3. Operating Your Watch

3.1 Water Resistance

This watch is designed to be water-resistant. It is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. However, it is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Avoid pressing buttons or operating the crown while the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.

3.2 Wearing the Watch

Adjust the brown leather strap to a comfortable fit on your wrist using the traditional buckle. The watch should be snug enough not to slide freely, but not so tight as to restrict circulation.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• For the leather strap, avoid harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause damage or discoloration.

4.2 Battery Replacement

This watch uses a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the watch stops running, the battery will need to be replaced. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained and to prevent damage to the internal components.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Watch Not Running

• Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to the normal operating position.
• If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement. Refer to section 4.2 for battery replacement information.

5.2 Incorrect Day/Date Display

• Verify that the time is set correctly, especially ensuring the AM/PM is accurate for the day/date change.
• The day/date display is fixed and may not be available in multiple languages. If the day appears in a language other than English, this is a characteristic of the watch and cannot be changed.
