Setup

Setting the Time:

1. Pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will stop.
2. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set by observing the 24-hour sub-dial (if present) or by advancing the time past 12 o'clock to see if the date changes.
3. Push the crown back to the normal position.

Setting the Date:

1. Pull the crown out to the first click position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to set the date.
3. Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back to the normal position.

Note: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this may interfere with the date change mechanism. If you need to set the date during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date, then reset the time.

Operating the Chronograph

Your AVI-8 watch features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time.

Standard Time Measurement:

1. Press pusher A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand and minute sub-dial will begin to move.
2. Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. Press pusher B (bottom pusher) to reset the chronograph. All chronograph hands will return to their zero positions.

Split Time Measurement:

1. Press pusher A to start the chronograph.
2. Press pusher B to measure a split time. The chronograph hands will stop, allowing you to read the elapsed time, while the internal timing continues.
3. Press pusher B again to release the split time. The chronograph hands will instantly advance to catch up with the ongoing elapsed time.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 for multiple split times.
5. Press pusher A to stop the chronograph.
6. Press pusher B to reset the chronograph.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture.
• Water Resistance: This watch has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or prolonged water immersion. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and battery life.
• Chemicals: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• Magnetic Fields: Strong magnetic fields can affect the accuracy of quartz watches. Keep the watch away from strong magnets.
• Battery Replacement: When the battery runs low, the second hand may start moving in two-second intervals. Replace the battery promptly at an authorized service center to prevent leakage and damage to the movement.
