Setup
Setting Time and Date
- Unscrew the Crown: Gently unscrew the crown (located on the right side of the watch case) counter-clockwise until it is free.
- Set the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click position. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
- Set the Time: Pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will stop. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set by observing if the date changes at midnight.
- Secure the Crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back in and screw it clockwise firmly against the case to ensure water resistance.
Bezel Operation
The unidirectional rotating bezel can be used to measure elapsed time. Rotate the bezel counter-clockwise to align the zero marker with the minute hand. As time passes, the minute hand will indicate the elapsed time on the bezel scale.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your Luminox watch, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For rubber straps, mild soap and water can be used. Ensure the crown is fully screwed in before cleaning to prevent water ingress.
Battery Replacement
The watch requires one LR44 battery. Battery replacement should be performed by an authorized Luminox service center to ensure proper sealing and water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise the watch's water resistance.
General Care
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature changes.
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields.
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: If the watch stops, the battery may need replacement. Contact an authorized service center.
- Date Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM. If the issue persists, consult the service center.
- Reduced Illumination: Luminox Light Technology provides constant illumination. If the glow appears significantly dimmer, contact customer support.
- Water Inside Crystal: If condensation or water appears inside the crystal, immediately take the watch to an authorized service center. This indicates a breach in water resistance.
