Troubleshooting
The watch stopped running
The watch is automatic and relies on movement. Shake the watch gently for 30 seconds to build the power reserve.
The date is changing in the middle of the day
The movement is set 12 hours out of sync. Advance the time by 12 hours so the date rolls over at midnight rather than noon.
The watch is losing or gaining time significantly
Mechanical watches may require regulation after long periods of use. If the deviation is extreme, consult a professional watchmaker.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time and date, pull the crown to the first click to adjust the day and date by rotating, and to the second click to adjust the hands. Note that the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters, meaning it is splash-proof but should not be submerged in water during swimming or showering. To clean the stainless steel bracelet and case, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement. If the bracelet needs resizing, it is recommended to visit a local jeweler to ensure the pins are removed correctly without damaging the links.
