- Pull Out the Crown: Gently pull the crown outwards to the time-setting position. You may feel a slight click.

3. Operating Your Watch
3.1 Basic Timekeeping
Your Armitron 75/5338 watch is designed for reliable timekeeping. Once the time is set, the watch will continuously display the current time using its hour, minute, and second hands.
3.2 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant. This generally means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water, such as washing hands or light rain. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving, as prolonged water exposure or high water pressure can damage the watch. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
4. Maintenance and Care
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
- Case and Crystal: Wipe the watch case and crystal (glass) with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Leather Strap: Avoid exposing the leather strap to excessive moisture, direct sunlight, or harsh chemicals, as these can cause damage or discoloration. Wipe the strap with a dry cloth to remove surface dirt.
4.2 Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.
4.3 Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by one LR44 battery (included). When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
