Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times. If worn regularly, ensure it receives enough motion. If it stops after being fully wound, the power reserve may be less than 40 hours due to age or condition.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Automatic watches can deviate by a few seconds per day. If the deviation is significant, check for exposure to strong magnetic fields or shocks. If issues persist, the movement may require servicing.
Clasp is difficult to open or close
Ensure the watch is clean and free of debris. Gently operate the clasp mechanism. If it remains stiff, a watchmaker can adjust or lubricate it.
Condensation under the crystal
This indicates a breach in water resistance. Immediately avoid water exposure and take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent internal damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently wind the crown (pulled out to the first position) clockwise for about 30-40 turns until you feel resistance. This will provide an initial power reserve.
Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position and set the correct time. Push the crown back in fully.
Compatibility:
Strap: The 18mm stainless steel bracelet is designed to be durable. While not easily interchangeable with standard straps due to the case design, it offers a robust and integrated look.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Water Resistance: While rated for 50 meters, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance. Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet.
Movement: Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, or shocks, which can affect the accuracy of the automatic movement.
