3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Chronograph Function
The chronograph function allows for precise timing of events. It is operated using the pushers located on either side of the main crown.
- Start/Stop: Press the top pusher to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
3.2 Water Resistance
This watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
4. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and perspiration. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, crystal, or seals.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the movement and water resistance.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, such as those produced by speakers, refrigerators, or mobile phones, as this can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch battery runs low, the second hand may start to jump every few seconds (End-of-Life indicator). Replace the battery promptly by a qualified watch technician to prevent leakage and damage to the movement.
