Can I swim with this watch?

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped and won't run.

Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times. Ensure the watch is worn regularly to allow the automatic movement to keep it powered.

Timekeeping is inaccurate (too fast or too slow).

Automatic watches can have slight variations. If the deviation is significant, it may require regulation by a professional watchmaker. Extreme temperatures can also affect accuracy.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure the time is not set between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and may cause issues if adjusted manually. Consult the user manual for specific instructions on setting the date.

Bracelet feels loose or too tight.

The bracelet can be adjusted by removing or adding links. This is best done by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damaging the links.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Winding: If the watch has stopped, manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise (while pulled out to the time-setting position, then push it back in) approximately 30-40 times. For optimal performance, wearing the watch for at least 8 hours a day will allow the automatic rotor to keep it wound.
  2. Setting Time and Date: Pull the crown out to the time-setting position (usually the furthest position). Adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time. If applicable, set the date by pulling the crown to the date-setting position (often the middle position) and rotating.

Compatibility:

This is a standalone mechanical timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices for its core function. The stainless steel bracelet may be adjustable by a jeweler or watch repair professional to fit your wrist.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the case. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 100 meters, it is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically, especially if exposed to salt water or chlorinated water. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposure to water.
  • Servicing: Automatic watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
