2.5 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming in shallow water. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
3. Operating the Watch
3.1 Time Display
The watch displays time using traditional hour, minute, and second hands. The sub-dials provide chronograph functions.

- Start/Stop: Press the top pusher (A) to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop the measurement.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the bottom pusher (B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they may damage the watch's finish or seals.
4.2 Water Resistance Care
To maintain water resistance, ensure the crown is always fully pushed in. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged. Do not expose the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise the water-resistant seals.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one LR44 battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may skip. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function, especially to maintain water resistance.
4.4 Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.
5. Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to sections 2.2 and 2.3 for setting instructions. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
- Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: This may indicate a need for calibration or service. Consult a professional watch technician.
