2. Setup and Initial Use

Before wearing your OLEVS automatic watch, it requires initial setup to ensure accurate timekeeping.

2.1. Winding the Watch

As an automatic mechanical watch, it is powered by the movement of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for a period, it may need to be manually wound:

1. Ensure the crown is in position 1 (fully pushed in).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
3. Once worn, the watch will continue to self-wind with your natural arm movements.

2.2. Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to position 3 (farthest out).
2. Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Push the crown back to position 1 to engage the movement and start the watch.

2.3. Setting the Date and Day of the Week

The watch features a calendar window for the date and a sub-dial for the day of the week.

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (middle position).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise to adjust the date.
3. Rotate the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day of the week.
4. Once set, push the crown back to position 1.

Important: Avoid setting the date or day of the week between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. If adjustment is needed during this period, first set the time outside this range, adjust the date/day, then reset the time.

3. Operation

3.1. Automatic Movement

The OLEVS Model 9965 features an original imported automatic mechanical movement with 21 rubies. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 times per hour and has a power reserve of up to 45 hours. This means the watch does not require a battery; it is powered by the kinetic energy generated by your wrist's motion. Regular wear keeps the watch wound.

3.2. Luminous Function

The watch hands and hour markers are treated with a luminous material, allowing you to read the time in low-light conditions. Exposure to light (natural or artificial) charges the luminous elements.

3.3. Water Resistance

The OLEVS Model 9965 is rated for 3ATM (30 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily waterproof needs such as hand washing, rain, or accidental splashes. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, showering with hot water, or any activities involving prolonged water immersion or high-pressure water exposure.

4. Maintenance

4.1. Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stainless steel straps, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.

4.2. Strap Adjustment

The stainless steel strap can be adjusted to fit your wrist. A strap adjustment tool is typically provided with the watch. If you require additional links or assistance, please contact customer support.

4.3. Water Resistance Guidelines

• Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
• Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, such as moving from a hot shower to cold water, as this can compromise the water-resistant seals.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1. Watch Not Running

• Insufficient Winding: If the watch has not been worn for an extended period, it may have run out of power reserve. Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 30-40 times (with the crown fully pushed in).
• Lack of Movement: Automatic watches require regular wrist movement to stay wound. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, consider manually winding the watch daily or using a watch winder.

5.2. Incorrect Timekeeping

• Magnetic Interference: Exposure to strong magnetic fields (e.g., from speakers, refrigerators, or certain electronic devices) can affect the watch's accuracy. If you suspect magnetic interference, consult a professional watchmaker for demagnetization.
• Impact: A severe impact can affect the delicate internal components. If the watch's accuracy is significantly off after an impact, professional inspection is recommended.
• Power Reserve: Ensure the watch is adequately wound. An insufficient power reserve can lead to erratic timekeeping.
