Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Setting Time and Date: Unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it pops out. Pull the crown to the first position to adjust the date (if applicable, rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise). Pull to the second position to adjust the time, rotating until the desired time is set. Push the crown back in and screw it down clockwise firmly until snug to maintain water resistance.
- Using the Chronograph: The watch features pushers for the chronograph function. Press the top pusher to start the stopwatch. Press it again to stop. Press the bottom pusher to reset the chronograph hands to zero.
- Adjusting the Unidirectional Bezel: To use for timing, rotate the bezel counter-clockwise until the zero marker aligns with the minute hand. As minutes pass, the bezel's markers indicate elapsed time.
Compatibility
This watch is designed for broad compatibility with various activities, from professional diving to daily wear. Its robust build makes it suitable for outdoor adventures, sports, and casual to semi-formal occasions.
Care
- Cleaning: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine. Use a soft cloth and mild soap to gently clean the case and bracelet. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Water Resistance Check: For divers or frequent swimmers, it's recommended to have the watch's water resistance seals checked by a professional watchmaker every 2-3 years, especially before intensive water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure.
- Battery Replacement: As a quartz watch, the battery will eventually need replacement. When the watch stops or the second hand starts to skip (End-of-Life indicator), take it to an authorized service center for a battery change to ensure proper sealing and battery type.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields.
