FAQs

Does this watch require a battery?

No, this is an automatic watch powered by a mechanical movement that winds itself with the motion of your wrist. It has a 38-hour power reserve.

How do I set the time and date?

Gently pull the crown to the appropriate position to set the time. If a date function is available, pull the crown to the next position to set the date. Always ensure the crown is pushed back in completely afterwards.

Is the watch suitable for swimming?

No, this watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters, which is suitable for accidental splashes and brief immersion, but not for swimming or diving.

How long does the power reserve last?

The watch has a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. This means it will continue to run for about 38 hours after being fully wound, even if not worn.

What is the case made of?

The case is made of stainless steel.

What kind of glass does it have?

The watch features scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for both the dial and the case back.

Can the leather strap be replaced?

Yes, the leather strap can typically be replaced by a watchmaker or a jeweler with a strap of the same lug width.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

Ensure the watch has been wound sufficiently. If it has been stationary for over 38 hours, manual winding or shaking may be required to restart the movement.

Date is not changing correctly

Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date-changing mechanism. Set the time to 6:30, adjust the date, and then set the correct time.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Automatic watches can have a daily variation. If accuracy is significantly off, consult a watchmaker for regulation. Ensure the watch is not exposed to strong magnetic fields.

Strap comfort or fit issues

Adjust the buckle on the leather strap to find a comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is not too tight or too loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This watch features a self-winding automatic movement. To start, gently shake the watch for a few minutes or manually wind the crown (if applicable, consult specific model instructions) until you feel resistance. Ensure the crown is pushed back in completely after setting the time and date. The leather strap is equipped with a traditional buckle for easy adjustment and fastening.

Compatibility: As a traditional mechanical timepiece, it does not have electronic compatibility requirements. It is designed to be worn on the wrist.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently 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.
  • Winding: If not worn daily, wind the watch manually or shake it gently every 38 hours to maintain its power reserve.
  • Water Resistance: While rated at 50 meters, avoid prolonged exposure to water. It is resistant to splashes and brief immersion, not swimming or diving. Ensure the crown is always fully secured.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields.
