FAQs

How does the solar power work?

The watch uses a solar cell under the dial to convert light into energy, which is then stored in a rechargeable battery. This eliminates the need for battery changes.

Is the watch suitable for diving?

Yes, the watch is water-resistant to 200 meters, making it suitable for recreational diving and swimming.

How do I use the chronograph?

The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph. The bottom pusher resets it. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions on the chronograph functions.

How do I set the date and time?

Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date, and to the second position to set the time.
