Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly clean the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 meters / 330 feet). This makes it suitable for short periods of recreational swimming and showering. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the push-buttons or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a Lithium Metal battery. When the battery life is nearing its end, the second hand may jump every few seconds (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by an authorized Tissot service center or a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not keeping time:
  • Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
  • The battery may need replacement. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.
  • If issues persist after battery replacement, seek professional service.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero:
  • Ensure the chronograph is stopped before attempting to reset.
  • If hands are misaligned, consult an authorized service center for calibration.
• Condensation under the crystal:
  • This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center to prevent internal damage.
