Initial Setup
Setting Time and Date:
- Pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the first click position to set the date. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct date appears in the date window.
- Pull the crown out to the second click position to set the time. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or if setting the date.
- Once the time and date are set, push the crown back in to its original position to start the watch.
Adjusting the Bracelet:
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing links to achieve a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a professional watchmaker to avoid damage. For visual guidance on watch sizing, please refer to the video below.

Operating Your Watch
Basic Timekeeping:
Your watch is powered by a precise Japanese Quartz Movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The main hands display hours, minutes, and seconds.
Using the Chronograph Function:
The chronograph feature allows you to measure elapsed time. The watch typically has two push-buttons on the side, in addition to the crown.
- Press the top push-button to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Press the top push-button again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed.
- Press the bottom push-button to reset the chronograph to zero.
Water Resistance Guidelines:
This watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (165 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or push-buttons when the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the metal bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose your watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, crystal, or bracelet.
- Temperature Extremes: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as this can affect the battery life and movement accuracy.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones) to prevent interference with the quartz movement.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery runs out, have it replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and scratches.
