4. Operating Instructions

Your watch features a screw-down crown for enhanced water resistance. Always ensure the crown is securely screwed down when not adjusting the watch.

4.1 Setting the Time

1. Unscrew the crown by turning it counter-clockwise until it springs out to position 1.
2. Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position).
3. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
4. Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 and screw it down clockwise firmly against the case to ensure water resistance.

4.2 Using the Chronograph Function

The chronograph allows for precise measurement of elapsed time. The watch features two pushers, typically located at 2 o'clock (A) and 4 o'clock (B).

1. Start: Press pusher A to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. Stop: Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. Reset: After stopping, press pusher B to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4. Intermediate Time (Split Time): Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. Consult the specific movement manual if this feature is desired.

4.3 Using the Uni-directional Rotating Bezel

The uni-directional rotating bezel can be used to measure elapsed time up to 60 minutes. It rotates only counter-clockwise to prevent accidental increases in measured time.

1. Align the zero mark (triangle or dot) on the bezel with the minute hand at the start of the event you wish to time.
2. Read the elapsed time in minutes by observing the minute hand's position against the bezel's scale.

4.4 Water Resistance

Your watch has a water resistance rating of 200 meters (660 feet). This rating indicates that the watch is suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports. It is not suitable for scuba diving.

• Important: Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water.
• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot shower immediately followed by cold water), as this can compromise seals.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth regularly.
• For the stainless steel band, use a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove dirt, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

5.2 Battery Replacement

Your quartz watch is powered by a battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to jump in two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5.3 Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch box is ideal for storage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Watch Not Running:
  • Check if the crown is pushed in and screwed down.
  • The battery may need replacement. Contact an authorized service center.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:
  • This may require a chronograph reset procedure. Consult a watch technician or the specific movement manual for your watch.
• Condensation Under Crystal:
  • This indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center to prevent further damage.

For issues not listed here, or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact Invicta customer support or an authorized service center.
