- Adjust the time: Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push in the crown: Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal operating position. This will start the watch movement.

Maintenance
Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance rating of 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving.
- Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Exposure to hot water (e.g., hot showers, saunas) can compromise water resistance.
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
- For metal bracelets, a soft brush and mild soapy water can be used, followed by thorough drying. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they may damage the watch's finish or seals.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops running, the battery needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops running | Depleted battery | Replace the battery (recommended by a professional). |
| Time is inaccurate | Crown not fully pushed in; strong magnetic fields | Ensure crown is fully pushed in. Keep watch away from strong magnets. If problem persists, consult a technician. |
| Condensation inside crystal | Loss of water resistance seal | Immediately take the watch to a qualified technician for inspection and repair. |
