Setting the Date

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel components, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or crystal.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
Water Resistance Care
- Ensure the crown is always pushed in completely when the watch is exposed to water.
- Do not operate the crown or push-buttons (if any) while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, such as moving from a hot sauna to cold water, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch technician.
- Date Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly and the crown is fully pushed in. If the date is set between 9 PM and 3 AM, it might not advance properly. Adjust the time outside this range, then reset the date.
- Condensation Inside Crystal: This indicates a potential breach in the water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and have the watch inspected by a professional immediately.
