Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Jazzmaster Performer Automatic Chronograph is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. If the watch has stopped, you can manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise approximately 40 times while it is in the '0' position (pushed all the way in). Once wound, wearing the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day should keep it sufficiently powered. To set the time, gently pull the crown out to the furthest position and turn it to your desired time. To set the date, pull the crown to the intermediate position and turn it to advance the date. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting to maintain water resistance.
Compatibility: This is a standalone timepiece and does not require external device compatibility. The standard lug width allows for potential strap replacements with compatible aftermarket straps if desired.
Care: To maintain the condition of your watch:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Clean the leather strap with a dry or slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Do not expose leather to excessive moisture.
- Storage: Store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches when not in use. If storing for an extended period, ensure it is fully wound to maintain lubrication within the movement.
- Water Resistance: While the watch has a degree of water resistance, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged exposure to water. Always ensure the crown is screwed down or pushed in firmly before exposure to moisture.
