Setup
1. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the second click position.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push the crown back to the normal position.
2. Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the model) to set the date.
- Push the crown back to the normal position.
- Note: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this may damage the date mechanism. If the date needs to be set during this period, first set the time outside this range, adjust the date, then reset the time.
3. Adjusting the Strap
The leather strap is designed for comfort. If adjustment is needed, consult a professional watchmaker or follow standard watch strap adjustment procedures for buckle type straps.
Operating Instructions
Using the Chronograph Function
Your LIGE watch features a precise chronograph for measuring elapsed time.
- Start/Pause: Press the upper pusher (A) to start the chronograph. Press it again to pause.
- Reset: While the chronograph is paused, press the lower pusher (B) to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
- The sub-dials will indicate elapsed seconds and minutes. The 24-hour sub-dial typically functions independently of the chronograph.
Luminous Display
Figure 3: Comparison of the watch's appearance in daylight and its luminous glow in the dark.
The hands and markers of your watch are coated with a luminous material. For optimal glow, expose the watch to bright light (natural or artificial) for a few minutes. The absorbed light energy will allow the watch to glow in low-light conditions.
Water Resistance (3ATM)
Figure 4: The watch is shown in water splashes, illustrating its 3ATM water resistance.
This watch is rated 3ATM (30 meters) water resistant. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as accidental splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering with hot water, or diving. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance of your watch. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the case and strap. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a Japanese quartz movement with a battery designed for up to 3 years of autonomy. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
General Care Tips
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields.
- Protect the watch from impacts and drops.
- Ensure the crown is always pushed in completely to maintain water resistance.
