2. Setting Time and Date

1. Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to position 2 for setting the time. For setting the date, pull it to position 1.
2. Adjust the time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Ensure you distinguish between AM and PM if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date change mechanism.
3. Adjust the date: If setting the date, rotate the crown to advance the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.
4. Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 0 (normal operating position) to start the watch movement.

3. Reading the Chronograph:
   • The large second hand measures elapsed seconds.
   • The minute sub-dial (typically at 9 o'clock) measures elapsed minutes.
   • The 24-hour sub-dial (typically at 3 o'clock) indicates the current time in a 24-hour format.

Water Resistance

This watch has a water resistance depth of 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

• Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
• For stainless steel bracelets, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• If the watch has been exposed to saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a product-specific battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to jump every few seconds, indicating it needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch box is ideal for storage.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not running:
  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed into position 0.
  • The battery may need replacement. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.
• Time or date is incorrect:
  • Reset the time and date as described in the "Setting Time and Date" section.
• Chronograph hands do not reset to zero:
  • Ensure the chronograph is stopped before pressing the reset pusher. If the issue persists, a service may be required.
• Water inside the watch:
  • Immediately take the watch to a qualified service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
