5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish and crystal.

5.2 Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant up to 10 ATM (100 meters / 330 feet). This means it is suitable for everyday use, including showering, bathing, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is not designed for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

5.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a CR2 battery. When the battery runs low, the watch hands may stop or operate erratically. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise the watch's water resistance.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Watch Not Running

  • Check the Crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to the normal operating position. If it is pulled out, the watch will not run.
  • Battery: The battery may be depleted. Refer to section 5.3 for battery replacement.

6.2 Incorrect Time/Date

  • Reset Time/Date: Follow the instructions in section 3.1 and 3.2 to reset the time, date, and day.
  • Impact: A strong impact may have affected the movement. If the issue persists after resetting, professional inspection may be required.

6.3 Condensation Under Crystal

  • Temperature Changes: Rapid temperature changes can cause temporary condensation. This should dissipate naturally.
  • Water Intrusion: If condensation is persistent or appears as droplets, it may indicate water intrusion. Seek professional service immediately to prevent damage to the movement.
