Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The watch arrives ready to wear. The primary setup involves setting the correct time using the screw-down crown. To set the time, gently unscrew the crown (it will turn counter-clockwise), pull it out to the desired position, set the hands, and then push and screw the crown back in firmly.
Compatibility: This is a standalone timepiece. The strap is compatible with standard 22mm lug width watch straps, allowing for customization if desired, though the U-Boat strap is designed for a specific fit.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or the rubber strap.
- Water Resistance: While rated at 50 meters, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Ensure the crown is always screwed down tightly to maintain water resistance.
- Temperature: The visible air bubble on the dial is designed to compensate for temperature variations. Avoid extreme temperature changes where possible.
- Battery Replacement: The Locking Ring System on the case back allows for quick battery replacement. It is recommended to have this service performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the integrity of the water resistance seals.
