Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the movement of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, you will need to wind the crown manually to start it.
- Manual Winding: Gently pull the crown out to its furthest position. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times until you feel resistance. Do not force it past this point.
- Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the second position (if applicable, or the first position after winding). Turn the crown to set the correct time and date. Push the crown back in fully.
- Wearing the Watch: Wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day to ensure the automatic movement remains wound. Movement from daily activities should be sufficient.
Compatibility:
The watch is designed to be worn on the wrist. The black calf leather strap with a crocodile pattern is compatible with standard watch strap lug widths for potential future replacements, though specific sizing would need to be confirmed.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. The leather strap should be kept dry and cleaned with specialized leather care products if necessary.
- Water Resistance: The watch has a 30-meter water resistance rating. It is protected against accidental splashes and rain but should not be submerged in water. Avoid exposure to steam or hot water, as this can affect seals.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch to protect it from scratches and dust.
- Servicing: Automatic watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
