3. Setup and Initial Operation

3.1 Initial Winding

As an automatic mechanical watch, your PD1653 is powered by the movement of your wrist. However, for the first use or after a period of inactivity, manual winding is required to build up the power reserve.

1. Ensure the crown (3) is fully pushed in and screwed down.
2. Unscrew the crown (3) by turning it counter-clockwise until it springs out slightly.
3. Rotate the crown (3) clockwise 20-25 times. This will manually wind the mainspring and provide initial power to the movement.
4. Push the crown back in and screw it down clockwise to ensure water resistance.

3.2 Setting Time, Day, and Date

The watch features sub-dials for the day of the week and calendar date, controlled by specific buttons and the crown.

• Setting the Time:
  1. Unscrew the crown (3) and pull it out to the outermost position.
  2. Turn the crown (3) to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
  3. Once set, push the crown back in and screw it down clockwise.
• Setting the Day of the Week (Sub-dial at 9 o'clock):
  1. The button at the top right of the watch case controls the day of the week sub-dial (1).
  2. Press this button repeatedly to advance the day of the week until the correct day is displayed.
• Setting the Calendar Date (Sub-dial at 3 o'clock):
  1. The button at the bottom right of the watch case controls the calendar date sub-dial (2).
  2. Press this button repeatedly to advance the date until the correct date is displayed.

4. Operating Your Automatic Watch

4.1 Automatic Winding Mechanism

Your Pagani Design PD1653 watch is equipped with an automatic movement. This means that the watch is wound by the natural motion of your wrist. An oscillating weight inside the watch turns with your movements, winding the mainspring and storing energy. When fully wound, the watch typically has a power reserve of approximately 36-40 hours.

If the watch stops due to lack of movement, simply wear it for a few hours or manually wind it as described in Section 3.1 to restart it.

4.2 Water Resistance

The watch is rated for 100 meters (10 ATM) of water resistance. This means it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as during hand washing or light swimming. However, it is not suitable for showering, bathing, sauna, or diving.

Important: Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down tightly before any contact with water to maintain water resistance.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Pagani Design watch.

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case, crystal, and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the movement and water resistance.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices), as magnetism can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.
• Water Resistance Check: If the watch is frequently exposed to water, it is recommended to have the water resistance seals checked periodically by a qualified watchmaker.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Watch Not Running or Losing Time:
  • Ensure the watch is sufficiently wound. If it has been stationary, manually wind it 20-25 turns (refer to Section 3.1).
  • Wear the watch regularly for several hours to allow the automatic movement to build up power reserve.
  • Check if the watch has been exposed to strong magnetic fields. If so, demagnetization by a professional may be required.
• Condensation Inside the Crystal:
  • Small amounts of condensation that disappear quickly are usually normal due to temperature changes.
  • If condensation persists or appears as large droplets, it indicates a breach in water resistance. Stop using the watch immediately and seek professional service to prevent further damage to the movement.
• Buttons/Crown Not Functioning:
  • Ensure the crown is unscrewed and pulled out to the correct position for adjustment.
  • Do not force buttons or the crown. If they feel stuck, do not attempt to operate them forcefully.
