3. Setup Instructions

3.1 Initial Winding

As an automatic watch, the Model 9910 is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, for the first use or after a period of inactivity, manual winding is required to initiate the movement and build up power reserve.

1. Ensure the crown (main knob on the side) is in its fully pushed-in position (Position 0).
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide sufficient power for the watch to start running.
3. Once the watch starts, wearing it regularly will keep it wound through your natural wrist movements. If worn daily for 8-10 hours, manual winding should not be necessary.

3.2 Setting Time and Date

The watch features a main crown and additional function buttons for adjusting the calendar.

1. Setting the Time:
   • Pull the main crown out to Position 2 (farthest out).
   • Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands. Move the hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM when setting the date.
   • Once the time is set, push the crown back into Position 0.
2. Setting the Date:
   • Pull the main crown out to Position 1 (middle position).
   • Turn the crown to adjust the date in the date window.
   • Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanism is engaged in changing the date, and manual adjustment can cause damage.
   • Once the date is set, push the crown back into Position 0.
3. Setting the Day of the Week:
   • Locate the small button on the left side of the watch case (often recessed).
   • Use a small, non-sharp tool (like a toothpick or SIM ejector tool) to gently press this button. Each press will advance the day of the week subdial by one day.
   • Continue pressing until the correct day is displayed.
4. Setting the Month:
   • Locate the other small button on the right side of the watch case, above the main crown.
   • Use a small, non-sharp tool to gently press this button. Each press will advance the month subdial by one month.
   • Continue pressing until the correct month is displayed.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Automatic Movement

Your OLEVS Model 9910 watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. This means it does not require a battery. The movement is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. As you wear the watch, an oscillating weight inside the watch rotates, winding the mainspring and storing energy.

• For optimal performance, wear your watch for at least 8-10 hours daily.
• If the watch stops due to lack of movement, simply manually wind it (as described in Section 3.1) or wear it for a few hours to restart the movement.

4.2 Luminous Display

The watch features a high-definition luminous coating on its hands and hour markers. This material absorbs light during the day and emits a glow in dark conditions, allowing for easy time reading at night.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

• Regularly wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
• For stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the watch's finish and seals.

5.2 Water Resistance

The OLEVS Model 9910 watch is rated for 30 meters (3ATM) water resistance. This means it is designed to withstand:

• Daily splashing
• Rain
• Short immersion in water (e.g., washing hands)

Important: This watch is not suitable for swimming, diving, showering, or any activities involving prolonged water immersion or high-pressure water exposure. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

5.3 Storage

When not wearing the watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Watch Stops Running:
  • Cause: Insufficient power reserve.
  • Solution: Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times, or wear it consistently for several hours.
• Date/Day Not Changing Correctly:
  • Cause: Incorrect setting or setting during the restricted period (9 PM - 3 AM).
  • Solution: Adjust the time outside the 9 PM - 3 AM window, then reset the date/day using the appropriate buttons/crown positions.
• Condensation Inside the Crystal:
  • Cause: Sudden temperature changes or compromised water resistance.
  • Solution: If minor, it may dissipate. If persistent or severe, seek professional watch repair immediately to prevent internal damage.
• Watch Running Too Fast/Slow:
  • Cause: Exposure to strong magnetic fields or need for regulation.
  • Solution: Keep the watch away from magnets. If the issue persists, professional regulation may be required.
