• Crown: Used for setting the time and date.
• Pushers (Buttons): Located above and below the crown, these control the chronograph functions.
• Main Dial: Displays the current time with Roman numerals.
• Sub-dials:
  • 60-minute counter (top left)
  • 60-second counter (bottom left)
  • 24-hour indicator / Moon phase dial (right)
• Date Window: Displays the current date (located at 4 o'clock position).
• Luminous Hands and Markers: Provide visibility in low-light conditions.

4. Setup Instructions

4.1. Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position).
2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands until the desired time is set. Ensure the 24-hour indicator (moon phase dial) is correctly aligned for AM/PM.
3. Push the crown back into position 0 (normal operating position) to start the watch.

4.2. Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (the first click).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date in the date window.
3. Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back into position 0.

Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If you need to set the date during this period, first adjust the time outside this range, set the date, and then reset the time.

4.3. Using the Chronograph

The chronograph function allows for precise timing of events.

1. Start: Press the top pusher (button A) to start the chronograph. The 60-second counter hand will begin to move.
2. Stop: Press the top pusher (button A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed on the sub-dials.
3. Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the bottom pusher (button B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.

4.4. Moon Phase Dial

The sub-dial at the 3 o'clock position functions as a 24-hour indicator, often depicted with a sun and moon motif to represent day and night. This dial synchronizes with the main time setting and does not require separate adjustment for moon phases.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Water Resistance

Your Olevs watch is designed with 3 BAR (30 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, rain, and accidental splashes. However, it is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water.

• Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to steam or hot water, as this can compromise the waterproof seals.

5.2. Luminous Display

The hands and hour markers of your watch are coated with a luminous material. To activate the glow, expose the watch to a bright light source for a few minutes. The intensity and duration of the glow will depend on the exposure time and light intensity.

6. Maintenance and Care

6.1. Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth.
• Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.

6.2. Strap Care

The watch features a synthetic leather strap. To maintain its condition:

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture.
• If the strap gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry completely before wearing.
• Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry.

6.3. Battery Replacement

Your Olevs watch is powered by a quartz movement, which uses a button cell battery. When the watch stops or the time becomes inconsistent, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the waterproof seal is maintained.

7. Troubleshooting

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

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is pushed all the way into position 0. If it is, the battery may need to be replaced.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to Section 4.1 and 4.2 for instructions on how to correctly set the time and date. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after adjustment.
• Chronograph Not Resetting to Zero: If the chronograph hands do not return to their zero positions after pressing the reset pusher, it might indicate a need for adjustment or service.
• Water Damage: If water enters the watch, immediately take it to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.

For issues not covered here or if problems persist, please contact the seller or a professional watch repair service.
