Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting the Time and Date
- Set Time: Gently pull the crown out to its furthest position. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
- Set Day/Date: For models with a quick-set date function, pull the crown out to the first click. Turn the crown to adjust the day and date. If your watch has a two-stop crown, the first stop typically adjusts the date, and the second stop adjusts the time. Adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM may cause issues, so it's often recommended to set the time outside this window (e.g., to 6 AM) before setting the date.
Compatibility
This watch is a standalone accessory and does not require compatibility with other devices.
Care and Maintenance
- Water Resistance: While water-resistant, avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or harsh chemicals which can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
- Strap Care: The black leather strap can be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the leather strap in water or exposing it to excessive moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures, as these can cause the leather to crack, fade, or stiffen. Allow it to air dry naturally if it gets wet.
- Cleaning the Case and Glass: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the ionic plated blue case and mineral crystal glass. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields to prolong its life and accuracy.
