4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant up to 200 meters (660 feet), making it suitable for professional marine activity, surface water sports, and diving. To maintain water resistance, ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.

4.2 Unidirectional Bezel

The uni-directional rotating bezel can be used to measure elapsed time. Rotate the bezel counter-clockwise to align the zero marker with the minute hand. The minute hand's position on the bezel will then indicate the elapsed time.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Replacement

This watch uses a Japanese quartz movement (PC32 Caliber) powered by an SR626SW battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance and proper function are maintained.

5.2 Cleaning and Care

To keep your watch in optimal condition:

  • Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges.
  • For stainless steel parts, a damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth.
  • Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
  • Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine, then dry thoroughly.

6. Troubleshooting

If your watch is not functioning correctly, consider the following:

  • Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
  • Incorrect time/date: Refer to Section 3.1 for instructions on setting the time and date.
