3. Setup
3.1 Initial Inspection
Upon unboxing, inspect your watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.
3.2 Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date function.
- Push the crown back into position 0 (normal position) to start the watch.
3.3 Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to position 1 (the first click).
- Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date. Do not attempt to set the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may damage the movement.
- Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back into position 0.
4. Operating the Chronograph
Your Diesel DZ4599 watch features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time.
- Start: Press the upper pusher to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Regularly clean your watch with a soft, dry cloth. For water-resistant models, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
5.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement requiring a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may jump in irregular intervals. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
5.3 Water Resistance
Your watch is water-resistant to 10 BAR (100 meters). This rating means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for high-impact water sports or diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

6. Troubleshooting
- Watch has stopped: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If not, push it in and set the time. If the watch still does not operate, the battery may need replacement.
- Date changes at noon: This indicates the AM/PM setting was incorrect during time adjustment. Pull the crown to position 2 and advance the hour hand by 12 hours.
- Chronograph hands do not reset to zero: This may require a chronograph reset procedure. Consult a professional watch repair service if the issue persists after following operating instructions.
