4. Maintenance and Care

4.1. Water Resistance

This 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 important to ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure. Do not operate the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

4.2. Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel bracelets, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

4.3. Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a Lithium Ion battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take the watch to an authorized Diesel service center or a professional watch repair shop to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Date not changing: Check if the date was set during the restricted hours (9 PM - 3 AM). If so, reset the date outside of these hours.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may require a calibration. Consult the Diesel service center for assistance.
• For any other issues, please refer to the official Diesel support channels.
