Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting Up Your Watch
- Winding: If your watch has stopped, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise about 20-30 times. This will provide some initial power to the self-winding mechanism.
- Setting the Time and Date: Pull the crown to the appropriate position to set the time and date. Refer to the Longines manual for specific instructions for your watch model.
- Setting the Chronograph: Familiarize yourself with the chronograph pushers. One starts and stops the timer, while the other resets it.
Compatibility
This watch is compatible with a variety of straps. You can change the strap to suit your style. Ensure that the new strap is compatible with the watch's lug width.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the stainless steel case and the dial. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Leather Strap Care: Clean the leather strap with a special leather cleaner. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or water.
- Servicing: Get your watch serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker to maintain its accuracy and longevity.
- Water Resistance: While the watch is water-resistant, avoid using the chronograph pushers underwater.
