Key Components:

  1. Crown: Used for setting time and date.
  2. Pushers (A & B): Used for operating the chronograph functions.
  3. Hour Hand: Indicates the hour.
  4. Minute Hand: Indicates the minute.
  5. Second Hand: Main second hand for timekeeping.
  6. Chronograph Second Hand: Large second hand for chronograph measurement.
  7. Chronograph Minute Sub-dial: Measures elapsed minutes for chronograph.
  8. 24-Hour Sub-dial: Displays time in a 24-hour format (not linked to chronograph).
  9. Date Window: Displays the current date.
  10. Deployment Clasp: Secure fastening mechanism for the watch band.

Setup

1. Setting the Time

  1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (farthest out). The second hand will stop.
  2. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired time is set. Ensure the 24-hour sub-dial also reflects the correct AM/PM.
  3. Push the crown back into position 0 (normal position). The second hand will resume movement.

2. Setting the Date

  1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (middle position).
  2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) until the correct date appears in the date window.
  3. Push the crown back into position 0.
  4. Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If you need to set the date during this period, first set the time outside this range, adjust the date, then reset the time.

3. Adjusting the Mesh Band with Deployment Clasp

The mesh band features a deployment clasp that can be adjusted for wrist size. This typically involves moving a sliding buckle on the mesh band.

  1. Locate the small lever or clasp on the inside of the deployment buckle.
  2. Using a small flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool, gently lift the lever to unlock the buckle.
  3. Slide the buckle along the mesh band to the desired position for a comfortable fit.
  4. Press the lever back down firmly to lock the buckle in place. Ensure it is securely fastened before wearing.

Operating

1. Chronograph Functions

The chronograph allows for precise measurement of elapsed time.

  • Starting the Chronograph: Press pusher A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
  • Stopping the Chronograph: Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph second and minute hands.
  • Resetting the Chronograph: After stopping, press pusher B (bottom pusher) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
  • Split Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. If your model supports this, press pusher B while the chronograph is running to temporarily stop the chronograph hands for reading, while the internal timing continues. Press B again to catch up the hands to the current elapsed time. Press A to stop, then B to reset.

Note: Do not operate the chronograph pushers while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise water resistance.

2. Water Resistance

Your L LAVAREDO L6638 watch is designed with a certain level of water resistance. Refer to the watch case back or specifications section for the exact rating (e.g., 3ATM, 5ATM, 10ATM).

  • 3 ATM (30 meters / 100 feet): Suitable for daily use, splash/rain resistant. Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkeling, or water-related work.
  • 5 ATM (50 meters / 165 feet): Suitable for showering, bathing, and shallow swimming. Not suitable for diving or snorkeling.
  • 10 ATM (100 meters / 330 feet): Suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports. Not suitable for diving.

Important Precautions:

  • Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged in water.
  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
  • Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot shower immediately followed by cold water), as this can affect seals.
  • Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may eventually be affected by the aging of gaskets or accidental shocks to the crown or case.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Your Watch

  • Wipe the watch case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and perspiration.
  • For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • If your watch is water-resistant, you can rinse it gently with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, then dry it thoroughly.

2. Battery Replacement

Your quartz watch is powered by a battery. When the battery is low, the second hand may start to move in two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator) or stop completely.

  • Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
  • Attempting to replace the battery yourself may damage the watch and void the warranty.

3. Storage

  • When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.
  • Avoid placing the watch near speakers, refrigerators, or other devices that generate strong magnetic fields, as this can affect timekeeping accuracy.
