Setup

Initial Winding

Your Ingersoll Ollie watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. It does not require a battery. Before wearing for the first time, or if the watch has stopped due to lack of movement, it needs to be manually wound. To do this, rotate the crown (located on the side of the watch case) clockwise approximately 20-30 times while it is in its normal, pushed-in position. This will build up an initial power reserve.

Setting the Time

1. Gently pull the crown outwards to the first position.
2. Rotate the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal, pushed-in position to engage the movement and start the watch.

Operating Your Watch

Automatic Movement Functionality

The automatic movement in your Ingersoll Ollie watch is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. As you wear the watch, an oscillating weight inside the movement rotates, winding the mainspring and storing energy. If the watch is worn daily for at least 8-10 hours, it should maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (typically 36-40 hours), it will stop and require manual winding and time setting as described in the 'Setup' section.

Wearing the Watch

Ensure the watch is worn comfortably on your wrist, not too tight or too loose, to allow for proper automatic winding. The black leather strap features a buckle clasp for secure fastening.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly clean the dial and case with a soft, dry cotton cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the finish or glass.

Water Resistance

Your Ingersoll Ollie watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or any water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. A watch box or pouch is recommended to protect it from dust and scratches.

Troubleshooting

Watch Not Running

• Insufficient Power Reserve: As an automatic watch, it relies on wrist movement. If the watch has stopped, manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise 20-30 times.
• Lack of Wear: If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it will stop. Wear it regularly or manually wind it.

Time Inaccuracy

• Magnetic Fields: Exposure to strong magnetic fields (e.g., from speakers, refrigerators, or certain electronic devices) can affect the watch's accuracy. If you suspect this, consult a professional watchmaker for demagnetization.
• Impact: A severe impact can affect the delicate internal components.
• Service Interval: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) to maintain accuracy and performance.
