Setup
Setting the Time
- Gently pull the crown (located on the right side of the watch case) out to position 2.
- Rotate the crown in either direction to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back firmly to position 0 (normal operating position).
Setting the Date
- Gently pull the crown out to position 1.
- Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
- Once the date is set, push the crown back firmly to position 0.
Bracelet Adjustment
The stainless steel bracelet is designed for a secure fit. For proper sizing and adjustment, it is recommended to consult a professional jeweler or an authorized service center. Incorrect adjustment can damage the bracelet or clasp.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the watch's appearance. Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming but is not designed for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water exposure. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a Swiss Quartz movement, which requires a battery. Battery life varies depending on usage. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it replaced by an authorized Calvin Klein service center or a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Crystal Care
The watch features a scratch-resistant mineral crystal. While durable, it is not scratch-proof. Avoid impacts and contact with abrasive surfaces to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to position 0. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Date Not Changing Correctly: The date changes automatically at midnight. If the date changes at noon, advance the time by 12 hours. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
- Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: If the chronograph hands do not return precisely to the 12 o'clock position after pressing the reset pusher, it may require adjustment by an authorized service center.
