Operation

The G10.212 movement operates similarly to most standard quartz watches with a date function.

Setting Time:

• Pull the crown out to the furthest position (Position 3).
• Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
• Push the crown back to its original position (Position 1) to start the movement.

Setting Date:

• Pull the crown out to the middle position (Position 2).
• Rotate the crown (usually counter-clockwise) to advance the date to the desired number.
• Once the date is set, push the crown back to Position 1.
• Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the accuracy of your G10.212 quartz movement.

• Avoid Shocks: Protect the watch from strong impacts or vibrations, which can damage the delicate internal components.
• Water Resistance: The movement itself is not inherently water-resistant. Its water resistance depends entirely on the watch case it is installed in. Always ensure the watch case is properly sealed.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices) as they can affect the accuracy of quartz movements.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as this can impact battery life and movement performance.
• Cleaning: If the movement is exposed during maintenance, use a dust blower to remove any debris. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the movement.
• Professional Servicing: For complex issues or internal cleaning, consult a professional watchmaker.

Battery Replacement:

The G10.212 movement uses a standard watch battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump every few seconds (End-of-Life indicator), it's time to replace the battery. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to avoid damaging the movement or compromising the watch's water resistance.
