Your watch features a robust design with several key components:
- Crown: Used for setting time and date.
- Pushers: For operating chronograph functions.
- Dial: Displays hours, minutes, and seconds.
- Sub-dials: Indicate chronograph minutes, seconds, and 24-hour time.
- Date Window: Displays the current date.
- Bezel: Rotatable ring, used for timing.
- Silicone Strap: Durable and comfortable for daily wear.
Setup
Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will stop.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date changes at midnight.
- Push the crown back into the normal position. The second hand will resume movement.
Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Rotate the crown to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the date change mechanism. If the current time falls within this period, first adjust the time outside this range, set the date, then reset the time.
- Push the crown back into the normal position.
Operating the Chronograph
This model features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time. Refer to Figure 2 for pusher locations.
- Start/Stop: Press the upper pusher to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the lower pusher to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
Note: For accurate measurement, ensure the chronograph hands are reset to zero before starting a new measurement.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For silicone straps, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by thorough drying.
Water Resistance
Your watch has a water resistance rating of 10 ATM / 100 meters, as indicated on the dial. This indicates suitability for swimming and snorkeling, but not for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement requiring a battery. When the battery is low, the second hand may jump in 2-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance and ensure proper function.
Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops or runs intermittently. | Low battery. | Replace battery by a professional. |
| Date does not change at midnight. | Time set incorrectly (AM/PM). | Reset the time, ensuring the hour hand passes 12 AM for the date to advance. |
| Condensation inside the watch. | Exposure to extreme temperature changes or compromised water resistance. | Seek immediate professional service to prevent internal damage. |
| Chronograph hands do not reset to zero. | Requires calibration. | Consult a watch technician for adjustment. |
