This image displays the watch face, highlighting the main timekeeping hands, the crown (right side, for setting time), two pushers (buttons A and B, above and below the crown, for chronograph control), and the three sub-dials: a minute counter (left), a small second hand (bottom), and a 24-hour indicator (right).

• Crown: Used for setting the time and adjusting chronograph hands.
• Pusher A (Top): Controls the start and stop functions of the chronograph.
• Pusher B (Bottom): Controls the reset function of the chronograph.
• Main Hands: Indicate the current hour and minute.
• Chronograph Second Hand: The long, thin hand that measures elapsed seconds when the chronograph is active.
• Minute Sub-dial (MIN.): Measures elapsed minutes during chronograph operation.
• Second Sub-dial (SEC.): Functions as the watch's continuous small second hand.
• 24-Hour Sub-dial (HOUR 12/24): Indicates the time in a 24-hour format, synchronized with the main hour hand.

Setup

1. Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to the second click position. The small second hand (SEC. sub-dial) will stop.
2. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Ensure the 24-hour sub-dial also reflects the correct AM/PM period.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back to the normal position. The small second hand will resume movement.

2. Initial Chronograph Hand Position Adjustment (Zeroing)

If the chronograph hands (chronograph second, minute, or 24-hour sub-dial) are not aligned to their zero positions after a battery change or impact, they can be adjusted.

1. Pull the crown out to the second click position.
2. Press Pusher A (top button) repeatedly to adjust the chronograph second hand to the 12 o'clock (zero) position.
3. Press Pusher B (bottom button) repeatedly to adjust the chronograph minute hand and the 24-hour sub-dial hand to their respective zero positions.
4. Once all chronograph hands are correctly reset to zero, push the crown back to the normal position.

Operating the Chronograph

1. Standard Measurement

1. To start the chronograph, press Pusher A. The chronograph second hand will begin to move, and the minute sub-dial will track elapsed minutes.
2. To stop the chronograph, press Pusher A again. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph second and minute hands.
3. To reset the chronograph hands to zero, press Pusher B while the chronograph is stopped.

Water Resistance

Your Lorus RT367JX9 watch is water-resistant up to 10 BAR (100 meters / 330 feet). This rating indicates suitability for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. It is not intended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.

Important Safety Information:

• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged in water. This can compromise the water resistance and allow moisture to enter the watch.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can damage the seals and affect water resistance.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance and hygiene of your watch:

• Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and fingerprints.
• For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals, which can cause deterioration or discoloration. Clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.

2. Battery Replacement

Your Lorus RT367JX9 watch is powered by a reliable quartz movement with a battery. When the small second hand (SEC. sub-dial) begins to move in two-second intervals, it indicates that the battery is low and requires replacement.

Recommendation:

Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician. This ensures the correct battery type is used, the watch is properly re-sealed, and its water resistance is maintained.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Lorus RT367JX9 watch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Watch Not Running:

  Ensure the crown is pushed in completely to the normal position. If the watch still does not run, the battery may be depleted and require replacement.

• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:

  Perform the initial chronograph hand position adjustment (zeroing) procedure as described in the "Setup" section.
• Moisture or Condensation Inside the Watch:

  If moisture or condensation appears inside the watch crystal, have it inspected immediately by a qualified technician. This indicates a breach in water resistance and can lead to internal damage if not addressed promptly.
