• Chronograph Sub-dials:
  • Small seconds hand (usually at 6 o'clock or 9 o'clock).
  • Chronograph minute counter (e.g., 30-minute counter).
  • 24-hour indicator (often linked to main time).
• Date Window: Displays the current date.
• Leather Strap: Brown leather with a buckle clasp for secure wearing.

Setup

1. Unboxing and Inspection:

Carefully remove the watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage or defects. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.

2. Adjusting the Strap:

The brown leather strap features multiple holes for size adjustment. Select the hole that provides a comfortable and secure fit on your wrist. The watch should be snug enough not to slide freely but not so tight as to restrict circulation.

Operating Instructions

1. Setting the Time:

1. Pull the crown out to the second click position (farthest from the case). The second hand will stop.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back in to the normal position (against the case). The second hand will resume movement.

2. Setting the Date:

1. Pull the crown out to the first click position.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date.
3. Once the date is set, push the crown back in to the normal position.
4. Important: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If the date needs to be set during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date, then reset the time.

3. Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch):

The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time.

1. To start the chronograph, press Pusher A (top pusher). The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. To stop the chronograph, press Pusher A again. The chronograph second hand and minute counter will stop, displaying the elapsed time.
3. To reset the chronograph, press Pusher B (bottom pusher). All chronograph hands will return to their zero positions.
4. To measure split times (intermediate times without stopping the main measurement):
   • Press Pusher A to start.
   • Press Pusher B to record a split time (the hands will stop, but timing continues internally).
   • Press Pusher B again to catch up to the ongoing time.
   • Press Pusher A to stop the chronograph.
   • Press Pusher B to reset.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.
• Water Resistance: This watch is water resistant to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use, accidental splashes, and short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and battery life.
• Chemicals: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, strap, or internal components.
• Magnetic Fields: Strong magnetic fields can affect the accuracy of quartz watches. Keep the watch away from strong magnets.
• Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump in irregular intervals (low battery indicator), it is time for a battery replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
