- Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown (middle button on the right side) out to the second position.
- Rotate the crown to move the hands and set the correct time. Ensure the 24-hour sub-dial (sun and moon indicator) reflects AM or PM correctly.
- Once set, push the crown back into the normal position.
- Setting the Date:
- Pull the crown out to the first position.
- Rotate the crown to adjust the date in the date window.
- Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
- Once set, push the crown back into the normal position.
2. Adjusting the Watch Band
The watch band can be adjusted by adding or removing links. A link adjustment tool is typically included with your watch. If you are unsure, it is recommended to have a professional jeweler adjust the band to prevent damage.
- Use the provided tool to push out the pins from the links you wish to remove or add.
- Ensure the pins are reinserted securely after adjustment.
Operating the Watch
1. Basic Timekeeping
Your OLEVS watch uses a reliable quartz movement for accurate time display. The main hour, minute, and second hands continuously track time once set.
2. Chronograph Function

The chronograph allows you to measure elapsed time. It consists of two pushers (buttons) on the side of the watch, typically above and below the crown, and dedicated sub-dials.
- Start/Stop: Press the top pusher to start the chronograph second hand. Press it again to stop.
- Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
The sub-dials associated with the chronograph are:
- Minute Counter: Tracks elapsed minutes (e.g., 30-minute sub-dial).
- Seconds Counter: Tracks elapsed seconds (e.g., 60-second sub-dial).
3. 24-Hour Sub-dial
The sub-dial with the sun and moon indicator displays the time in a 24-hour format, helping to distinguish between AM and PM, especially when setting the date.
4. Luminous Features

The hands and hour markers on your OLEVS watch are treated with a luminous material. After exposure to light, they will glow in the dark, providing readability in low-light conditions.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your OLEVS watch.
- Water Resistance: Your watch is 3ATM (30 meters / 98 feet) water resistant. This means it can withstand splashes, rain, and hand washing. It is not suitable for showering with hot water, swimming, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water immersion or high-pressure water jets. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and perspiration. For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and seals.
- Chemicals: Keep your watch away from chemicals such as solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, which can damage the case, band, or seals.
- Magnetic Fields: Strong magnetic fields can affect the accuracy of quartz watches. Avoid placing your watch near magnets, speakers, or other strong magnetic sources.
- Battery Replacement: The quartz movement is powered by a battery designed to last approximately 2-3 years. When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping, it's time for a battery replacement. This should be done by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your watch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
