Setup
Setting the Time

- Gently pull the crown outwards to the first position. You may feel a slight click.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.

Operating
Timekeeping
This watch utilizes a precise quartz movement with a three-hand analog display for accurate timekeeping. Once the time is set, the watch will continuously display the current time.
Water Resistance
The watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (165 feet), or 5 ATM. This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming in shallow water. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, cleaning agents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one Lithium Metal battery. When the watch stops or the time becomes inaccurate, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
General Care
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes.
- Protect the watch from strong impacts or shocks.
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
- Ensure the crown is always pushed in completely to maintain water resistance.
