Setup
1. Setting the Time
- Gently pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position). The second hand will resume movement.
2. Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted to fit your wrist size. This typically involves adding or removing links. For precise and safe adjustment, it is recommended to have this procedure performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service.
3. Initial Battery Activation
Your watch comes with a pre-installed LR44 battery. If the watch is not running upon receipt, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. Some watches may have a small plastic stopper under the crown to preserve battery life during shipping; remove this if present.
Operating Instructions
1. Basic Timekeeping
Once the time is set and the crown is in position 1, your watch will continuously display the current time. The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping.
2. Using the Chronograph Function
Your watch features a chronograph (stopwatch) function, operated by the two pushers on the side of the case.

- Start/Stop: Press the top pusher to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop the timing.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
3. Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering, as water pressure and steam can compromise the seals.
- Important: Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged in water.
- Ensure the crown is always fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch
To keep your watch looking its best:
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
2. Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by an LR44 battery. When the battery is depleted, the watch will stop running. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained and to prevent damage to the movement.
3. Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing it near strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of quartz movements.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed into position 1. If it still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time: Re-set the time following the instructions in the 'Setup' section. If the time consistently loses or gains significantly, the watch may require servicing.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: If the chronograph hands do not return to their zero positions after pressing the reset pusher, consult a professional watch technician for adjustment.
