Setup
Setting the Time and Date:
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to the second click position.
- Set the time: Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Ensure you distinguish between AM and PM if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or if setting the date.
- Set the date: Push the crown in one click to the first click position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.
- Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its normal operating position to start the watch.
Adjusting the Bracelet:
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted to fit your wrist. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to prevent damage to the bracelet or watch.
Operating the Chronograph
Your Sekonda 1056 watch features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time. The chronograph is operated using the pushers located on either side of the crown.
- Start: Press the top pusher (usually at the 2 o'clock position) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the top pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands on the sub-dials.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the bottom pusher (usually at the 4 o'clock position) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
- Intermediate (Split) Time: Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. Consult a more detailed movement-specific manual if this feature is desired and not explicitly covered here.
Maintenance and Care
Water Resistance:
Your Sekonda 1056 watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use, including showering and swimming in shallow water. However, it is not suitable for diving or prolonged submersion. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
General Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the stainless steel bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose your watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, bracelet, or seals.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect its accuracy and water resistance.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields, such as those produced by speakers, refrigerators, or certain electronic devices, as they can affect the watch's movement.
- Battery Replacement: The watch uses 1 product-specific battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
