Setup
1. Setting the Time and Date
- Unscrew the Crown: The watch features a push/pull crown. Gently unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it is released from its locked position.
- Set the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Set the Time: Pull the crown out to the second click position. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure accuracy, synchronize with a reliable time source.
- Secure the Crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into the watch case and screw it clockwise until it is firmly secured. This ensures the watch's water resistance.

Operating the Watch
Timekeeping
Your Invicta Pro Diver Model 26970 is equipped with a reliable Japanese quartz movement (PC32 Caliber), ensuring precise timekeeping. The watch displays hours, minutes, and seconds with luminous hands and hour markers for visibility in low light conditions.
Date Display
The watch features a magnified date window at the 3 o'clock position, providing an easily visible date display. The date automatically advances every 24 hours.
Uni-directional Bezel
The uni-directional stainless steel bezel with a black top ring can be rotated counter-clockwise. This feature is useful for tracking elapsed time, such as dive times or other timed activities. Align the bezel's zero marker with the minute hand at the start of an activity, then read the elapsed time from the bezel as the minute hand progresses.

Maintenance
Water Resistance
The Invicta Pro Diver Model 26970 is water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). This makes it suitable for professional marine activity, surface water sports, and diving. Ensure the crown is always fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

Crystal Care
The watch features a Flame Fusion crystal, which offers enhanced scratch resistance and durability. To maintain its clarity, clean the crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement
The quartz movement is powered by an SR626SW battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance seal is maintained.
Cleaning
Regularly clean your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the stainless steel case and bracelet, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by thorough rinsing with fresh water and drying. Ensure the crown is securely closed before cleaning with water.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is pushed in and screwed down. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Date Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly past midnight. If the date is stuck, try manually advancing it using the crown. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM.
- Water Inside Watch: If moisture appears inside the watch, immediately take it to a service center. This indicates a compromised water resistance seal.
