Operating the Watch

Indiglo Night-Light

The Indiglo night-light illuminates the watch dial for easy reading in low-light conditions. To activate, simply press and hold the crown (in position 1).

Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The watch uses 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). When the watch stops or the Indiglo light dims significantly, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.

Strap Care

The watch features a genuine leather strap. To prolong its life, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Leather straps may show wear over time, which is normal.
