Components:
- Crown: Used for setting time and date.
- Pushers (A & B): Used to operate the chronograph functions.
- Main Dial: Displays hours, minutes, and seconds.
- Sub-dials: Typically for chronograph minutes, seconds, and 24-hour display (specific functions may vary).
- Date Window: Displays the current date.
- Stainless Steel Bracelet: Durable and adjustable for wrist comfort.
Setup
Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will stop.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date changes at midnight.
- Push the crown back into the normal position. The second hand will resume movement.
Setting the Date:
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Rotate the crown to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Push the crown back into the normal position.
Operating the Chronograph
The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time independently of the main time display.
- Start: Press pusher A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Reset: After stopping, press pusher B (bottom pusher) to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.
- Split Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. Refer to specific movement instructions if this feature is present.
Note: Do not operate the pushers while the watch is wet or submerged in water, as this can compromise water resistance.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and perspiration. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance (100 Meters / 10 ATM):
Your Orient MBSSC064 watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and showering. However, it is not suitable for high-impact water sports, diving, or prolonged submersion at depths beyond its rating.
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot shower immediately followed by cold water), as this can affect seals.
- Have the water resistance seals checked periodically (e.g., every 2-3 years) by an authorized service center.
Battery Replacement:
When the battery needs replacement, the second hand may start moving in two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should only be performed by an authorized Orient service center or a qualified watchmaker to maintain water resistance and prevent damage to the movement.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it's a new watch, ensure any plastic battery stopper has been removed. If the watch has stopped, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to the "Setting the Time" and "Setting the Date" sections. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
- Chronograph Not Resetting to Zero: This may require a chronograph hand reset procedure. Consult an authorized service center if the issue persists after following basic operating instructions.
- Condensation Inside Crystal: If you notice condensation under the crystal, this indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center to prevent further damage.
