FAQs

How do I set the moon phase?

To set the moon phase, you typically need to advance the calendar functions until the moon indicator reaches the desired phase. Consult your specific model's user manual for the exact procedure, as it often involves using the recessed pushers in a particular sequence.

What is the power reserve of this watch?

As an automatic mechanical watch, the Engineer II Moon Calendar's power reserve is typically around 38-42 hours when fully wound. This means it will continue to run for that duration after being taken off the wrist.

Is the watch suitable for swimming?

The suitability for swimming depends on the specific water resistance rating of your Engineer II Moon Calendar model. Always check the case back or documentation for its ATM rating and avoid water exposure beyond its limits.

How long do the micro gas tubes last?

The H₃ micro gas tubes are designed to glow for up to 25 years without any external charging, providing consistent luminosity.

Can I adjust the bracelet size myself?

Adjusting the bracelet size typically involves removing or adding links, which can be done with a bracelet sizing tool. However, it's recommended to have this done by a qualified watchmaker to avoid scratching the bracelet or damaging the pins.

What does '40mm' refer to?

'40mm' refers to the diameter of the watch case, measured from the left side to the right side, excluding the crown.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped and won't run

Ensure the watch is wound. If it is an automatic, wear it for at least 8 hours, or manually wind the crown approximately 30-40 times clockwise until resistance is felt.

Timekeeping is inaccurate

Mechanical watches can be affected by magnetism or physical shock. Avoid strong magnetic fields and significant impacts. If the issue persists, professional servicing may be required.

Date/Day/Month/Moon Phase is not changing correctly

Ensure you are not setting the complications between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Consult the user manual for the correct procedure to set these functions.

Micro gas tubes are not glowing

The H₃ micro gas tubes are self-powered and do not require external charging. If they appear dim, it may be due to their expected lifespan or a manufacturing defect. Contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional low-light visibility due to micro gas tubes.
  • Comprehensive calendar and moon phase functions for practical use.
  • Durable construction suitable for everyday wear.
  • Elegant and minimalist design aesthetic.
  • Comfortable 40mm case size with a slim profile.

Cons

  • Moon phase complication requires manual adjustment after long months.
  • Multiple pushers may require a learning curve for operation.
  • As a mechanical watch, it requires regular winding or wear to maintain accuracy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set the time, pull the crown to the time-setting position and rotate. To set the date, day, month, and moon phase, use the four recessed pushers located on the sides of the case. Consult the user manual for the specific sequence and operation of each pusher to avoid damaging the movement.

Compatibility: This is a mechanical watch and does not have electronic compatibility requirements. It is designed to be worn on the wrist.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Winding: If the watch has stopped, wind the crown clockwise about 30-40 times until you feel resistance. If worn regularly, the automatic movement will keep it wound. For manual winding, do so gently.
  • Water Resistance: Refer to the specific water resistance rating of your model. Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond its rated depth, and ensure the crown is pushed in before any water contact.
  • Avoid Magnets: Strong magnetic fields can affect the accuracy of a mechanical watch. Keep it away from speakers, magnets, and other magnetic sources.
