Setup

Unboxing

Carefully remove your watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage or manufacturing defects before initial use.

Adjusting the Watch Band

The stainless steel band is adjustable by adding or removing links to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. For proper adjustment, it is highly recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician. Improper adjustment can damage the band pins or the watch itself.

Setting Time and Date

Your watch features a screw-down crown for enhanced water resistance. Follow these steps to set the time and date:

1. To access the crown, unscrew it by turning it counter-clockwise until it releases and springs out.
2. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the second position. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. Setting the Date: Push the crown in slightly to the first position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism and potentially damage the movement.
4. Once the time and date are set, push the crown back in completely and screw it clockwise firmly against the watch case. This ensures the watch maintains its water resistance.

Operating Your Watch

Uni-directional Bezel

The watch is equipped with a uni-directional rotating bezel. This feature is useful for timing events, such as dive times or elapsed minutes. To use, rotate the bezel counter-clockwise until the zero marker (triangle) aligns with the minute hand. The minute hand will then indicate the elapsed time on the bezel's scale.

Luminous Hands and Hour Markers

The watch's hands and hour markers are treated with luminous material to provide visibility in low-light conditions. Exposure to natural or artificial light will charge the luminescence, allowing them to glow in the dark.

Water Resistance

This Invicta Pro Diver watch is water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). This rating makes it suitable for professional marine activity, surface water sports, and diving. Crucially, always ensure the screw-down crown is fully secured and tightened against the watch case before exposing the watch to water. Failure to do so will compromise the water resistance and may lead to internal damage.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance and hygiene of your watch, regularly clean it with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel case and band, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing with fresh water and careful drying with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a Japanese quartz movement that requires an SR626SW battery. When the battery life expires, the watch hands may stop or exhibit irregular movement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized service center to ensure the correct battery type is installed and the watch's water resistance is properly resealed.

Crystal Care

The watch features a Flame Fusion crystal, which offers enhanced scratch resistance. While durable, it is not entirely scratch-proof. Avoid unnecessary impacts or contact with abrasive materials to prevent scratches or damage to the crystal surface.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Keeping Time: If your watch is not keeping accurate time or has stopped, first ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.
• Moisture or Water Inside the Watch: If you observe any moisture or water condensation inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. This indicates a compromised water seal, which requires immediate attention to prevent further damage to the internal components.
• Band Discomfort or Damage: If the watch band causes discomfort, irritation, or shows signs of damage, have it inspected by a professional. Ensure the band is not too tight or too loose.
