Setup
Unboxing and Initial Inspection:
Carefully remove your MVMT Chrono watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.
Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown (middle knob on the side of the watch) out to the second click position.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push the crown back in to the first click position to resume timekeeping.
Setting the Date:
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date.
- Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back in to the closed position.
Adjusting the Bracelet/Strap:
The MVMT Chrono watch comes with an adjustable bracelet. For optimal comfort and fit, you may need to add or remove links. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a professional jeweler to prevent damage to the watch or bracelet. If your watch has an interchangeable strap, refer to the specific strap's instructions for attachment and removal.

Operating Instructions
Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch Function):
Your MVMT Chrono watch is equipped with a precise chronograph function, allowing you to measure elapsed time.
- Start: Press the top pusher (button above the crown) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop/Pause: Press the top pusher again to stop or pause the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed on the subdials.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the bottom pusher (button below the crown) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
Water Resistance:
The MVMT Chrono watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use, such as accidental splashes, rain, and brief submersion. It is not recommended for swimming, bathing, or diving. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch:
To maintain the appearance of your MVMT Chrono watch, wipe the case and bracelet/strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement:
The Japanese Quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
Storage:
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case can help protect it from dust and scratches.

Troubleshooting
Watch Not Keeping Time:
- Check the Crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it's pulled out, the watch will not run.
- Battery: The battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker.
- Impact: Severe impact can affect the movement. Seek professional repair.
Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:
- This can sometimes be reset manually. Pull the crown out to the second click position. Press the top or bottom pushers repeatedly to advance the chronograph hands to the zero position. Once aligned, push the crown back in. If this does not work, professional service may be required.
Condensation Under Crystal:
- If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates a breach in the water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a qualified watchmaker to prevent further damage to the movement.
