FAQs

Does this watch feature a hacking movement?

Yes, the Calibre F6P22 movement includes a hacking feature, which stops the second hand when the crown is pulled out to set the time.

Can I replace the strap on this model?

Yes, the lugs accommodate standard watch straps, allowing for personalization with leather, rubber, or alternative steel bracelets.

What is the glass material?

The watch is equipped with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, providing superior durability compared to standard mineral glass.

How do I track a second timezone?

Set the GMT hand to your home timezone using the 24-hour scale on the rotating bezel, and use the primary hour hand for your current local time.

Is the bezel bidirectional?

The Mako GMT bezel is designed to be rotated, allowing for the tracking of multiple timezones depending on your needs.

What is the lug-to-lug width?

The watch is designed with standard lug spacing for this series, typically allowing for 22mm straps.

Troubleshooting

Watch stopped running after sitting for a few days

The power reserve is 40 hours. Manually wind the crown clockwise 10-15 times to restart the mechanism.

Date is changing at noon instead of midnight

The watch is set 12 hours ahead. Advance the time forward by 12 hours to synchronize the date change to midnight.

Crown feels difficult to screw down

Ensure the crown is aligned properly with the threads. Gently rotate counter-clockwise until you feel a click, then turn clockwise to lock.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent value for a GMT mechanical watch
Highly durable 200m water resistance rating
Reliable in-house automatic movement
Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal lens
Classic yet modern aesthetic appeal

Cons

Large 43mm diameter may be bulky for smaller wrists
40-hour power reserve is standard but not industry-leading
Non-ceramic bezel might be prone to surface scratches over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the local time, unscrew the crown by turning it counter-clockwise until it pops into the first position. Pulling the crown to the second position allows you to set the GMT hand and date. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water to maintain its 200m seal. For care, rinse the stainless steel case with fresh water after salt-water exposure to prevent corrosion. Periodically clean the bracelet and case using a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to remove debris and oils. Store the watch away from strong magnetic fields to maintain accuracy.
