FAQs

What type of movement does this watch use?

It uses the FC-235 quartz movement, which is powered by a battery.

Is the watch water-resistant?

While it features a robust build, the leather strap and design are meant for dress wear; avoid submerging in water.

Can I replace the leather strap with a metal bracelet?

The watch is designed with a specific lug width; it is recommended to use original manufacturer straps for proper fit.

What does the 6 o'clock sub-dial do?

The sub-dial is a 'small seconds' display, which tracks the seconds independently of the main hour and minute hands.

How do I ensure the sapphire crystal stays clear?

Avoid abrasive surfaces and clean it regularly with a dry, clean microfiber cloth.

Is this watch suitable for formal events?

Yes, its Art Deco styling and leather strap make it an excellent choice for formal and business attire.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

The battery in the FC-235 movement likely requires replacement; take the watch to a certified watchmaker.

Strap feels stiff or uncomfortable

Leather straps require a break-in period; wear the watch daily to allow the leather to conform naturally to your wrist.

Minor smudges on the glass

Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to gently clean the sapphire crystal surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting the time is straightforward: pull the crown to the second position and rotate it clockwise or counter-clockwise until the hands reach the desired time, then push the crown fully back in. Regarding care, the leather strap should be kept away from excessive moisture, perfumes, and direct sunlight to maintain its color and texture. If the watch comes into contact with sweat or water, wipe it clean immediately with a soft, dry cloth. While the case is robust, it should not be submerged in water. Battery replacement for the FC-235 movement should be performed by an authorized service center to maintain the internal integrity of the timepiece.
