2.2 Setting the Time
- Locate the crown on the right side of the watch case.
- Gently pull the crown out to the second click position. The watch hands will stop moving.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal operating position. The watch hands will resume movement.
2.3 Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
- Once the date is set, push the crown back into its normal operating position.
2.4 Setting Dual-Time Sub-dials
The dual-time feature includes 24-hour and minute sub-dials. These sub-dials are typically synchronized with the main time display or can be adjusted independently depending on the specific movement. Refer to the detailed diagram (if available with your specific model) for precise adjustment points. Generally, small pushers on the side of the case or specific crown positions are used to advance these sub-dials.
3. Operating Your Watch
3.1 Timekeeping
Your SEKONDA watch is powered by a precise quartz movement, providing accurate timekeeping. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance and proper operation.
3.2 Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance rating of 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a product-specific battery. 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.
4.3 Strap Care
The leather strap is designed for comfort and durability. To prolong its life, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allow to air dry completely.
5. Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time/date: Refer to Section 2.2 and 2.3 to reset the time and date.
- Condensation under crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and seek professional service immediately.
- Strap discomfort or damage: Ensure the strap is not too tight. If the strap is damaged, consider replacing it with an official SEKONDA strap.
