Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

The watch is likely an automatic. Ensure it is wound by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times. If worn daily, it should maintain power. If it stops frequently, it may need servicing.

Date is not changing correctly

Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Consult the user manual for the correct procedure.

Difficulty using the world time function

Refer to the specific user manual for detailed instructions on setting and adjusting the world time complication. Incorrect setting can lead to inaccurate readings.

Leather strap showing signs of wear

Clean the strap regularly with a soft cloth and avoid excessive moisture. Consider using a leather conditioner. If wear is significant, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently turn the crown clockwise (when it's in the closed position) about 30-40 times to build up initial power.
Setting Time/Date: Pull the crown out to the first or second position (depending on the movement) to set the time and date. Refer to the specific manual for detailed instructions on using the world time complication and 24-hour display.

Compatibility:

The watch is designed as a standalone timepiece. No electronic compatibility is required.
The leather strap is compatible with standard 20mm lug widths, though replacement straps should ideally be from Raymond Weil or of equivalent quality.

Care:

Leather Strap: Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals, which can degrade the leather. Consider a leather conditioner periodically.
Case and Crystal: Wipe gently with a soft, microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no water enters the watch.
Water Resistance: After exposure to saltwater or chemicals, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically by a qualified watchmaker.
