Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this watch waterproof?

It is water-resistant up to 50 meters, meaning it can withstand light rain or accidental splashes but should not be submerged during swimming or diving.

What kind of battery does it use?

It uses a standard watch battery designed for quartz movements. Consult the product manual or a professional watchmaker for the exact battery model.

Can I replace the leather strap with a metal bracelet?

Yes, the watch uses standard lugs, allowing you to switch to a metal bracelet or a different style of strap with the correct width.

How do I use the tachymeter?

Start the chronograph when you pass a marker, and stop it when you reach the one-kilometer mark. The hand pointing to the tachymeter scale indicates your average speed in km/h.

Does the watch require professional servicing?

Quartz watches require very little maintenance, though it is recommended to have the seals checked if you frequently expose it to moisture.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

The battery likely needs replacing. Visit a certified jeweler to avoid damaging the case back.

Chronograph hands are not zeroing

Check the manual to perform a reset procedure, often involving pulling the crown to a specific position and pressing the chronograph buttons.

Leather strap is becoming stiff or worn

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically and replace the strap if cracking occurs to ensure the watch remains secure on your wrist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant aesthetic suitable for both formal and casual attire
  • Easy-to-read luminous hands and markers
  • Highly accurate and low-maintenance quartz movement
  • Practical chronograph and tachymeter utility
  • Durable stainless steel case construction

Cons

  • Limited to 50 meters of water resistance
  • Mineral crystal is prone to scratching compared to sapphire
  • Requires periodic battery replacement
  • Large 42mm size may feel bulky on smaller wrists

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown out to the second click and rotate it until the hands indicate the correct hour and minute. To adjust the date, pull the crown to the first click and turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on the specific crown configuration.

Care instructions include:

  • Keep Dry: Although rated for 50 meters, avoid exposing the leather strap to excessive moisture to prevent premature wear and odor.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the leather and dial color.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the watch case. If the case becomes very dirty, a slightly damp cloth can be used on the steel parts only.
  • Avoid Impacts: While robust, strong shocks can damage the internal quartz module.
