Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working.

Ensure the watch has been sufficiently wound. Wear it for a full day or gently shake it. If the issue persists, check the instruction manual for manual winding procedures or contact customer support.

Inaccurate timekeeping.

Automatic watches can have a daily variance. If the inaccuracy is significant, ensure you are wearing the watch consistently to keep it wound. Extreme temperatures can also affect accuracy. For persistent issues, professional servicing may be required.

Leather strap showing signs of wear.

Clean the strap with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight. Consider conditioning the leather periodically with a suitable product.

Mineral glass has minor scratches.

Minor surface scratches on mineral glass are common. While not easily removed at home, they do not typically affect the watch's functionality. For deeper scratches, professional polishing or glass replacement may be an option.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Initial Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently shake it side-to-side for about 30 seconds to start the automatic movement. Many automatic watches also allow for manual winding by rotating the crown clockwise several times while it is in its closed position. Consult the included instruction manual for specific winding instructions for this model.
  2. Time Setting: Pull the crown out to the appropriate position (usually the outermost position for time setting) and rotate it to set the correct time. Push the crown back in to secure.

Compatibility:

  • Strap: The watch features a standard 23mm lug width, allowing for replacement with other 23mm watch straps if desired.
  • Movement: As an automatic watch, it is compatible with the natural motion of your wrist. For optimal performance, aim to wear it daily.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel case and mineral glass with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Water Resistance: Do not submerge the watch in water. After exposure to water, dry it thoroughly. Avoid exposing it to hot water or steam, as this can affect seals.
  • Storage: Store the watch in its presentation box or a soft pouch when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. If storing for a long period, consider placing it on a watch winder or winding it periodically.
