FAQs

Is this watch water-resistant for swimming?

No, it is rated at 50m, which is suitable for splashes or light rain, but it should not be submerged during swimming.

What is a meca-quartz movement?

It is a hybrid movement that uses a quartz battery for timekeeping but utilizes mechanical components for the chronograph functions.

Can I change the leather strap?

Yes, the watch uses standard lug widths, allowing you to easily swap the strap for other leather or metal options.

Does the watch have a date function?

Yes, it includes a discreet date window for daily calendar tracking.

How long does the lume stay bright?

The Japanese Super-Luminova will glow brightly immediately after light exposure and gradually fade, remaining legible for several hours in the dark.

Troubleshooting

Chronograph hand does not reset to zero

Pull the crown to the second position and use the top pusher to align the hand to the 12 o'clock position, then push the crown back in.

Watch has stopped running

The watch uses a quartz battery; if it stops, it likely needs a standard battery replacement at a certified horologist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Reliable meca-quartz movement
Classic vintage design language
High legibility with Super-Luminova
Stylish brown box-stitched leather strap

Cons

Mineral glass is prone to scratching
Limited water resistance for swimming
Gold PVD finish requires maintenance to avoid tarnishing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown to the second click and rotate. The date can be adjusted by pulling the crown to the first click. Ensure the crown is pushed fully against the case to maintain its water resistance. The leather strap is replaceable; the lugs accommodate standard spring bars if you wish to swap for different styles. To clean the watch, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove oils from the PVD case and avoid using harsh chemicals on the leather, as this can degrade the box stitching.
