Setup Instructions
1. Initial Winding
As an automatic mechanical watch, it requires initial winding if it has stopped. To wind the watch, gently whirl the crown (the knob on the side) clockwise for 15 to 20 complete revolutions. Do not pull the crown out during this process. This will provide sufficient power to start the movement.
2. Adjusting Time and Date
- Time Adjustment: Pull the crown out to the outermost position. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in to its normal position.
- Date/Day/Month Adjustment: Pull the crown out to the middle position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date, day, and month displays. Some models may have additional push-buttons for specific adjustments. Refer to the watch face for specific indicators. Push the crown back in to its normal position once set.

3. Adjusting Band Length
Your watch comes with a stainless steel band adjustment tool. Use this tool to remove or add links to the band for a comfortable fit around your wrist. Instructions for using the tool are typically included with the tool itself. Ensure the clasp closes securely after adjustment.
Operating Your Watch
Automatic Movement
The watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. This means it winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist while you wear it. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop. In such cases, manually wind it as described in the "Initial Winding" section to restart it.
Water Resistance (3ATM)
This watch is rated for 3ATM (30 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes, rain, or brief immersion in water. However, it is not suitable for bathing, showering, swimming, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water. Avoid operating the crown or push-buttons when the watch is wet.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. For the stainless steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid Magnets: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices) as magnetism can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as this can impact its performance and materials.
- Impact: Protect the watch from strong impacts or drops, which can damage the delicate internal mechanisms.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and scratches.

Troubleshooting Guide
- Watch has stopped: If the watch has stopped, it likely needs to be wound. Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 15-20 times. Ensure you are wearing the watch regularly for the automatic movement to function.
- Watch is running inaccurately: Ensure the watch has been sufficiently wound. Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields. If the issue persists, professional servicing may be required.
- Date/Day/Month not changing: Manually adjust the calendar functions using the crown in its middle position. Ensure adjustments are not made between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
