Setup

3. Push the crown back into the normal position to start the watch.

Setting the Date:

3. Push the crown back into the normal position.

Bracelet Adjustment:

For proper fit, the watch bracelet may need adjustment. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified watch technician to prevent damage to the bracelet or watch.

Operating the Chronograph

The VD53 quartz movement includes a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time.

2. Stop: Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. Reset: After stopping, press the lower pusher to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.

Note: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before operating the pushers, especially near water, to maintain water resistance.

Water Resistance

Your Invicta Pro Diver Model 48383 watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet).

• This rating makes the watch suitable for recreational surfing, swimming, snorkeling, sailing, and other water sports.
• It is not suitable for diving.
• To maintain water resistance, ensure the crown is always fully pushed in. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged in water.
• Exposure to hot water (e.g., showers, hot tubs) can compromise water resistance over time due to thermal expansion and contraction of seals.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

Regularly clean your watch with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel case and bracelet, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing with clean water and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement:

As a quartz watch, the Model 48383 is powered by a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand might skip intervals. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Storage:

When not in use, store your watch in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case is recommended.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not running:

  Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement. Consult a qualified watch technician.

• Date not changing at midnight:

  The watch may be set to PM instead of AM. Advance the time by 12 hours. If the issue persists, consult a technician.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero:

  This may require a chronograph reset procedure, which varies by movement. It is best handled by a qualified watch technician.
