2. Setup and Initial Adjustment

Before wearing your watch, it is important to set the time and calendar functions correctly. As an automatic watch, it is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, it will require initial winding.

2.1 Initial Winding

1. Ensure the crown is in position 0 (fully pushed in).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide sufficient power reserve to start the watch.
3. The watch will begin to run. Regular wear will keep the watch wound.

2.2 Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (farthest out). The seconds hand will stop.
2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Pay attention to the 24-hour subdial to ensure AM/PM is correctly set, as this affects the date change.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 0 (fully in). The seconds hand will resume movement.

2.3 Setting Date, Day, and Moon Phase

The Oris Artelier Multifunction watch features a date subdial, a day of the week subdial, and a moon phase indicator. These are typically adjusted using the crown in an intermediate position or via small recessed pushers on the side of the watch case.

• Important: Avoid adjusting the date or day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanism is engaged in changing the calendar. Adjusting during this period can damage the movement.
• Crown Position 1 (Date/Day Quick Set): Gently pull the crown out to position 1 (one click).
  • Rotate the crown in one direction (e.g., clockwise) to adjust the date.
  • Rotate the crown in the opposite direction (e.g., counter-clockwise) to adjust the day of the week.
• Recessed Pushers (Moon Phase / Additional Calendar): Use a small, non-sharp tool (like a toothpick or the end of a paperclip) to gently press the recessed pushers on the side of the watch case.
  • One pusher typically advances the moon phase indicator.
  • The other pusher may adjust an additional calendar function if not covered by the crown.
• After setting, push the crown back to position 0.

Note: For precise instructions on which pusher controls which function, please refer to the official Oris user manual specific to your movement caliber.

3. Operating Your Watch

Your Oris Artelier watch is designed for daily wear and features several complications:

• Time Display: The central hands indicate hours, minutes, and seconds.
• Date Subdial: Located at the 9 o'clock position, this subdial displays the current date (1-31).
• Day of the Week Subdial: Positioned at 3 o'clock, this subdial shows the current day (Mon-Sun).
• 24-Hour Subdial: Found at the 6 o'clock position, this subdial indicates the time in a 24-hour format, useful for tracking a second time zone or distinguishing AM/PM.
• Moon Phase Indicator: Located beneath the 12 o'clock position, this complication displays the current phase of the moon.

The automatic movement winds itself with the natural motion of your wrist. If worn daily for at least 8-10 hours, it should maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it will stop and require manual winding and time setting as described in Section 2.1 and 2.2.

4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Oris Artelier watch.

4.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and sapphire crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Clean with a specialized leather cleaner if necessary, following product instructions.

4.2 Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM / 5 bar). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water immersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

4.3 Storage

• When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices) as these can affect the watch's accuracy.

4.4 Servicing

Mechanical watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by an authorized service center to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement.

5. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Watch has stopped or is running slow:
  • The watch may need winding. Hand-wind it 20-30 times (Section 2.1) or wear it consistently for several hours.
  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
• Date/Day changes at noon instead of midnight:
  • The watch's 24-hour cycle is incorrectly set. Advance the time by 12 hours (Section 2.2).
• Condensation under the crystal:
  • This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Contact an authorized service center immediately to prevent damage to the movement.
