Setup: Setting Time, Date, and Day

To ensure accurate timekeeping and proper function of your watch, follow these steps:

1. Setting the Time:
   • Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost click).
   • Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. When setting the time, ensure the 24-hour subdial also reflects the correct AM/PM period.
   • Push the crown back to position 0 (normal position) to start the watch.
2. Setting the Date and Day:
   • Pull the crown out to position 1 (the first click).
   • Rotate the crown clockwise to adjust the day of the week (left subdial).
   • Rotate the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the date (date window).
   • Once the correct date and day are set, push the crown back to position 0.
   • Note: Avoid setting the date and day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanism is engaged in changing the date, and manual adjustment can cause damage. If you need to set the date during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date/day, then reset the time.

Operating Instructions: Chronograph Function

Your Timberland Tidemark watch features a chronograph (stopwatch) function. The right subdial measures chronograph minutes.

1. Starting the Chronograph:
   • Press pusher A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. The central second hand will begin to move, and the chronograph minute subdial will track elapsed minutes.
2. Stopping the Chronograph:
   • Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The central second hand and minute subdial will stop, displaying the elapsed time.
3. Resetting the Chronograph:
   • While the chronograph is stopped, press pusher B (bottom pusher) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.

Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your watch.

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.
• Water Resistance: This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). It is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is wet.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes.
• Magnets: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as they can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
• Battery Replacement: When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. This should be done by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, consider the following common solutions:

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time: Reset the time as per the "Setting the Time" instructions.
• Date/Day Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. If the date/day changes at noon instead of midnight, you need to advance the time by 12 hours.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: This may require a chronograph hand calibration. Consult a professional watch repair service.

For issues not resolved by these steps, please contact Timberland customer support or an authorized service center.
