3. Setup and Initial Adjustment
3.1 Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to position 2.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the 24-hour sub-dial (moon phase) is correctly aligned for AM/PM.
- Push the crown back to position 0 to start the watch.
3.2 Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to position 1.
- Rotate the crown clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
- Push the crown back to position 0.
3.3 Adjusting the Band
The metal band can be adjusted by removing links. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watchmaker to prevent damage. A band adjustment tool may be included for self-adjustment; refer to its specific instructions.

4. Operating the Chronograph
The chronograph function allows for precise timing of events.
- Start: Press pusher A to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand (large central second hand) and minute sub-dial will begin to move.
- Stop: Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Reset: After stopping, press pusher B to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4.1 Using the Tachymeter
The tachymeter scale on the bezel can be used to measure speed based on travel time over a known distance (e.g., 1 kilometer or 1 mile).
- Start the chronograph at the beginning of the measured distance.
- Stop the chronograph when the distance is completed.
- The position of the chronograph second hand on the tachymeter scale indicates the average speed per hour.
5. Care and Maintenance
- Water Resistance: This watch is 30M (3ATM) water-resistant, suitable for daily use like hand washing, sweat, and light rain. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For metal bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes.
- Chemicals: Keep the watch away from chemicals such as solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as they can damage the case, band, or seals.
- Magnetic Fields: Avoid strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
- Impact: Protect the watch from strong impacts or drops.
