Setup

Initial Charging

Your Eco-Drive watch is powered by light. Before initial use, or if the watch has stopped, expose it to bright light (natural or artificial) for several hours to ensure a full charge. A full charge can last for months even in total darkness.

Setting the Time and Date

1. Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will move to the 12 o'clock position.
2. Set the time: Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Pay attention to the AM/PM indicator (if present on the subdial) to ensure the correct 12/24 hour setting for the date change.
3. Set the date: Push the crown in to the first click position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
4. Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into the normal position. The second hand will resume movement.

Operating Instructions

Using the Chronograph

The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time up to 60 minutes in 1/5 second increments.

1. Start: Press the upper pusher (button A) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. Stop: Press the upper pusher (button A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph second hand and the minute subdial.
3. Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher (button B) to reset it. All chronograph hands will return to their 0 (12 o'clock) positions.
4. Split Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. Refer to the detailed movement guide on the Citizen website for specific instructions if your model supports this.

12/24 Hour Time Display

The watch features a subdial that indicates the time in a 24-hour format, often synchronized with the main hour hand to show AM/PM for accurate date changes.

Maintenance

Eco-Drive Charging Guidelines

To maintain optimal performance, ensure your Eco-Drive watch receives sufficient light exposure. Avoid prolonged storage in dark places. If the watch stops, expose it to bright light immediately. The power reserve indicator (if present) or the two-second interval movement of the second hand indicates a low charge.

Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

• Watch has stopped: The watch may be insufficiently charged. Expose it to bright light for several hours.
• Second hand moves at two-second intervals: This indicates a low power reserve. Charge the watch by exposing it to light.
• Date changes at noon: The AM/PM setting is incorrect. Advance the time by 12 hours.
• Chronograph hands do not reset to zero: Pull the crown out to the second click position and use the pushers to align the chronograph hands to the 12 o'clock position. Refer to the full instruction manual on the Citizen website for detailed calibration steps.
