Setup
Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to position 2 for setting the date, or to position 3 for setting the time.
- Set the date: In position 2, turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct date appears in the date window.
- Set the time: In position 3, turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or if setting the date.
- Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch.
Adjusting the Leather Strap
The brown leather strap features a buckle closure. To adjust the fit, simply move the buckle pin to the desired hole on the strap. Ensure the watch is snug but comfortable on your wrist, allowing for proper blood circulation.
Operating the Chronograph Function
Your Diesel Mega Chief watch is equipped with a chronograph (stopwatch) function, controlled by two pushers located above and below the crown.
- Start/Stop: Press the upper pusher to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop the timing.
- Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
The three subdials on your watch track minutes, seconds, and 24-hour time for the chronograph function.

Maintenance
Water Resistance
Your watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet) or 10 ATM. This means it is suitable for bathing, swimming, snorkeling, and shallow diving. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
Cleaning
- Case and Crystal: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Leather Strap: Clean the leather strap with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures, as these can damage the leather.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses 1 LR44 battery. When the watch stops running or the second hand begins to jump erratically, it is an indication that the battery needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.

Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time/date: Refer to the "Setting the Time and Date" section to re-adjust.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may require a professional adjustment. Consult a watch technician.
- Condensation inside the watch: This indicates a potential breach in the water resistance. Seek immediate professional service to prevent further damage.
