Setup
Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown (located on the right side of the watch case) out to position 2.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push the crown back into position 1 to start the watch.
Setting the GMT (Second Time Zone):
The watch features a GMT function, typically indicated by a separate hand or sub-dial. Refer to the specific markings on your watch for precise adjustment.
- Identify the GMT crown or pusher (if separate from the main crown).
- Adjust the GMT hand to display the second time zone. This often involves pulling the crown to a specific position or using a dedicated pusher.
- Consult the watch's dial for 24-hour markings to accurately set the GMT time.
Operating the Chronograph
The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time. The Drum Roller display provides a unique visual for this feature.
- Start: Press the upper pusher (button) to start the chronograph. The drum rollers will begin to rotate, indicating elapsed seconds and minutes.
- Stop: Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed on the drum rollers.
- Reset: Press the lower pusher to reset the chronograph to zero. The drum rollers will return to their initial position.
Note: Avoid operating the pushers underwater to maintain water resistance.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and dirt.
- For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry immediately.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish and materials.
Water Resistance (5 ATM / 50 meters):
- Your watch is resistant to splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water (e.g., washing hands).
- It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water, as steam and pressure changes can compromise the seals.
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
Battery Replacement:
When the watch stops or the timekeeping becomes erratic, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Storage:
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
