Operating the Chronograph
The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time. Your watch features three sub-dials for 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 24 hours.
- Start: Press the upper pusher (button A) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the upper pusher (button A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time can be read from the sub-dials.
- Reset: Press the lower pusher (button B) to reset the chronograph. All chronograph hands will return to their zero positions.
Using the Unidirectional Bezel
The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel. This can be used to measure elapsed time up to 60 minutes. Rotate the bezel so that the zero mark aligns with the minute hand. As time passes, the minute hand will indicate the elapsed time on the bezel scale.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For silicone straps, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Water Resistance: This watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). It is suitable for swimming and snorkeling but not for diving. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and seals.
- Chemicals: Keep the watch away from chemicals such as solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, which can damage the case, strap, or seals.
- Impact: Protect the watch from strong impacts or shocks.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand moves erratically, the battery may need replacement. This should be done by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
