Setup

1. Setting the Time:

1. Unscrew the crown (if applicable) and pull it out to position 2 (the outermost position).
2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired time is set. Ensure AM/PM is correctly observed if setting the date.
3. Push the crown back to position 0 (normal operating position) and screw it down firmly to maintain water resistance.

2. Setting the Date:

1. Unscrew the crown (if applicable) and pull it out to position 1 (the middle position).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) until the correct date appears in the date window. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
3. Push the crown back to position 0 and screw it down firmly.

3. Adjusting the Band:

The silicone band is designed for comfort. To adjust, simply use the tang buckle to find the most comfortable fit on your wrist. Ensure the watch is snug but not overly tight to allow for proper circulation.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Timekeeping:

Once the time and date are set, the watch will continuously display the current time. The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping with minimal deviation.

2. Using the Chronograph:

The chronograph function allows for precise measurement of elapsed time.

1. Start: Press pusher A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. Stop: Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press pusher B (bottom pusher) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4. Split Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. Consult the specific movement manual if this feature is desired.

3. Water Resistance:

This watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This rating makes it suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for diving. Ensure the crown is always fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning:

Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the silicone band, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

2. Battery Replacement:

The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to skip seconds (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Incorrect battery replacement can damage the movement and compromise water resistance.

3. Water Resistance Seals:

Over time, the gaskets that ensure water resistance can degrade. It is recommended to have the water resistance seals checked and replaced by a professional watchmaker every 2-3 years, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water.

4. Storage:

When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original packaging (see Figure 5) can provide suitable protection.
