Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Setting the Time: Gently pull the crown out to the furthest position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the correct time. Once set, push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
- Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown clockwise (or counter-clockwise, depending on the movement) to adjust the date. *Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.* Once the date is correct, push the crown back in completely.
Bracelet Adjustment
The titanium bracelet is designed for a secure and comfortable fit. If the bracelet is too loose or too tight, it will need to be adjusted. This typically involves removing or adding links.
- Recommendation: For proper adjustment without damaging the bracelet, it is highly recommended to have this done by a qualified watchmaker or jeweler. They have the specialized tools and expertise to ensure a perfect fit.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To keep your watch looking its best, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, you can use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry immediately. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any damp cleaning.
- Water Resistance: While the watch is water-resistant to 50m, it's crucial to ensure the crown is always pushed in completely before any contact with water. *Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.* Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, or sudden temperature changes, which can compromise the water resistance seals.
- Avoid Impacts: Though titanium is durable, significant impacts can still damage the movement or crystal. Handle your watch with care.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. Placing it in its original box or a watch case is ideal.
