2.2 Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Locate the crown on the right side of the watch case. Gently pull it out to the second click position.
- Set the time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. To avoid confusion with the date change, it is recommended to set the time past 12 AM to ensure the date changes correctly for the current day.
- Set the date: Push the crown in one click to the first click position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. If the date changes at noon, advance the time by 12 hours.
- Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case. This engages the movement and starts the watch.

3. Operation
3.1 Basic Timekeeping
Once the time and date are set and the crown is pushed in, the watch will operate continuously. The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping.
3.2 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 200 meters (660 feet) or 20 ATM. This rating makes it suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports, including swimming. It is not suitable for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
3.3 Unidirectional Bezel
The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel can be rotated counter-clockwise and is typically used to measure elapsed time, such as dive time or other timed events. Align the bezel's zero marker with the minute hand at the start of an event, then read the elapsed time from the bezel as the minute hand progresses.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a product-specific battery (included). When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump in irregular intervals (indicating a low battery), the battery needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
4.3 Water Resistance Seal Check
Over time, the gaskets that ensure water resistance can degrade. It is advisable to have the water resistance checked annually by a professional, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water.
4.4 Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch tin provides suitable protection.
5. Troubleshooting
- Watch not running:
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in against the watch case.
- The battery may need replacement. Refer to Section 4.2.
- Date not changing at midnight:
- The watch may be set to PM instead of AM. Advance the time by 12 hours. Refer to Section 2.2.
- Condensation under crystal:
- This indicates a potential breach in the water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
