Setup
1. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to the first or second position (depending on the model, usually the outermost position for time setting).
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case. Ensure it is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
2. Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted for a comfortable fit. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damage to the bracelet or clasp.

Operating Instructions
Timekeeping
Your Police watch is powered by a Japanese Quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The watch operates continuously once the time is set and the crown is fully pushed in. No winding is required for quartz movements.
Water Resistance
This watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for recreational swimming, showering, and snorkeling. It is not suitable for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown or pushers (if present) while the watch is wet or submerged.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and dirt.
- For stubborn dirt, especially on the stainless steel bracelet, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Ensure no water or soap enters the watch case. Dry thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.
Battery Replacement
The quartz movement is powered by a battery. The typical battery life is 2-3 years. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained after the case back is opened and resealed.
Water Resistance Care
- Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot shower immediately followed by cold water), as this can compromise the seals.
- Have the water resistance seals checked periodically (e.g., every 2-3 years) by a professional, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Condensation under the crystal: This indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage to the movement.
- Time is inaccurate: If the watch is consistently fast or slow, the quartz movement may require servicing. This should be handled by a professional watch repair service.
