Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the proper use and care of your JACQUES LEMANS 1-1820C Miami men's watch. This sporty and elegant timepiece features an oversized stainless steel case, a precise quartz movement, a date display, and a durable silicone strap. It is equipped with hardened Crystex glass for protection and includes a chronograph function.

Setup

1. Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (central knob) out to the second click position.
2. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. Push the crown back into the normal position.

2. Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown out to the first click position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the model) to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.

3. Strap Adjustment

The silicone strap is designed for comfort and durability. Adjust the buckle to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit on your wrist. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation.

Operating Instructions

1. Using the Chronograph Function

Your watch is equipped with a chronograph (stopwatch) function.

1. Start/Stop: Press the upper pusher (button) to start and stop the chronograph.
2. Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the lower pusher to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.

2. Water Resistance

This watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, and general daily use involving water splashes. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the silicone strap, a mild soap solution and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

2. Battery Replacement

As a quartz watch, it is powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (End-of-Life indicator), the battery needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

3. Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, 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 the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Date not changing: Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date typically changes around midnight. If the date is set between 9 PM and 3 AM, manually adjust it outside this window.
• Condensation under the crystal: This indicates moisture ingress. Immediately seek professional service to prevent damage to the movement.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may require a chronograph reset procedure, which can vary by movement. Consult a professional watchmaker if the issue persists after attempting a basic reset.
