3. Setup

Upon receiving your TSAR BOMBA automatic watch, it may not be running or may have stopped due to inactivity. Automatic watches are powered by the motion of your wrist. To initiate operation or ensure full power reserve:

1. Initial Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times while it is in the normal (pushed-in) position. This will manually wind the mainspring and provide an initial power reserve.
2. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the outermost position. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in to start the watch.
3. Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to the middle position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Be mindful of the time of day (AM/PM) to avoid the date changing at noon. Push the crown back in once the date is set.
4. Wearing the Watch: Wear the watch regularly. Your daily activities will keep the watch wound. For optimal performance, wear it for at least 8-10 hours a day.

4. Operating Instructions

Your TSAR BOMBA watch is designed for intuitive operation. Understanding its functions will ensure accurate timekeeping and optimal performance.

• Time Display: The watch displays hours, minutes, and seconds through its main hands.
• Power Reserve Indicator: Located on the dial, this indicator shows the remaining power reserve of the mainspring, typically up to 40 hours when fully wound. The "H" indicates high power, and "L" indicates low power.
• Date Display: The date window displays the current day. Adjust as per the "Setting the Date" instructions in the Setup section.
• Automatic Winding: The watch self-winds with the natural motion of your arm. Consistent wear is recommended to maintain the power reserve.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your TSAR BOMBA watch.

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For the FKM rubber strap, mild soap and water can be used. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before cleaning with water.
• Water Resistance: The watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 Bar). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposure to water.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and seals.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones) as magnetism can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.
• Storage: When not wearing the watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch winder to keep it running.
• Servicing: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic servicing (every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
