Operating the Chronograph Sub-dials

Your watch features three sub-dials that work in conjunction with the chronograph function:

• 60-Second Sub-dial: Tracks elapsed seconds when the chronograph is active.
• 60-Minute Sub-dial: Tracks elapsed minutes when the chronograph is active.
• 24-Hour Sub-dial: Displays the current time in a 24-hour format, synchronized with the main time display.

Maintenance

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant up to 10 ATM (100 meters / 300 feet). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is important to:

• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged in water.
• Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the water seals.

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel bracelets, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement

Your quartz watch is powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed into position 0. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect time/date: Refer to the 'Setting the Time' and 'Setting the Date' sections to correctly adjust.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may indicate a need for chronograph hand calibration, which typically requires professional service.
