3. Setup Instructions

3.1. Setting the Time

1. Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) out to the second click position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hands and set the desired time. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM when setting the time, especially if setting the date.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case.

3.2. Setting the Day and Date

1. Pull the crown out to the first click position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date.
3. Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day.
4. Avoid setting the date and day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanism is engaged in changing the date, and manual adjustment can cause damage. If adjustment is needed during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date/day, then reset the time.
5. Once the day and date are set, push the crown back into its original position.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the time, day, and date are set, your Maxima watch will operate continuously. The quartz movement ensures high accuracy. The second hand will move in distinct one-second intervals.

4.1. Water Resistance

Your watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as accidental splashes, rain, or hand washing. It is not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Cleaning Your Watch

• Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and smudges.
• For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they may damage the watch's finish.

5.2. Leather Strap Care

• Avoid prolonged exposure of the leather strap to water, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures, as this can cause drying, cracking, or discoloration.
• Clean the leather strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely.
• Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the strap supple and prevent cracking.

5.3. Battery Replacement

Your watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and damage the watch.

5.4. Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.

  • Reset the time as per Section 3.1.
