2. Adjust the date (if applicable): In position 2, turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the correct date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
3. Adjust the time: In position 3, turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date function (the date changes at midnight).
4. Push in the crown: Once set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch and ensure water resistance.

2.2 Adjusting the Bracelet

The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing or adding links to achieve a comfortable fit. This procedure typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a qualified watchmaker or jeweler to avoid damaging the bracelet or clasp.

2. Stop: Press the upper pusher (button A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.

4. Maintenance and Care

4.1 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

4.2 Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant up to 10 ATM (100 meters). This rating means it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and showering. However, it is not recommended for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may decrease over time due to wear and tear or impacts. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically by an authorized service center.

4.3 Battery Replacement

As a quartz watch, it is powered by a battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to jump every few seconds (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should only be performed by an authorized service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

4.4 Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.

5. Troubleshooting

• Watch not running:
  • Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
  • The battery may need replacement. Contact an authorized service center.
• Time is incorrect:
  • Reset the time as described in Section 2.1.
  • If the issue persists, the movement may require inspection by a professional.
• Chronograph hands do not reset to zero:
  • This may indicate a need for calibration or service. Consult an authorized service center.
