Setup
Setting Time and Date
- Unscrew the Crown: Gently unscrew the crown (located on the side of the watch case) counter-clockwise until it is free from the case.
- Pull to Position 1 (Date Setting): Pull the crown out to the first click position. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Pull to Position 2 (Time Setting): Pull the crown out to the second click position. Turn the crown to move the hands and set the correct time. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a date function that changes at midnight.
- Push and Screw Down the Crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into the case and screw it down clockwise firmly until it is tight. This ensures water resistance.

Operating
Water Resistance (20 ATM / 200 Meters)
Your watch is water-resistant up to 20 ATM (200 meters), making it suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports, but not for saturation diving. To maintain water resistance:
- Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers (if applicable) while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, which can affect seals.
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel bracelet, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing with fresh water and drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement
This watch operates with a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may jump in intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the correct battery type is used and the water resistance is maintained.
Water Resistance Checks
It is recommended to have the water resistance of your watch checked annually by an authorized service center, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water or if the case has been opened for any reason.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch is battery-powered, the battery may need replacement. If it's an automatic movement, ensure it has been sufficiently wound or worn.
- Date Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date typically changes around midnight. If the date is stuck, try manually advancing it using the crown in Position 1.
- Condensation Under Crystal: This indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a service center to prevent further damage to the movement.
