When Storing the Watch

Avoid placing your watch in areas with strong magnetism when storing it, as this can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.

Water Resistance

Refer to the watch dial and/or the case back for the indication of the water resistance of your watch. The following chart provides examples of use for reference to ensure that your watch is used properly. The unit "1 bar" is roughly equal to 10 meters.

WARNING: Water resistant watches are only water resistant when the crown is fully pushed in and, if applicable, screwed down. Do not operate the crown or pushers underwater.

4. Setup

4.1 Adjusting the Watch Band

The stainless steel band is designed to be adjustable. If the band is too large, links can be removed to achieve a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have a professional jeweler perform link removal to prevent damage to the band or watch. The clasp also features micro-adjustments for finer sizing, which can be changed using a small spring bar tool.

4.2 Setting Time and Date

1. Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown out to the first or second click position.
2. Setting the Date: If the crown is at the first click, rotate it clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date.
3. Setting the Time: If the crown is at the second click, rotate it to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
4. Push the Crown Back: Once the time and date are set, push the crown firmly back into its original position to ensure water resistance.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Crown Functions

The crown is used for setting the time and date. Ensure it is always pushed in fully when not adjusting the watch to maintain its water resistance.

5.2 Unidirectional Bezel

The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel can be rotated counter-clockwise to mark elapsed time. Align the triangle marker on the bezel with the minute hand at the start of an event to track its duration. The unidirectional design prevents accidental increases in recorded time, which is crucial for diving safety.

5.3 Water Resistance

Your Invicta 8932OB watch is water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). This makes it suitable for professional marine activity, surface water sports, and diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel bands, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by thorough drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

6.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by an SR626SW battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker or an authorized service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

7. Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Inaccurate Time: This could be due to a low battery or exposure to strong magnetic fields. If the issue persists after battery replacement and avoiding magnetic fields, contact customer support.
• Condensation Under Crystal: If you notice moisture inside the watch, this indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately contact an authorized service center to prevent further damage.
