- Unscrew the Crown: If your watch has a screw-down crown, gently unscrew it counter-clockwise until it pops out to position 1.
- Pull Crown to Position 2: Carefully pull the crown out to the second click position (Position 2). This is typically for setting the time.

- Push Crown Back: Once the time is set, push the crown back into Position 0. If it's a screw-down crown, gently push and screw it back in clockwise to ensure water resistance.

- Pull Crown to Position 1: If your watch has a screw-down crown, unscrew it first. Then, pull the crown out to the first click position (Position 1).
- Set Date: Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Be careful not to set the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Push Crown Back: Push the crown back into Position 0 and screw it down if applicable.
4. Operating the Chronograph
The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time independently of the main time display.
4.1 Chronograph Buttons
- Button A (Top Pusher): Starts and stops the chronograph.
- Button B (Bottom Pusher): Resets the chronograph to zero.
4.2 Using the Chronograph

- Stop: Press Button A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands (seconds, minutes, and hours, depending on the movement).
- Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press Button B to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
- Lap Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for lap time measurement. Consult specific movement instructions if this feature is desired.
5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your TW Steel watch.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For water-resistant models, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down (if applicable).
- Water Resistance: The CE4104 is rated 10 ATM. This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged. Avoid hot water, steam, and sudden temperature changes, as these can compromise water seals.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F) or sudden temperature changes.
- Shocks: While durable, avoid strong impacts or shocks to the watch.
- Chemicals: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetic products, as they can damage the case, strap, or seals.
- Magnetism: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones), as they can affect the accuracy of the movement.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery needs replacing, it is recommended to have it done by an authorized TW Steel service center to ensure proper sealing and function.
