3.1 Initial Time Setting
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to position 2.
- Set the time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push in the crown: Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Using the Chronograph Function
The chronograph allows you to measure elapsed time independently of the main time display.
- Start: Press the upper pusher (button A) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop/Pause: Press the upper pusher (button A) again to stop or pause the chronograph.
- Resume: If paused, press the upper pusher (button A) again to resume timing.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the lower pusher (button B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4.2 Reading the Chronograph Subdials
- Small Second Hand: Typically located at the 6 o'clock or 9 o'clock position, this subdial displays the continuous running seconds of the main time.
- Chronograph Minute Counter: This subdial (e.g., at 12 o'clock or 3 o'clock) counts the minutes elapsed during chronograph operation.
- Chronograph Hour Counter (if applicable): Some chronographs include an hour counter subdial.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the strap, follow specific cleaning instructions based on its material (e.g., silicone, leather, textile).
- Water Resistance: While your watch may be water-resistant, avoid exposing it to hot water, steam, or sudden temperature changes, which can compromise seals. Do not operate pushers or crown when the watch is wet.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand moves erratically (indicating low battery), have the battery replaced by an authorized service center to ensure proper sealing and function.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and direct impacts.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
