Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time and date, unscrew the crown until it pops into the first position. Pull it to the second position to adjust the time, and the first position to adjust the date. Always ensure the crown is pushed back in and screwed down tightly after adjustments to maintain the 300m water resistance seal.
Care instructions involve rinsing the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pool water to prevent mineral buildup. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents on the stainless steel or sapphire crystal. For long-term maintenance, it is recommended to have the watch inspected by an authorized Longines technician every 3 to 5 years to ensure the movement is lubricated and the gaskets remain waterproof.
