2.2 Setting the Time

1. Pull out the crown: Locate the crown on the right side of the watch case. Gently pull the crown outwards to the time-setting position.

2.3 Adjusting the Leather Strap

The watch features a leather strap with a pin buckle. To adjust the fit:

1. Place the watch on your wrist.
2. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle.
3. Insert the pin of the buckle into the desired hole on the strap for a comfortable and secure fit.
4. Secure the excess strap using the two leather loops.

3. Operating the Watch

The EUROtops Atlas Pilot Watch is an analog quartz watch. Its primary function is to display the time (hours, minutes, and seconds) accurately. There are no additional complex functions or modes to operate beyond setting the time.

• Time Display: The watch displays time using three hands: a large hand for hours, a slightly smaller hand for minutes, and a thin red hand for seconds.
• Quartz Movement: The watch is powered by a reliable Chinese quartz movement (Z68), ensuring precise timekeeping.

4. Maintenance and Care

4.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and mineral glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap.

4.2 Water Resistance

The watch has a water resistance rating of 1 ATM (10 meters). This means it is resistant to splashes and brief immersion in water, such as rain or hand washing. It is not suitable for showering, swimming, diving, or any prolonged water exposure. Avoid operating the crown when the watch is wet.

4.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a single product-specific battery (included). When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (indicating low battery), it is time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

4.4 Storage

When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original packaging or a watch box can help protect it from dust and scratches.

5. Troubleshooting

• Watch not running:
  • Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
  • The battery may need replacement. Refer to section 4.3.
• Incorrect time display:
  • Reset the time as described in section 2.2.
  • If the time continues to be inaccurate, the watch may require servicing.
• Condensation under the glass:
  • This indicates moisture has entered the watch. Immediately take the watch to a qualified technician for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
