Setup
Adjusting the Strap
To ensure a comfortable fit, you may need to adjust the length of the watch strap. The watch comes with a strap adjustment tool for this purpose. Follow the steps below or refer to the instructional video.
- Determine the number of links to be disassembled by trying the watch on your wrist.
- Locate the correct position indicated by the circular holes on the side of the links. These holes mark the removable pins.
- Open and flatten the steel band, placing it on the movable slot of the watch band disassembly tool.
- Insert the adjustment tool into the circular hole. Align it with the watch pin on the steel band.
- Rotate the handle of the disassembly tool to push out and remove the watch pin. Remove the desired number of links.
- Reconnect the metal band by reinserting the connecting pin along the pop-out direction. Ensure the pin is fully secured.

Initial Winding
Your OLEVS watch is an automatic mechanical timepiece. It is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or is running low on power, manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times while it is in the normal operating position (pushed in). This will provide sufficient power to start the watch and allow the automatic winding mechanism to take over with regular wear.
Operating Instructions
Your OLEVS watch features a multi-functional dial with various indicators. Refer to the diagram below for component identification.
Figure 2: Watch Dial Functions and Adjustment Points.
Setting Time and Date
- Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in to secure the setting.
- Setting Date: The watch features a date subdial. Use the date adjustment knob (often a recessed button on the side of the case, requiring a small tool to press) to advance the date.
- Setting Day: The day subdial can be adjusted using a separate recessed button, similar to the date adjustment.
- Setting Year/Month: The year and month window is typically adjusted via a recessed button on the left side of the watch case. Pressing this button will advance the year and month.
Automatic Movement
Your OLEVS watch is equipped with an original mechanical movement that self-winds with the natural motion of your arm. For optimal performance, wear the watch regularly. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop. Simply wind it manually as described in the "Initial Winding" section to restart it.

Luminous Features
The hands and hour markers of your watch are treated with a luminous material, allowing for readability in low-light conditions. Exposure to light will charge the luminous elements, causing them to glow in the dark.

Maintenance
Water Resistance
Your OLEVS watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (3ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing and rain exposure. It is not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any prolonged underwater activities. Do not press any buttons or pull out the crown while the watch is in contact with water, as this can compromise the water resistance.

Cleaning and Care
- Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the movement's accuracy.
- Avoid contact with chemicals such as solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, which may damage the case or strap.
Troubleshooting
Watch Not Keeping Time
- Insufficient Power: As an automatic watch, it requires sufficient wrist movement to stay wound. If the watch has stopped or is running slow, manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise 30-40 times. Wear the watch regularly to maintain its power reserve.
- Magnetic Interference: Exposure to strong magnetic fields (e.g., from speakers, refrigerators, or certain electronic devices) can affect the watch's accuracy. If you suspect magnetic interference, consult a professional watchmaker for demagnetization.
Condensation Inside the Crystal
If you notice condensation inside the watch crystal, it indicates that moisture has entered the watch. This can happen due to sudden temperature changes or if the water resistance seal has been compromised. Immediately take the watch to a qualified watch repair professional to prevent further damage to the movement.
