Setup

Your Tudor Glamour Day Date watch is equipped with an automatic movement, meaning it winds itself with the motion of your wrist. Before initial use or after a period of inactivity, it may require manual winding.

Manual Winding

1. Unscrew the crown (if applicable) and pull it out to position 1 (winding position).
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide sufficient power reserve to start the watch.
3. Push the crown back in and screw it down to ensure water resistance.

Setting the Time, Day, and Date

1. Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and could be damaged.
2. Setting the Day: In position 2, turn the crown in the opposite direction to adjust the day of the week. The day window at 12 o'clock will display the full day name.
3. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to position 3 (the outermost position). The seconds hand will stop. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure accuracy, set the time a few minutes ahead and then turn the crown counter-clockwise to bring the hands back to the correct time. This removes any play in the gear train.
4. Once the time, day, and date are set, push the crown back in and screw it down firmly to maintain the watch's water resistance.

Operating

Your Tudor Glamour Day Date watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. This means it does not require a battery. The movement is wound by the natural motion of your wrist throughout the day. When fully wound, the watch has a power reserve that allows it to continue running for a certain period even when not worn.

• Power Reserve: If the watch is not worn for an extended period (typically 36-48 hours, depending on the specific movement), it will stop. To restart it, manually wind it as described in the "Setup" section.
• Wearing the Watch: For optimal performance, wear your watch regularly. Consistent wrist movement ensures the mainspring remains sufficiently wound.

Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Tudor watch.

• Cleaning: Clean the case and metal bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, especially after exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water (ensure the crown is fully screwed down) and dry it with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners.
• Water Resistance: Your watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This makes it suitable for swimming and showering, but not for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers (if any) while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and extreme temperature changes, as this can affect the lubrication and accuracy of the movement.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices), as magnetism can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement. If your watch becomes magnetized, it may run fast or slow and will require demagnetization by a professional.
• Servicing: Like any precision instrument, your Tudor watch requires periodic servicing to maintain its performance. It is recommended to have your watch serviced by an authorized Tudor service center every 3-5 years.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your watch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Watch has stopped:
  • The watch may have run out of power reserve. Manually wind the watch (20-30 turns of the crown) and wear it regularly.
  • If the watch still does not start or stops frequently, it may require servicing.
• Watch is running fast or slow:
  • Minor variations in accuracy are normal for mechanical watches.
  • Exposure to strong magnetic fields can affect accuracy. If suspected, seek professional demagnetization.
  • If the deviation is significant and persistent, the watch may require regulation or servicing.
• Date/Day not changing correctly:
  • Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date and day typically change around midnight.
  • Avoid manually setting the date/day between 9 PM and 3 AM.
• Condensation under the crystal:
  • This indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center to prevent damage to the movement.
