Setup

1. Initial Winding

As an automatic watch, your Gevril 2000 is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for an extended period, it requires an initial manual wind to build up power reserve.

1. Ensure the crown is in position 0 (fully pushed in).
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide sufficient power to start the movement.
3. The watch will then continue to wind itself through your daily wrist movements.

2. Setting Time and Day/Date

To set the time, day, and date:

1. Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to position 1. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and could be damaged.
2. Setting the Day: Pull the crown out to position 1. Turn the crown in the opposite direction from date setting to adjust the day. (Note: Some movements may require advancing the time to change the day).
3. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure accurate day/date change, advance the time past 12 AM to observe the day/date change. Set the time to the current time, ensuring AM/PM is correct.
4. Once set, push the crown back into position 0 (fully pushed in) to engage the water resistance seal and restart the watch.

Operating Your Watch

Automatic Movement

Your Gevril 2000 watch features an automatic mechanical movement. This means it is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. When worn regularly (typically 8-12 hours a day), the watch will remain wound. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it will stop and require manual winding as described in the "Initial Winding" section.

Day and Date Display

The unique dial displays the day of the week and the date. The day indicator typically advances once every 24 hours, and the date indicator also advances at midnight. Ensure these are set correctly for the current time of day (AM/PM).

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth regularly.
• For stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

Water Resistance

Your watch is water-resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. However, it is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

Leather Strap Care

The handmade blue Italian genuine leather band requires specific care:

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
• Protect the strap from water, sweat, oils, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can cause discoloration or damage.
• Clean with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly and follow its instructions.
• Leather straps are consumables and will show signs of wear over time.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: If the watch has stopped, manually wind it 30-40 times using the crown (position 0). If it still does not start, ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
• Inaccurate Timekeeping: Automatic watches can be affected by strong magnetic fields. If exposed, demagnetization by a professional watchmaker may be required. Ensure the watch is regularly worn or manually wound to maintain power reserve.
• Day/Date Not Changing: Verify that the time is set correctly for AM/PM. The day and date typically advance around midnight. Avoid setting the day/date between 9 PM and 3 AM.
• Water Inside Watch: If condensation or water appears inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. This indicates a breach in the water resistance.
