Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports.
- Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged in water.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, as this can affect its water resistance.
- If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- Case and Crystal: Wipe the watch case and mineral glass crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Leather Strap: Leather straps can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the strap to air dry completely. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme moisture, which can cause the leather to crack or fade.
Battery Replacement
Your quartz watch is powered by a battery. When the watch stops running, the battery may need to be replaced. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained and to prevent damage to the movement.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. The original packaging or a watch box is ideal for storage.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running:
- Check if the crown is fully pushed into position 1.
- The battery may be depleted. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.
- Time is Inaccurate:
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
- Exposure to strong magnetic fields can affect quartz watch accuracy. Keep the watch away from magnets.
- If the issue persists, the watch may require professional inspection.
- Moisture Under Crystal:
- This indicates a breach in water resistance. Do not attempt to open the watch. Seek professional service immediately to prevent further damage.
