Setup Instructions

1. Initial Winding

Your automatic watch is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or is running low on power, it needs to be manually wound to initiate the movement.

1. Locate the crown on the right side of the watch case.
2. Ensure the crown is in its normal, pushed-in position (position 0).
3. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
4. Once the watch starts ticking, wearing it regularly will keep it wound.

2. Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (the outermost position).
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal, pushed-in position (position 0).

3. Adjusting the Silicone Strap

The silicone strap features a buckle clasp for secure and comfortable wear.

1. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle.
2. Insert the pin into the desired hole for a snug fit on your wrist.
3. Ensure the strap is not too tight to avoid discomfort or too loose to prevent the watch from moving excessively.

Operating Your Automatic Watch

Automatic Movement

This watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. It does not require a battery. The movement is powered by the natural motion of your arm and wrist. As you wear the watch, an oscillating weight inside the movement rotates, winding the mainspring and storing energy.

• Power Reserve: A fully wound automatic watch typically has a power reserve of 36-40 hours. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it will stop.
• Restarting: To restart a stopped watch, manually wind it as described in the "Initial Winding" section, then set the time.
• Daily Wear: Wearing the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day is generally sufficient to keep it fully wound.

Water Resistance (50 Meters / 5 ATM)

Your watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands.

• Do NOT operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Do NOT use for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports.
• Avoid exposure to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise the water seals.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

• Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• For the silicone strap, you can use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap.

Storage

• When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Keep it away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices), which can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.

Service Intervals

Like any precision mechanical instrument, your automatic watch benefits from periodic servicing. It is recommended to have your watch inspected and serviced by an authorized service center every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and water resistance.
