Setup

Initial Winding

Your Gevril automatic watch is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for an extended period, it requires manual winding to initiate operation and build up its power reserve.

1. Ensure the crown is in its fully pushed-in position (Position 1).
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide sufficient power for the watch to start running.
3. Once started, wearing the watch regularly will keep it wound.

Setting Time and Date

This image shows the side profile of the Gevril Canal St Automatic Watch, focusing on the textured crown used for winding and setting the watch.

1. Setting the Date: Gently pull the crown out to Position 2. Turn the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) until the correct date is displayed. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
2. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out further to Position 3. The second hand will stop. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time. To ensure accuracy, synchronize with a reliable time source.
3. Finalizing: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into Position 1. For water resistance, ensure the screw-down crown is securely tightened.

Operating Your Automatic Watch

Your Gevril Canal St watch features a Swiss automatic movement, meaning it is self-winding. The movement of your wrist powers the watch, eliminating the need for a battery. When fully wound, the watch has a power reserve that allows it to continue running for a period even when not worn.

For optimal performance, wear your watch daily. If the watch is not worn for several days, it may stop. In this case, manually wind it as described in the 'Initial Winding' section before setting the time and date.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and sapphire crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the crown is fully closed to prevent water ingress.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.

Water Resistance

Your Gevril Canal St watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or prolonged water immersion. Always ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before any contact with water.

• Do not operate the crown or pushers (if applicable) while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, which can affect water resistance seals.

Strap Care

The genuine Italian handmade leather strap requires care to maintain its quality:

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, or moisture.
• Clean the strap with a soft, dry cloth. For minor stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
• Leather straps are subject to wear and tear and may need replacement over time.
