Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your OLEVS Men's Gold Skeleton Automatic Mechanical Watch. Please read this guide thoroughly to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your timepiece.
Your OLEVS watch features a sophisticated automatic mechanical movement, designed to self-wind with the natural motion of your wrist. It also supports manual winding for initial setup or after periods of inactivity.

Setup
1. Initial Inspection
Upon unboxing, carefully inspect your watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and bracelet.
2. Winding the Watch
As an automatic mechanical watch, it gains power from wrist movement. However, for initial use or after the watch has stopped, manual winding is recommended:
- Ensure the crown is in position 1 (fully pushed in).
- Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide sufficient power reserve to start the watch.
- Once worn, the automatic rotor will continue to wind the watch with your natural arm movements.
3. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position).
- Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (fully pushed in) to secure the setting and ensure water resistance.
4. Bracelet Adjustment
The watch bracelet can be adjusted to fit your wrist. A link adjustment tool is typically included with the watch. If you are unsure how to adjust the links, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional jeweler to avoid damage.

Operating the Watch
Automatic Movement Functionality
The watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. This means it does not require a battery. The movement of your wrist causes an internal rotor to spin, winding the mainspring and storing energy. When fully wound, the watch typically has a power reserve that allows it to run for approximately 24-48 hours when not worn. If the watch stops, simply manually wind it or wear it for a few hours to restart the movement.
Luminous Display
The watch features luminous hands and markers, allowing for readability in low-light conditions. Exposure to light will charge the luminous material, causing it to glow in the dark.

Maintenance
Water Resistance
Your OLEVS watch is rated for 30 meters (3ATM) of water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, rain, and splashes. It can withstand brief immersion in cold water, such as swimming in a pool or taking a cold shower. However, it is not suitable for diving, hot water baths, or prolonged underwater activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.

Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel bracelets, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Storage
When not wearing your watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protection.
Avoidance
- Extreme Temperatures: Avoid exposing the watch to sudden temperature changes or prolonged periods of extreme heat or cold.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices) as these can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.
- Chemicals: Avoid contact with perfumes, solvents, detergents, and other chemicals that may damage the watch's seals, case, or bracelet.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Ensure the watch is sufficiently wound. Manually wind the crown 30-40 times. If the watch still does not start, gently shake it side-to-side for a few seconds.
- Time inaccuracy: Mechanical watches may have slight variations in accuracy. If the watch is consistently running too fast or too slow beyond acceptable limits, ensure it is fully wound and has not been exposed to strong magnetic fields.
- Water ingress: If you notice moisture inside the watch crystal, immediately pull out the crown to stop the movement and contact customer support. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
- Bracelet discomfort: If the bracelet feels too tight or too loose, refer to the bracelet adjustment section or consult a professional.
