Operating Instructions

Setting the Time

1. Locate the Crown: The crown is the small knob located on the side of the watch case, typically on the right.
2. Pull Out the Crown: Gently pull the crown outwards to the first or second click position. For a 3-hand quartz movement, there is usually one pull-out position for time setting.
3. Adjust the Time: Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
4. Push In the Crown: Once the correct time is set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case. This will start the watch movement.

It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or prolonged water activities. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water to maintain water resistance.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To clean your watch, wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Storage

When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running:
  • Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
  • The battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch technician.

  • This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and seek professional service immediately.
