Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
If the watch has stopped, gently shake it side-to-side for about 30 seconds to start the automatic movement. You can also manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise while it is in the closed position (position 1). Turn it approximately 30-40 times until you feel resistance.
Compatibility:
This watch is a standalone mechanical timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Water Resistance: Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down (if applicable) before exposing the watch to water. Regularly check the water resistance seal, especially after any impact or servicing.
- Winding: If not worn daily, wind the watch manually to maintain its power reserve. Avoid over-winding.
- Servicing: For optimal performance, it is recommended to have the watch serviced by a qualified Frederique Constant watchmaker every 3-5 years.
