3. Setup and Initial Adjustment

3.1 Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (A) out to the second click position.
2. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator that synchronizes with the main time.
3. Push the crown back to the normal position.

3.2 Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown (A) out to the first click position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
3. Push the crown back to the normal position.

3.3 Chronograph Hand Reset (Zero Position Adjustment)

If the chronograph hands (seconds and minutes) do not return to the zero position after resetting, they may need adjustment.

1. Pull the crown (A) out to the second click position.
2. Press pusher (B) to advance the chronograph second hand to the 12 o'clock position.
3. Press pusher (C) to advance the chronograph minute hand to the 12 o'clock position.
4. Once all chronograph hands are at the 12 o'clock position, push the crown back to the normal position.

4. Operating the Watch

4.1 Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch)

1. To start the chronograph, press pusher (B). The chronograph second hand (6 o'clock sub-dial) and minute hand (9 o'clock sub-dial) will begin to move.
2. To stop the chronograph, press pusher (B) again. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. To reset the chronograph, press pusher (C). The chronograph hands will return to their zero positions.

4.2 Using the Alarm Function

Specific instructions for setting and activating the alarm function are typically detailed in the movement's specific module manual. Generally, the alarm is set using the crown in a specific position or a dedicated pusher, and its time is often indicated by a small hand on one of the sub-dials. Please refer to the detailed movement guide if available, or consult a professional watch technician for precise instructions.

4.3 Water Resistance

Your ESPRIT A.ES102841004 watch is rated for 10 BAR (100 meters/330 feet) water resistance. This means it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and showering. However, it is not suitable for high-impact water sports or scuba diving. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and crystal regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh cleaning agents. If the watch gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.

5.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to move in two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5.3 Strap Care

The black leather strap is designed for comfort and style. To prolong its life, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive moisture. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allow to air dry completely.

6. Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If not, set the time and push the crown back in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Date not changing: Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: Perform the chronograph hand reset procedure as described in section 3.3.
• Water inside the watch: Immediately take the watch to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to open it yourself.
