Operating Instructions
Using the Chronograph Function
Your watch is equipped with a chronograph (stopwatch) function.
- Start: Press the upper pusher (P) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the upper pusher (P) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher (P) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
Note: Do not operate the pushers or crown while the watch is submerged in water to maintain water resistance.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the rubber strap, you can use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance
Your watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may decrease over time due to wear and tear or accidental impact. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically by an authorized service center.
Battery Replacement
This watch is powered by a lithium metal battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may jump in irregular intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Time inaccuracy: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. Extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields can affect accuracy. If the issue persists, professional inspection is recommended.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may indicate a need for chronograph hand calibration. Consult a professional watch technician.
