Setup
1. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to the outermost position.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position to start the watch.
2. Setting the Date
Your watch features a date window. To set the date:
- Pull the crown out to the middle position.
- Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the date.

Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
3. Adjusting the Expansion Band
The watch comes with a stainless steel expansion band designed for a comfortable fit. This type of band typically adjusts to your wrist size without manual links. If the fit is too loose or too tight, professional adjustment by a jeweler may be required to add or remove links.
