- Use the upper or lower pusher (refer to specific watch movement instructions if available, as this varies) to adjust the day of the week.

Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.
5.2 Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance rating of 3 ATM (30 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

5.3 Battery Care
The included Silver Oxide battery typically lasts for several years. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump in irregular intervals (indicating low battery), have the battery replaced promptly by a professional to prevent leakage and damage to the movement.
6. Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time/date: Refer to Section 3 for instructions on setting the time and date.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: If the chronograph hands do not reset to the 12 o'clock position, they may need calibration. Consult a professional watch repair service.
