Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is losing time.

Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure you are setting the date between 1 AM and 5 AM (or as per manual instructions). Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the date-changing mechanism.
Chronograph functions are not resetting to zero.
Ensure the chronograph is fully stopped before attempting to reset. If the hands do not return precisely to zero, they may need to be manually readjusted by a qualified watchmaker.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently wind the crown clockwise several times until you feel resistance. This is for manual winding models; automatic watches will gain power from wrist movement.
Setting Time & Date: Pull the crown out to the appropriate position (usually one or two clicks) to set the time and date. Push the crown back in fully to secure.
Chronograph Operation: Familiarize yourself with the chronograph pushers. Typically, the top pusher starts/stops the chronograph, and the bottom pusher resets it.
Compatibility:
Strap Compatibility: The watch uses a standard lug width that accommodates 20mm quick-release watch straps. A variety of materials like leather, silicone, or NATO straps can be used for customization.
Care:
Cleaning: Wipe the case, glass, and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the stainless steel bracelet, a gentle soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough drying.
Water Resistance: After exposure to salt water or chlorinated water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before any water exposure. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet.
Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider a watch box to protect it from dust and scratches.
