Setup

Setting the Main Time Zone

1. Pull the Crown: Gently pull the main crown (located on the right side of the watch case) outwards to the first position.
2. Adjust Time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. Push Crown In: Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position to engage the watch movement and begin timekeeping.

Setting the Second Time Zone (Left Sub-dial)

1. Locate Adjustment Pin: Identify the small adjustment pin or recessed button associated with the left sub-dial. This may require a small, pointed tool (e.g., a toothpick or pen tip) to access.
2. Adjust Sub-dial: Carefully press or rotate the adjustment mechanism to set the hands of the left sub-dial to the desired second time zone.
3. Secure Mechanism: Ensure the adjustment mechanism is securely returned to its original position after setting to prevent accidental changes.

Operating Your Watch

Your Oulm HT9316W watch is designed for straightforward operation, primarily focusing on accurate timekeeping for two distinct time zones. No complex functions are associated with the decorative elements.

Daily Use

Wear your watch comfortably on your wrist. The quartz movement ensures consistent timekeeping without the need for daily winding. Periodically check the time against a reliable source and adjust if necessary, especially when traveling between time zones.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, and light smudges. For the mesh steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate and thorough drying to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Water Resistance: This watch is generally designed for daily wear and can withstand minor splashes or rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or submersion.
• Battery Replacement: The quartz movement is powered by a watch battery. When the watch stops running or exhibits inconsistent timekeeping, it typically indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
• Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields, which can affect quartz movement accuracy.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, band, or internal components.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: First, ensure the main crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not operate, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch technician.
• Incorrect Time: If the time is inaccurate, re-set the main time zone using the crown as described in the "Setup" section. For the second time zone, adjust its specific pin.
• Sub-dial Not Working: As previously mentioned, the right sub-dial and the two smaller sub-dials are decorative and not functional. Only the main time display and the left sub-dial are operational. This is not a malfunction.
• Condensation Under Crystal: If condensation appears under the watch crystal, it may indicate a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and have the watch inspected by a technician promptly.
