Setup

Initial Charging

Your Eco-Drive watch is powered by light. Before initial use, or if the watch has stopped, ensure it is fully charged.

• Place the watch in direct sunlight or under a fluorescent lamp.
• For a full charge from a completely stopped state, expose the watch to direct sunlight for approximately 11 hours, or under a fluorescent lamp (30W, 20cm distance) for about 50 hours.
• Avoid placing the watch too close to a light source, as this may cause overheating and damage.

Setting the Time and Date

To set the time and date on your Promaster Diver watch:

1. Unscrew the crown (located at the 3 o'clock position) by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the crown out to the first click for date adjustment, or to the second click for time adjustment.
3. Turn the crown to set the desired time or date. For time, ensure the AM/PM is correctly set by observing the date change around midnight.
4. Once set, push the crown back in and screw it clockwise until it is securely tightened to maintain water resistance.

Operating the Watch

Using the Unidirectional Rotating Bezel

The Promaster Diver features a unidirectional rotating bezel, essential for dive time measurement.

1. Before diving, align the ▼ mark on the bezel with the minute hand.
2. As time passes, the minute hand will indicate the elapsed dive time against the bezel's scale.
3. The bezel rotates only counter-clockwise to prevent accidental shortening of the dive time, ensuring safety.

Luminous Hands and Markers

The watch features luminous hands and markers for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, including underwater. Exposure to light charges the luminous material, allowing it to glow in the dark.

Maintenance

Water Resistance

This watch is ISO compliant and water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). This rating makes it suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports, but not saturation diving.

• Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

Cleaning and Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your watch:

• Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals.
• The Super Titanium material is highly scratch-resistant but not entirely scratch-proof. Handle with care to preserve its finish.
