Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting the Time
- Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) outwards. You'll typically feel a small click.
- Adjust Time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push the Crown In: Once the time is set, push the crown back in firmly until it clicks into its original position. This ensures the watch is sealed and begins ticking.
Bracelet Adjustment
The stainless steel bracelet comes with a deployment buckle and may require adjustment to fit your wrist comfortably. It is highly recommended to have the bracelet sized by a professional jeweler. They have the specialized tools and expertise to add or remove links without damaging the watch.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure your GV2 Milan Watch maintains its elegance and performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, oils, and perspiration. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, ensuring to dry the watch thoroughly afterward, especially around the crown and case back.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep the watch away from harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cleaning agents, as these can damage the materials and seals.
- Water Resistance: While water resistant to 50 meters, avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam (e.g., showers, saunas), or prolonged immersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Temperature Extremes: Protect the watch from extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as these can affect the battery life and internal components.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a dry, safe place, preferably in its original box or a watch box, to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Battery Replacement: As a quartz watch, the battery will eventually need replacement. When the watch stops or the seconds hand jumps irregularly (a low battery indicator for some quartz movements), take it to a qualified watchmaker for a battery change to ensure proper sealing and movement care.
