Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon receiving your Hugo Boss Admiral Chronograph, you'll need to set the time and date (if applicable).
- Setting the Time: Gently pull out the crown to the farthest position. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
- Setting the Date: If your watch has a date function, pull the crown out to the first click. Rotate the crown (usually clockwise) to adjust the date. Push the crown back in completely when finished.
Bracelet Adjustment
The stainless steel mesh bracelet features a clasp closure that can often be adjusted to fit your wrist size. This typically involves lifting a small lever on the clasp and sliding it along the mesh band to find the perfect fit. If you are unsure, it is recommended to have a jeweler adjust it for you to prevent damage.
Compatibility
This watch is a standalone accessory. Its compatibility is primarily with your personal style and wardrobe. Its classic design makes it versatile for various occasions and outfits.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your watch:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the case and bracelet regularly to remove dirt and oils. For the mesh bracelet, a soft brush can help clean between the links. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Water Resistance: While 10ATM resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, steam, or chemical cleaning agents which can degrade seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure.
- Battery Replacement: As a quartz watch, it will eventually require a battery replacement, typically every 2-3 years. Take it to a professional watchmaker to ensure proper battery type and resealing for water resistance.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in its original presentation box or a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Impacts: Though durable, try to avoid dropping the watch or exposing it to severe shocks, which can damage the movement or crystal.
