Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown to the second click and rotate. The date can be adjusted by pulling the crown to the first click. For bracelet adjustment, it is highly recommended to visit a professional jeweler to avoid scratching the links or damaging the pins. To maintain the watch, clean the casing and bracelet periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with fresh water. Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or cleaning agents, as these can degrade the seals over time. After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water to prevent corrosion.
