Maintenance

Water Resistance

This watch has a water resistance rating of 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving.

Battery Replacement

The watch requires 1 Lithium Metal battery, which is included. When the watch stops or the INDIGLO light dims significantly, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and use a leather-specific cleaner if necessary. Allow the strap to air dry completely.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• INDIGLO light not working: Ensure the crown is pressed firmly. If it still doesn't work, the battery may be low.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may indicate a need for calibration or service. Consult a watch technician.
