Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Setting Time and Date: To set the time, gently pull the crown out to its furthest position (usually the second click). Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands. To set the date/day (if applicable), pull the crown out to the first click and turn it in the appropriate direction. Push the crown back in fully to engage the movement and start the watch.
- Using the Chronograph: The watch features pushers for the chronograph function. Typically, the top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets it to zero. Refer to your watch's specific manual for detailed instructions on resetting chronograph hands if they are misaligned.
- Bracelet Adjustment: The gold-tone bracelet requires link removal or addition to achieve a perfect fit. This process often requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional jeweler or watchmaker to avoid scratching the finish.
Compatibility
This men's watch, with its bold design and 46mm case, is designed for individuals who appreciate a significant wrist presence and a statement piece. Its color scheme makes it versatile for both casual and semi-formal settings, particularly with outfits where a touch of gold and military green can enhance the overall look. While robust, care should be taken to avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case, bezel, and bracelet regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. For the silicone bezel, a mild soap solution can be used, ensuring it's thoroughly rinsed and dried afterward. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the gold plating.
- Water Resistance: While rated for 50m, always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Avoid exposing the watch to hot water (e.g., showers, saunas) as temperature changes can affect the water-resistant seals. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy. Consider a watch box to protect it from scratches.
- Battery Replacement: Mechanical watches require periodic servicing, while quartz watches will eventually need a battery replacement. When the time comes, it's recommended to have this done by an authorized service center to ensure the water resistance is maintained.
