3. Setup

3.1 Initial Charging

Your Citizen Eco-Drive watch is powered by light. Before initial use, ensure the watch is fully charged by exposing it to a bright light source (natural or artificial) for several hours. A full charge can last for several months, even in darkness.

3.2 Setting Time and Date

Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual for precise time and date setting procedures. Generally, the crown is used to adjust the time and date. Pull the crown out to the appropriate position and rotate to set. Push the crown back in to secure the settings.

3.3 Adjusting 12/24 Hour Display

This model supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time displays. Consult the comprehensive manual for specific steps on how to switch between these display modes, typically involving a combination of crown and pusher operations.

4. Operating Your Watch

4.1 Chronograph Function

The watch features a 1/5 second chronograph capable of measuring up to 60 minutes. Use the pushers on the side of the case to start, stop, and reset the chronograph. The sub-dials will display the elapsed time.

4.2 Using the Slide-Rule Bezel

The bidirectional rotating bezel features a slide-rule scale, a tool commonly used by pilots for various calculations such as multiplication, division, fuel consumption, and speed. Rotate the bezel to align the inner and outer scales for desired calculations. Detailed instructions for specific calculations are available in the full user manual.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Eco-Drive Charging Best Practices

To maintain optimal performance of your Eco-Drive watch, ensure it receives regular exposure to light. Avoid prolonged storage in dark places. If the watch stops or indicates a low charge, expose it to bright light until fully charged. The watch features a power reserve indicator to help monitor its charge level.

5.2 Cleaning and Care

Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For the stainless steel bracelet, a soft brush with mild soapy water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but not entirely scratch-proof; avoid unnecessary impacts.

5.3 Water Resistance

The watch is water resistant to 200 meters. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Watch Stops or Runs Intermittently

This usually indicates insufficient charge. Expose the watch to bright light for several hours to fully recharge the Eco-Drive power cell. If the issue persists after adequate charging, contact Citizen customer support.

6.2 Time or Date is Incorrect

Manually adjust the time and date using the crown as described in the full user manual. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after adjustment. If the watch has an atomic timekeeping feature (not explicitly stated for this model but common in Navihawk series), ensure it is receiving signals correctly.
