Troubleshooting

Chronograph function not resetting to zero.
Ensure the chronograph is fully reset. Refer to the watch's manual for specific reset procedures for the chronograph hands.
Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure the time is set correctly between AM and PM. The date typically changes at midnight. Adjust the date using the crown's setting positions as per the manual.
