4.3 Water Resistance

Your watch is rated for 30 meters (3ATM) of water resistance. This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as during hand washing. It is not designed for swimming, showering, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water jets.

5. 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 Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, band, or seals.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the movement and water resistance.
• Impact: Protect the watch from strong impacts or shocks, which can damage internal components or the glass.
• Battery Replacement: The watch uses 2 CR2032 batteries. When the battery runs low, it is recommended to have it replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.

6. Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to Section 3 for instructions on how to correctly set the time and date.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: This may indicate a need for adjustment or service. Try pressing the reset button firmly. If the issue persists, professional service may be required.
• Condensation Inside Dial: If you notice condensation under the glass, this indicates a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and seek professional service immediately.
