2. Adjust the date: If in position 2, turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the correct date.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet), suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance. Exposure to hot water, steam, or harsh chemicals (like detergents or perfumes) should be avoided as they can damage the seals.

4.2 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the finish.

4.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a battery. When the watch stops running or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.

4.4 Mineral Crystal Care

The watch features a durable mineral crystal designed to resist scratches. However, it is not scratch-proof. Avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive surfaces to prevent damage.

5. Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect time/date: Refer to section 2.1 for instructions on how to set the time and date.
• Chronograph not resetting to zero: This may require a specific reset procedure or professional adjustment. Consult a watch technician.
• Condensation under the crystal: This indicates a breach in water resistance. Immediately seek professional service to prevent further damage to the movement.
