Operating the Chronograph

Sub-dial Functions:
- Sub-dial at 3 o'clock: 24-hour indicator, synchronized with the main time.

- Sub-dial at 9 o'clock: Chronograph minute counter (up to 30 minutes).
Maintenance
Water Resistance:
Your Hugo Boss Companion watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters / 165 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but it is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water exposure. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
Cleaning:
To clean your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement:
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the battery is low, the second hand may jump in 2-second intervals. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time: Reset the time as described in the 'Setting the Time' section.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may indicate a need for calibration or service. Consult a qualified technician.
