Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setting the Time and Date
To set your Sekonda Classic Watch - 1097, pull the crown out to the furthest position (usually two clicks). Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands. For the day and date, pull the crown out to the first position (one click) and rotate it. Turning it one way will adjust the date, and the other way will adjust the day. Ensure you set the day/date when the hour hand is not between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the mechanism. Once set, push the crown fully back into its original position.
Bracelet Adjustment
The stainless steel bracelet on your watch may need to be adjusted to fit your wrist comfortably. This typically involves removing links. For the best fit and to prevent damage, it is recommended to have this done by a professional jeweler or watch technician.
Water Resistance
Your watch is water resistant to 50 meters. This means it is protected against accidental splashes, rain, and short immersion in water, such as washing your hands. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, bathing, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To keep your watch looking its best, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For more stubborn marks on the stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the watch. Do not use chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.
- Battery Replacement: As this watch features a quartz movement, the battery will eventually need to be replaced. When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping, it's an indication that the battery is low. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
