Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Luminox G-Collection watch. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and care of your timepiece. Please read it carefully to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your watch.
Initial Setup
Setting the Time
To set the time:
- Unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it pops out to position 1.
- Pull the crown gently to position 2.
- Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date change.
- Push the crown back to position 1 and screw it clockwise until it is securely tightened to maintain water resistance.
Setting the Date
To set the date:
- Unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it pops out to position 1.
- Pull the crown gently to position 1.5 (halfway between position 1 and 2).
- 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. If the current time falls within this window, adjust the time outside this range first, then set the date, and finally reset the time.
- Push the crown back to position 1 and screw it clockwise until it is securely tightened to maintain water resistance.
Operation
Water Resistance
Your Luminox G-Collection watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving.
Important: Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers (if any) while the watch is wet or submerged.
Unidirectional Rotating Bezel
The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel can be rotated counter-clockwise and is typically used to measure elapsed time, such as dive time.
- Align the bezel's zero marker with the minute hand at the start of an activity.
- The minute hand will then indicate the elapsed time on the bezel's scale.
The unidirectional design prevents accidental clockwise rotation, which could overestimate elapsed time.
Illumination Technology
Your Luminox watch incorporates two illumination technologies for optimal visibility in low-light conditions:
Luminox Light Technology (LLT)
LLT is a self-powered illumination system using tiny gas lights. It provides constant glow for up to 25 years without requiring external light exposure or battery power for illumination. Orange and green LLT elements are found on the dial ring and hands.
Super-LumiNova (SLN)
SLN is a light-powered luminous pigment. It charges by absorbing light and glows in the dark for up to one hour after exposure to sufficient light. Green SLN is applied to the bezel.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean your watch, use a soft, damp cloth. For metal bracelets, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used, ensuring to rinse thoroughly. Always ensure the crown is screwed down before cleaning with water.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a lithium-ion battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized Luminox service center or a qualified watchmaker. This ensures proper sealing and maintains water resistance.
Storage
Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Watch Not Running
If the watch stops running, the battery may need replacement. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.
Date Not Changing
Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. If the date is not changing at midnight, the watch might be set to the wrong 12-hour cycle. Adjust the time forward by 12 hours.
Water Inside the Watch
If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. This indicates a breach in water resistance.
