Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For silicone straps, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
• Water Resistance: This watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This rating is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged. Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise the water seals. Ensure the screw-down crown is always securely tightened.
• Battery Replacement: When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance and ensure proper function.
• Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is pushed in and screwed down. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: This may require a chronograph hand alignment procedure. Consult a professional watch repair service.
• Date Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly, passing through 12 AM for the date change. If the issue persists, the date mechanism may require inspection.
• Condensation Inside Crystal: If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
