2. Setup

Setting Time and Date

1. Unscrew the Crown: The crown (located at 3 o'clock) is a screw-down type for water resistance. Rotate it counter-clockwise until it springs free.
2. Pull to Position 1 (Date Setting): Gently pull the crown out to the first click. Rotate the crown clockwise to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
3. Pull to Position 2 (Time Setting): Pull the crown out to the second click. The second hand will stop. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator.
4. Push and Screw Down the Crown: Once time and date are set, push the crown back in and screw it down clockwise firmly against the case to ensure water resistance.

Adjusting the Leather Strap

The genuine leather strap is designed for comfort and durability. Adjust the buckle to find a comfortable fit on your wrist. The strap should be snug enough to prevent the watch from sliding freely, but not so tight as to restrict circulation.

3. Operating Instructions

Chronograph Function

The Hull Chronograph features a precise Meca-Quartz movement with chronograph capabilities. The chronograph is operated using the two pushers located at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock.

• Start/Stop: Press the pusher at 2 o'clock to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop the chronograph.
• Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the pusher at 4 o'clock to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.

The sub-dials typically indicate elapsed seconds, minutes, and a 24-hour time display.

Water Resistance (100m / 10 ATM)

Your Spinnaker Hull Chronograph Watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and general water activities, but it is not suitable for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any contact with water.

4. Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Allow the strap to air dry if it gets wet.

Battery Replacement

The Meca-Quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump in irregular intervals (End-of-Life indicator), it's time for a battery replacement. We recommend having the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Strap Care

Leather straps can wear over time due to sweat, moisture, and friction. To prolong its life, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and chemicals. Consider replacing the strap periodically for hygiene and aesthetic reasons.

5. Troubleshooting

Watch Not Running

• Check Battery: The most common reason for a quartz watch to stop is a depleted battery. Refer to the 'Battery Replacement' section.
• Crown Position: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down. If it's pulled out, the watch will not run.

Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero

• This can sometimes occur after a battery change or strong impact. Consult a professional watchmaker for recalibration if necessary.

Water Inside the Watch

• If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to a qualified watchmaker. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself, as this can void the warranty and cause further damage.
