Setup Guide
1. Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the first click position.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal position.
2. Setting the Date (if applicable):
This model features a date display. To set the date:
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
- Once the date is set, push the crown back into its normal position.
3. Adjusting the Leather Strap:
The leather strap is designed for comfort and adjustability. Simply use the buckle to find the most comfortable fit on your wrist. Ensure it is snug but not too tight to allow for proper circulation.

Operating Your Watch
Timekeeping:
Your Lotus 18671/3 watch is powered by a precise quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. Once the time and date are set, the watch will operate continuously as long as the battery is functional.
Water Resistance (10 ATM):
This watch is rated for 10 ATM (Atmospheres) of water resistance, which means it can withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 100 meters (approximately 330 feet). This makes it suitable for:
- Everyday use, including splashes and rain.
- Showering and bathing.
- Swimming and snorkeling.
Important: Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged in water. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may eventually be compromised by the aging of gaskets or accidental shocks to the crown or case.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch:
- Wipe the watch case and mineral glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals, as these can cause damage or discoloration. Clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
- Do not use chemical cleaners or abrasive materials on any part of the watch.
Battery Replacement:
Your watch is powered by one LR44 battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Storage:
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original packaging box is ideal for storage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch has stopped running. | Battery is depleted. | Replace the battery. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watchmaker. |
| Time is incorrect. | Crown is not fully pushed in, or time was set incorrectly. | Pull out the crown, reset the time, and push the crown back in firmly. |
| Date is incorrect. | Date was set incorrectly or not adjusted for month length. | Adjust the date using the crown. Remember to manually adjust the date at the end of months with fewer than 31 days. |
