General Use
Wear your watch comfortably on your wrist. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or sudden impacts. The Meca-Quartz movement combines the precision of quartz with the mechanical feel of a traditional chronograph, offering reliable timekeeping.
Water Resistance (100m / 330ft)
Your Spinnaker Hull watch is water resistant to 100 meters (10 ATM). This rating makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and showering. It is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For water-resistant models, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
- Leather Strap Care: Avoid prolonged exposure of the leather strap to water, direct sunlight, or harsh chemicals to prevent damage and discoloration. Clean with a specialized leather cleaner if necessary.
- Battery Replacement: The Meca-Quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
- Water Resistance Check: It is advisable to have the water resistance checked annually, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: This may indicate a need for calibration or service. Consult a professional watch repair service.
- Condensation Under Crystal: If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates a loss of water resistance. Seek immediate professional service to prevent internal damage.
