FAQs

What does 5 ATM water resistance mean?

5 ATM means the watch is resistant to splashes and rain. It is suitable for everyday wear but should not be worn while swimming, diving, or showering.

How do I activate and reset the chronograph function?

Press the top pusher to start and stop the chronograph. Press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands to their original zero positions.

Can I wear this watch in the shower?

No, it is not recommended to wear the watch in the shower. The steam and hot water can affect the seals and compromise water resistance over time.

How often does the battery need to be replaced?

Quartz watches typically have batteries that last between 2 to 5 years, depending on usage and battery type. Replacement should be done by a qualified watchmaker.

What is the material of the watch case and bracelet?

The watch case and bracelet are made of stainless steel. The bracelet features a black ion-plated finish.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

No, the 5 ATM water resistance rating means it is not suitable for swimming or any form of water immersion.

How do I clean the blue sunray dial?

To clean the dial, gently use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid touching the dial directly with fingers, and never use cleaning solutions, as they can damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it's an automatic or self-winding watch, it may need to be worn for a period to build up power reserve, or manually wound by turning the crown clockwise several times.

Chronograph hands are not returning to zero.

Ensure the chronograph has been fully reset by pressing the bottom pusher after stopping the function. If the issue persists, the chronograph mechanism may require professional servicing.

Date is not changing correctly.

Confirm that the date is not being changed between 9 PM and 3 AM. If it is, try advancing the time past 12 AM multiple times until the date changes, then set the correct time and date again, avoiding the problematic window.

Bracelet adjustment is difficult.

Refer to the watch's specific manual for instructions on how to adjust the bracelet links, which may involve pins or screws. Professional assistance from a jeweler is recommended if unsure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking, motorsport-inspired design with a bold black finish.
  • Functional chronograph for precise timekeeping and stopwatch capabilities.
  • Durable stainless steel construction for everyday resilience.
  • Luminescent hands ensure visibility in low-light conditions.

Cons

  • Limited water resistance (5 ATM) restricts use during swimming or showering.
  • Chronograph functions require manual setting and resetting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently wind the crown clockwise several times to start the movement.
  2. Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the appropriate position (usually the furthest position) and turn to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in.
  3. Setting Date: Pull the crown out to the middle position and turn to set the date. *Note: Avoid changing the date when the time is between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.*
  4. Using Chronograph: Press the top pusher to start and stop the chronograph. Press the bottom pusher to reset the chronograph hands to zero.

Compatibility:

This is a standalone analog watch and does not require electronic compatibility with other devices. Its strap is a standard size, though specific replacement straps may vary.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Water Resistance: While rated at 5 ATM, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly if exposed to salt water or chlorine.
  • Strap Maintenance: If your model has a leather strap, avoid getting it wet, as this can damage the material. Store in a cool, dry place.
