Setup

Initial Winding

As an automatic watch, it is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or the power reserve is low, it may require initial manual winding:

1. Unscrew the crown (located at 8 o'clock) by turning it counter-clockwise until it springs out to the first position.
2. Gently turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide enough power reserve for the watch to start running.
3. Push the crown back in and screw it down tightly clockwise to ensure water resistance.

Setting Time and Date

1. Unscrew the crown and pull it out to the second click position. The second hand will stop.
2. Turn the crown to set the time. To avoid confusion between AM and PM, advance the hour hand past 12 o'clock. If the date changes, it is midnight.
3. Push the crown back in to the first click position.
4. Turn the crown to set the date and day. Turn clockwise for date, counter-clockwise for day. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 4 AM, as this can damage the movement.
5. Pull the crown out to the second click position again.
6. When the second hand reaches the 12 o'clock position, push the crown back in to the normal position and screw it down tightly.

Operating the Watch

Timekeeping

Once set, the watch will continue to operate as long as it is worn regularly or kept on a watch winder. Daily wear for approximately 8-10 hours should provide sufficient power reserve.

Using the Uni-directional Rotating Bezel

The bezel rotates in one direction (counter-clockwise) to prevent accidental changes that would indicate a shorter dive time. It is used to measure elapsed time, particularly for diving:

1. Before starting an activity, align the triangle marker on the bezel with the minute hand.
2. As time passes, the minute hand will move, indicating the elapsed time against the bezel's scale.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Avoid using chemical cleaners.

Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). To maintain water resistance:

• Always ensure the crown is screwed down tightly before exposing the watch to water.
• Do not operate the crown or pushers (if any) while the watch is submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, such as moving from a hot sauna to cold water, as this can affect seals.
• Have the water resistance seals checked periodically (e.g., every 2-3 years) by an authorized service center.

Storage

When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. If storing for an extended period, consider a watch winder to keep the movement running and lubricated.
