3. Setup

Initial Inspection:

Upon unpacking, inspect the watch for any visible damage. Remove any protective films from the crystal, case back, and bracelet. Ensure the crown and pushers are securely screwed down to maintain water resistance.

Adjusting the Bracelet:

The stainless steel bracelet may require adjustment to fit your wrist comfortably. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the bracelet or watch. If you have a specialized watch tool kit, you may attempt to adjust it yourself by carefully tapping out pins in the direction of the arrow on the link, and reinserting them in the opposite direction.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Setting the Time:

1. Unscrew the crown by turning it counter-clockwise until it springs out to position 1.
2. Gently pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop.
3. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise 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 or date function.
4. Push the crown back into position 1 and screw it down clockwise firmly against the case to ensure water resistance.

4.2 Setting the Date:

1. Unscrew the crown by turning it counter-clockwise until it springs out to position 1.
2. Gently pull the crown out to position 1 (the first click).
3. Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.
4. Once the date is set, push the crown back into position 0 and screw it down clockwise firmly against the case to ensure water resistance.

4.3 Using the Chronograph:

The chronograph function allows for precise measurement of elapsed time.

1. Start: Unscrew the top pusher (A) and press it to start the chronograph. The large second hand will begin to move, along with the 60-second, 60-minute, and 24-hour subdials.
2. Stop: Press the top pusher (A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. Reset: After stopping, press the bottom pusher (B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4. Ensure both pushers are screwed down firmly after use to maintain water resistance.

4.4 Water Resistance:

Your Invicta Speedway watch is water-resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). This makes it suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports, but not for saturation diving. Always ensure the crown and pushers are fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning:

Regularly clean your watch with a soft, damp cloth. For the metal bracelet, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used, ensuring to rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the watch's finish or water resistance seals.

Battery Replacement:

The watch is powered by one LR44 battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a professional watchmaker to ensure the proper sealing and water resistance of the watch are maintained.

Water Resistance Check:

It is recommended to have the watch's water resistance checked annually by an authorized service center, especially if it is frequently exposed to water or if the case has been opened for battery replacement or service.

6. Troubleshooting

Watch Not Running:

• Check if the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down.
• The battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker.

Date Not Changing:

• Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date typically changes around midnight.
• Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM.

Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:

• Ensure the chronograph is stopped before attempting to reset.
• If hands are misaligned, consult the manufacturer's specific instructions for chronograph hand calibration or seek professional service.

Water Leakage:

• Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
• Ensure the crown and pushers were fully screwed down before water exposure.
