Setup and Initial Use

Your Invicta Bolt Chronograph Watch comes with a pre-installed CR2032 battery. Follow these steps for initial setup.

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the watch from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
2. Crown Position: The watch crown (the knob on the side) typically has multiple positions.
   • Position 0 (Pushed In): Normal operating position.
   • Position 1 (Pulled Out One Click): Used for setting the date.
   • Position 2 (Pulled Out Two Clicks): Used for setting the time.
3. Setting the Time:
   1. Pull the crown out to Position 2.
   2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
   3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into Position 0.
4. Setting the Date:
   1. Pull the crown out to Position 1.
   2. Turn the crown to adjust the date display. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.

Operating the Chronograph Function

The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time independently of the main time display.

1. Starting the Chronograph: Press the upper pusher (button A) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. Stopping the Chronograph: Press the upper pusher (button A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. Resetting the Chronograph: After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher (button B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4. Split Time Function (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. Consult the specific movement instructions if your model supports this.

Note: Avoid operating the chronograph pushers while the watch is submerged in water to prevent water ingress.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Water Resistance: This watch is water resistant to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure. Do not operate pushers or crown while submerged.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect its accuracy and seals.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields, such as those produced by speakers, refrigerators, or mobile phones, as they can affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
• Battery Replacement: The watch uses one CR2032 battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start skipping seconds or stop entirely. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
• Strap Care: The stainless steel band should be cleaned periodically. For rubber or silicone straps, wash with mild soap and water.
