Setup

Setting the Time and Date

1. Pull the crown out to position 2: This is the outermost position. The second hand will stop.
2. Rotate the crown: Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date changes at midnight.
3. Push the crown back to position 1: This is the middle position.
4. Rotate the crown: Turn the crown to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
5. Push the crown back to position 0: This is the normal operating position. The second hand will resume movement.

Adjusting the Bracelet

The watch comes with a bracelet adjustment tool. To adjust the length, locate the arrows on the inside of the links. Use the tool to push out the pins in the direction of the arrows. Remove or add links as needed, then reinsert the pins in the opposite direction of the arrows to secure the bracelet.

Operating the Chronograph

The chronograph function allows for precise measurement of elapsed time.

• Start/Stop: Press the upper right button (A) to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
• Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the lower right button (B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.

The three sub-dials typically indicate:

• Small second hand (for regular timekeeping)
• Chronograph minute counter
• Chronograph hour counter (if applicable) or 24-hour indicator

If the chronograph hands do not reset to zero, refer to the troubleshooting section.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the stainless steel bracelet and case, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This rating is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for diving or hot baths/saunas, as extreme temperature changes and steam can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to position 0 before exposing the watch to water.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a quartz movement. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start skipping seconds (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in to position 0. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This can sometimes be corrected by performing a chronograph reset procedure. If the issue persists, a professional adjustment may be required.
• Date not changing: Ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM. Avoid setting the date manually between 9 PM and 3 AM.
• Condensation inside the crystal: This indicates a breach in water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and seek professional service immediately to prevent damage to the movement.
