Setting the Date:

Operating the Watch
Your Zeppelin LZ14 Marine Series Watch is powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement. It requires one Lithium Metal battery (included) for operation.
Water Resistance:
The watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters), which means it is suitable for everyday use, accidental splashes, rain, and short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving or prolonged submersion. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and dirt. For the stainless steel case, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to solvents, detergents, perfumes, or other chemical substances, as they may damage the case, strap, or internal components.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F) or sudden temperature changes.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery is depleted, the watch may stop or the second hand may jump in 2-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Replace the battery promptly by a qualified watchmaker to prevent leakage and damage to the movement.
- Strap Care: The crocodile-look leather strap should be kept dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, and direct sunlight to preserve its quality and appearance.
