Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The U-Boat Capsoil Quartz Watch is a quartz timepiece and typically arrives ready to wear. Ensure the crown is pushed in to start the timekeeping function. The chronograph functions are operated via the pushers. The serial number is laser engraved on the case back.
Compatibility: This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not have electronic compatibility requirements with other devices. The strap is a 22/20mm lug width, allowing for potential strap customization with compatible aftermarket straps.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. The vulcanized rubber strap can be cleaned with mild soap and water, then dried thoroughly.
- Water Resistance: After exposure to water, especially saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically, particularly before activities involving prolonged water submersion.
- Battery Replacement: The case back features a quick battery replacement system. For this operation, it is advisable to consult a qualified watchmaker to ensure the seals are maintained and water resistance is preserved.
- Temperature: While the air bubble compensates for temperature variations, avoid extreme and sudden temperature changes where possible.
