3. Setup and Initial Use
3.1. Winding the Watch
As an automatic watch, your CK Iconic timepiece is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, for initial setup or if the watch has stopped due to lack of wear, it may require manual winding:
- Ensure the crown is in its normal, pushed-in position.
- Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will build up a power reserve to start the watch.
- Once started, wearing the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day will keep it sufficiently wound.
3.2. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the furthest position (typically the second click). The seconds hand will stop.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal position. The seconds hand will resume movement.
4. Operating the Watch
4.1. Wearing the Watch
For optimal performance of the automatic movement, wear the watch securely on your wrist. The natural movements of your arm will keep the mainspring wound. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (e.g., 40 hours or more), it may stop and require manual winding as described in Section 3.1.

4.2. Water Resistance
Your Calvin Klein CK Iconic watch is water resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM / 100 feet). This means it is designed to withstand:
- Accidental splashes (e.g., rain, hand washing).
- Brief immersion in water.
Important: This watch is NOT suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water immersion or high-pressure water exposure. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
5. Care and Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.
5.2. Service Interval
Your Calvin Klein watch has been developed with meticulous attention to quality, function, and detail. For optimal performance and longevity, a maintenance interval of 3 to 5 years is recommended. This service should be performed by an authorized Calvin Klein service center.
Warning: Never attempt to open the watch yourself. Opening the watch by unauthorized personnel will void the warranty and may cause irreparable damage to the delicate internal mechanism.
5.3. Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original packaging can be used for storage.

6. Troubleshooting
- Watch has stopped: If the watch has stopped, it likely needs to be wound. Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times (with the crown pushed in). Then, wear it regularly.
- Time is inaccurate: Ensure the watch is fully wound. Automatic watches can lose accuracy if not sufficiently powered. If inaccuracy persists after proper winding and regular wear, a professional service may be required.
- Condensation under crystal: If you notice condensation, this indicates moisture has entered the watch. Immediately take it to an authorized service center to prevent further damage.
