Safety Information
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F) or sudden temperature changes.
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as they can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
- Do not attempt to open the watch case or replace the battery yourself, as this may void the warranty and damage the watch. Seek professional service.
- The watch is water resistant to 3 ATM (30 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving.
- Ensure the crown is pushed in completely after setting the time to maintain water resistance.
Setup
Setting the Time
- Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) outwards to the time-setting position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back in firmly against the watch case to secure it and ensure water resistance.
Adjusting the Strap
The LARSEN & ERIKSEN Kvadrat watch features an easy-interchangeable strap mechanism, allowing for quick adjustments or replacements without the need for special tools. The mesh strap can be adjusted by sliding the clasp along the strap to achieve the desired fit.

Operating Your Watch
Your LARSEN & ERIKSEN Kvadrat watch is designed for daily wear. Once the time is set, the Swiss Quartz movement will maintain accurate timekeeping. No further daily adjustments are typically required unless the time zone changes or the watch stops due to battery depletion.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the watch is dried thoroughly afterwards. Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance Care (3 ATM)
While your watch is water resistant to 3 ATM, it is important to avoid prolonged exposure to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet. If the watch comes into contact with saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry it immediately.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a Swiss Ronda 762 Quartz Movement. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized service center or a qualified watchmaker. This ensures proper handling and maintenance of the watch's water resistance seal.
