Troubleshooting

Date is changing at noon instead of midnight

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust 72-hour power reserve for weekend convenience
  • High-grade ceramic bezel offers superior scratch resistance
  • 300-meter water resistance provides true diving capability
  • Micro-adjustment clasp ensures a comfortable fit on various wrist sizes
  • Multi-layered anti-reflective coating enhances dial clarity

Cons

  • 39mm size may feel small for those preferring large statement pieces
  • The stainless steel bracelet adds significant weight to the wrist
  • Blue sunray dial may be less legible in direct, harsh glare compared to matte finishes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time and date, unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it pops out to the manual winding position. Pull the crown to the first click to adjust the date, and the second click to adjust the time. Always ensure the crown is pushed back in and screwed down tightly before exposing the watch to water to maintain its seal. The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted via the links and the micro-adjustment settings on the clasp. For cleaning, use fresh water and a mild soap to remove salt or sweat buildup, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners which may damage the anti-reflective coating on the crystal.
