Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your PROTO AUTO running at its best, follow these standard practices:
- Winding: If the watch stops, gently turn the crown clockwise while in the closed position to build the initial power reserve.
- Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the first or second click to adjust the hands to your local time. Always push the crown back in fully to ensure water resistance integrity.
- Care: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (like those found near speakers or electronic appliances), as these can interfere with the hairspring and affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe the crystal and case. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.
- Service: Like all mechanical watches, an automatic movement may benefit from professional inspection every 3-5 years to ensure lubrication remains optimal.
