearing the watch.
• Sapphire Crystal: Scratch-resistant glass covering the dial.

3. Setup

3.1 Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position).
2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands until the desired time is set.
3. Push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch.

3.2 Setting the Date (if applicable)

Note: This model's specifications do not explicitly list a date function. If your watch includes a date display, follow these general instructions:

1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (the middle position).
2. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
3. Once the date is set, push the crown back into the normal operating position.

3.3 Chronograph Hand Alignment

If the chronograph hands (e.g., the central second hand or sub-dial hands) do not reset to the zero position, they may need to be realigned. Consult a professional watchmaker for precise adjustment, or refer to the specific movement's instructions if provided separately.

4. Operating the Chronograph

Your Jacques Lemans 1-1655C watch is equipped with a chronograph function, allowing you to measure elapsed time independently of the main time display.

4.1 Basic Chronograph Operation

1. To START the chronograph, press pusher A (typically the top pusher). The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. To STOP the chronograph, press pusher A again. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. To RESET the chronograph, press pusher B (typically the bottom pusher) while the chronograph is stopped. All chronograph hands will return to their zero positions.

4.2 Water Resistance

This watch has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving.

• Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
• Do not operate the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water seal.
• Avoid exposing the leather strap to excessive water, as it can shorten its lifespan.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning Your Watch

• Case and Crystal: Wipe regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Leather Strap: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, and direct sunlight. Clean with a specialized leather cleaner or a very slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely.

5.2 Battery Replacement

Your watch is powered by a product-specific battery (one included). When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may jump in multi-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should always be performed by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the watch's water resistance and proper functioning are maintained.

5.3 General Care Tips

• Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature changes.
• Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of quartz movements.
• Protect your watch from impacts and shocks.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Watch Not Running

• Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to position 1.
• The battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker.

6.2 Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero

• Refer to section 3.3 for chronograph hand alignment. If the issue persists, professional adjustment may be required.

6.3 Water Inside the Watch

• Immediately take the watch to a qualified watch repair center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself, as this can cause further damage.
