Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped working
The watch may have run out of power reserve. Manually wind the crown 30-40 times clockwise to start the movement. Ensure the watch is worn regularly.
Watch is losing or gaining time significantly
Automatic watches can have a slight variation in timekeeping. If the deviation is significant (more than 15-20 seconds per day), it may require regulation. Ensure the watch has not been exposed to strong magnetic fields or extreme temperatures.
The date is not changing correctly
Ensure you are not trying to adjust the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Consult the manual for correct date setting procedures.
Strap is uncomfortable or damaged
The leather strap can be adjusted for a better fit. If damaged, replacement straps compatible with 20mm lug widths can be sourced. Avoid exposing the leather strap to excessive moisture.
