Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting Up Your Watch
- Setting Time: Pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) out to its outermost position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the hands display the correct time. Push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
- Using the Chronograph: The chronograph functions are typically controlled by two pushers (buttons) on either side of the crown. The top pusher usually starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. Refer to the specific instructions provided with your watch for detailed operation.
Compatibility
This watch is universally compatible for wrist wear. The 22mm band width means that if you ever wish to replace the original leather strap, you can easily find alternative 22mm watch straps that are compatible, allowing for personalization.
Product Care
- Leather Strap Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, or moisture, as these can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or discolor. If the strap gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and occasional application of a leather conditioner can help maintain its appearance and suppleness. For deep cleaning or significant damage, consult a professional.
- Water Resistance: While rated for 50m, it's important to understand this rating is for static water pressure. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can allow water to enter the case. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure. After swimming, rinse the watch with fresh water to remove chlorine or salt, then dry it with a soft cloth.
- Crystal Cleaning: Clean the mineral crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. For smudges, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Battery Replacement: The quartz movement requires a battery. When the watch stops, it's time for a battery replacement. We recommend having this done by a professional watch repair service to ensure proper sealing and water resistance integrity.
