Setup

1. Initial Winding

Your Gevril Canal St Automatic Watch is powered by a Swiss automatic movement. It does not require a battery. For initial use or after a period of inactivity, manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times while it is in the normal (pushed-in) position. This builds up the power reserve.

2. Setting the Time and Date

1. Unscrew the Crown: The watch features a screw-down crown for enhanced water resistance. Gently unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it springs free.
2. Set the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
3. Set the Time: Pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will stop. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure accurate time setting, set the time a few minutes ahead, then turn the crown backward to the correct time. Push the crown back to the first click position.
4. Secure the Crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into the normal position and screw it down clockwise firmly against the case to maintain water resistance.

Operating Your Watch

Once set, your automatic watch will continue to run as long as it is worn regularly. The natural motion of your wrist powers the watch. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it will stop and require manual winding and time setting again.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or prolonged water immersion. Ensure the crown is always fully screwed down before any contact with water.

• 50 Meters (5 ATM): Suitable for showering, hand washing, and light rain exposure. Not suitable for swimming or diving.
• Important: Do not operate the crown or pushers (if present) while the watch is wet or submerged in water.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.

Service

Automatic watches require periodic servicing to ensure optimal performance and accuracy. It is recommended to have your watch serviced by an authorized Gevril service center every 3-5 years. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: If the watch has stopped, it likely needs to be wound. Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown 20-30 times clockwise in the normal position. If it still does not run after winding and gentle shaking, contact customer support.
• Time Inaccurate: Automatic watches can gain or lose a few seconds per day. Significant inaccuracy may indicate a need for servicing. Ensure the watch is fully wound.
• Date Not Changing: Ensure the crown is pulled out to the first click position for date adjustment. If the date mechanism is stuck, avoid forcing it and consult a service professional. Remember to avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM.
• Condensation Under Crystal: If you notice moisture or condensation under the crystal, this indicates a breach in water resistance. Immediately contact customer support or an authorized service center. Do not attempt to dry it yourself.
