FAQs

What is the power reserve of the H-31 movement?

The H-31 automatic chronograph movement has a power reserve of 60 hours.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

This watch has water resistance suitable for splashes and brief immersion. It is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged water exposure.

How do I wind the watch if it stops?

You can manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise approximately 40 times while it is in the '0' (fully pushed in) position.

Can I change the leather strap?

Yes, the watch has standard lug dimensions that typically allow for compatible aftermarket strap replacements.

What does 'chronograph' mean?

A chronograph is a function that allows the watch to be used as a stopwatch. It typically includes sub-dials to measure seconds, minutes, and sometimes hours elapsed.

How often should the watch be serviced?

It is generally recommended to have an automatic watch serviced every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.

What is the case material?

The case is made of stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running.

Ensure the watch has been worn for a sufficient duration or manually wound. If the issue persists after winding or regular wear, the power reserve may be depleted, or there could be an internal issue requiring service.

Chronograph buttons are stiff or not engaging.

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the buttons remain stiff, avoid forcing them. There may be debris or an internal mechanism issue requiring professional cleaning or adjustment.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and can be damaged. Set the time to a neutral position (e.g., 6 AM) before adjusting the date.

Inaccurate timekeeping.

Automatic watches can have a daily variance. If the inaccuracy is significant, ensure the watch is fully wound and has been worn consistently. Extreme temperature changes or magnetic fields can also affect accuracy. If deviation is substantial, a service may be required.

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.
