About TW Steel

TW Steel is a watch brand that harmoniously combines design and innovation. 'The Watch in Steel' leads the oversized market with style and quality. TW Steel values the relationship with the consumer and provides all necessary information to enjoy your TW Steel watch to the fullest.

Maintenance and Care

TW Steel uses the best materials and conducts strict quality controls. The appearance of your watch depends on how you wear and treat it. To enjoy your TW Steel watch for as long as possible, follow these tips:

• Avoid contact with hard or corrosive materials, which can cause visible scratches over time.
• Clean your watch with a soft, dry cotton cloth. Do not use any cleaning materials.
• Regularly polish your watch with a soft cotton cloth.
• Treat your watch as a precision mechanical instrument. Adjusting the time or date, opening or closing the crown or crown cap should be done carefully, not roughly.

Use of the Crown

To adjust the time or set the date, unscrew the crown anti-clockwise and pull it out. Once adjustments are complete, push the crown back to its normal position and screw it clockwise back to the case.

Control Buttons

The watch is operated using the following controls:

• Push button A: Typically used for starting/stopping chronograph functions.
• Crown: This is the main control for setting time and date. It can be in three positions:
  • Position I: Normal position, screwed in.
  • Position II: Pulled out one step, used for setting the date.
  • Position III: Pulled out two steps, used for setting the time and adjusting chronograph hands.
• Push button B: Typically used for resetting chronograph functions or for interval timing displays.

Operating Instructions

Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to position III (the watch movement stops).
2. Turn the crown until the correct time is displayed (e.g., 8:45).
3. Push the crown back into position I.
4. Note on Exact Seconds: To set the time to the exact second, pull out the crown when the second hand is at the 60-second mark (top). Push the crown back into position I precisely when the desired second begins.

Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown out to position II (the watch continues to run).
2. Turn the crown until yesterday's date appears in the date window.
3. Push the crown back into position I.
4. Important Note: To prevent the date from incorrectly advancing between approximately 9 PM and 12 AM, if you are setting the date during this period, set it to the date of the following day.

Using the Chronograph

Starting, Stopping, and Resetting

• Start Timing: Press push-button A.
• Stop Timing: Press push-button A again.
• Reset Timing: Press push-button B. The chronograph hands will return to their zero positions.

Intermediate or Interval Timing

This function allows you to measure specific segments of a longer duration.

• Start Timing: Press push-button A.
• Display Interval: The elapsed time for the interval is shown (e.g., 20 minutes 17 seconds). The main timing continues in the background.
• Make Up Measured Time: Press push-button B to advance the chronograph hands quickly to show the total elapsed time up to that point.
• Stop Timing: Press push-button A.
• Reset Timing: Press push-button B.
• Note: After measuring an interval, you can press push-button B to toggle between displaying the interval time and the total elapsed time.

Adjusting Chronograph Hands to Zero Position

This procedure is required if the chronograph hands (second, minute, or hour counters) are not correctly aligned at their zero positions, which can occur after a battery change.

1. Pull the crown out to position III.
2. Press and hold both push-buttons A and B simultaneously for at least 2 seconds. The second counter hand will rotate 360 degrees, indicating that the corrective adjustment mode is activated.
3. Adjusting the Second Counter Hand: Use push-button A. A short press advances the hand by one step; a long press moves it continuously.
4. Adjusting the Minute Counter Hand (typically at the 9 o'clock position): Use push-button B. A short press advances the hand by one step; a long press moves it continuously.
5. Adjusting the Hour Counter Hand (typically at the 6 o'clock position, specific to 5030.D models): Use push-button A. A short press advances the hand by one step; a long press moves it continuously.
6. Once all hands are correctly aligned at zero, return the crown to position I.
