2.2 Adjusting the Strap
The silicone strap features a buckle closure. Adjust the strap by selecting the appropriate hole for a comfortable and secure fit on your wrist. Ensure the watch is not too tight to avoid discomfort, nor too loose to prevent excessive movement.
3. Operating the Chronograph
Your Diesel Mega Chief DZ4378 watch is equipped with a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time. The chronograph features three subdials: a 60-second counter, a 30-minute counter, and a 24-hour indicator.

- Start/Stop: Press the top pusher (A) to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop the measurement.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the bottom pusher (B) to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
- Split Time: Some models may feature a split-time function. Consult the detailed manual for specific instructions if applicable.
3.1 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 330 feet (10 BAR). This rating makes it suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
- Case and Crystal: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
- Silicone Strap: Clean the silicone strap with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before wearing. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a product-specific battery (included). When the battery runs low, the watch hands may stop or the chronograph may malfunction. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
5. 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 past midnight, as the date typically changes between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the date is stuck, try manually advancing it using the crown in position 2.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: If the chronograph hands do not reset to the 12 o'clock position, they may need calibration. Consult a professional watch repair service.
