2. Operating the Watch

2.1 Basic Timekeeping

Once the time and date are set, the watch will keep accurate time using its quartz movement. The large hands indicate hours and minutes, while a smaller sub-dial typically indicates seconds.

2.2 Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch)

The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time.

1. Press button A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. Press button A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. Press button C (bottom pusher) to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.

Note: The sub-dials on the watch face display chronograph minutes, seconds, and 1/10th seconds, depending on the specific movement.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the stainless steel bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

3.2 Water Resistance

This watch is rated for 30 meters (3 ATM) of water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water, as steam and pressure changes can compromise the seals.

• Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
• Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time/date to maintain water resistance.

3.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.

4. Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Date not changing: Ensure the date is not being set between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM. If the issue persists, the movement may require inspection.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may indicate a need for chronograph calibration. Consult a professional watch technician for adjustment.
• Water inside the watch: If condensation or water appears inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
