FAQs

What is the water resistance of this watch?

The watch has a water resistance of 50 meters (5 ATM), which means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water, but it is not designed for swimming or diving.

How do I set the date on the watch?

Pull the crown out to the first click. Turn the crown to set the date. Once set, push the crown back in to the normal position.

What type of battery does this watch use?

This watch typically uses a standard watch battery (e.g., a silver-oxide cell). The specific type should be confirmed by a watch professional when replacement is needed.

Can the bracelet be resized?

Yes, the stainless steel and gold IP bracelet can be resized by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to fit your wrist comfortably.

Is the gold finish on the bracelet real gold?

The bracelet features Gold IP (Ion Plating), which is a durable coating applied over stainless steel. It is not solid gold but provides a gold-like appearance.

What does '50m water resistance' mean in practical terms?

It means the watch can withstand water pressure equivalent to 50 meters depth. This typically covers accidental splashes, rain, and brief submersion. It is not suitable for showering, swimming, snorkeling, or diving.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not keeping accurate time.

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.

Chronograph hands are not resetting to zero.

Pull the crown to the second click and manually adjust the chronograph hands to the zero position using the pushers.

Strap feels loose or too tight.

Adjustments can be made at a watch repair shop or jeweler using specialized tools. For minor adjustments, some bracelets have micro-adjustment settings on the clasp.

Discoloration on the bracelet.

Clean the bracelet with a soft cloth. If discoloration is due to scratches on the gold IP plating, professional repair may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish two-tone design suitable for various occasions.
  • Durable stainless steel construction.
  • Clear readability with navy dial and gold accents.
  • Functional chronograph for timing needs.
  • Reputable brand heritage.

Cons

  • Limited water resistance (50m) restricts water-based activities.
  • Gold IP plating may show wear over time.
  • Chronograph function adds complexity that some may not need.
  • Larger 43mm case size may not suit all wrist sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch comes pre-set with its time and date. To set the time, pull the crown located at the 3 o'clock position outwards to the first click for date adjustment and to the second click for time adjustment. Push the crown back in to secure. For the chronograph, the top pusher starts and stops the timing, while the bottom pusher resets the hands.

Compatibility: This is a standalone timepiece and does not require compatibility with other electronic devices.

Care: To maintain the watch's appearance and function:

  • Clean the stainless steel and gold IP bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics, which can damage the finish.
  • Do not operate the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
  • Store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch when not in use to prevent scratches.
