FAQs

What does 10 ATM water resistance mean?

10 ATM (100 meters) means the watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving or high-velocity water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in.

How do I use the tachymeter?

Start the chronograph when you begin measuring a distance (e.g., at the start line). When you reach the end of that distance, stop the chronograph. The speed is indicated on the tachymeter bezel based on the elapsed time.

What type of movement does this watch have?

This watch features a reliable quartz movement, known for its accuracy and low maintenance.

How long is the warranty?

The watch comes with a standard 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Can I wear this watch in the shower?

Yes, the 10 ATM water resistance allows for showering. However, avoid direct exposure to soaps and shampoos, which can degrade the seals and strap over time. Ensure the crown is pushed in.

How do I clean the blue leather strap?

Gently wipe the strap with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the leather. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Chronograph not resetting to zero

Ensure the chronograph has been stopped before attempting to reset. If the issue persists, the chronograph mechanism may require adjustment by a professional.

Watch is not keeping accurate time

This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the battery with a new one of the correct type. If the problem continues, consult a watchmaker.

Luminous hands not glowing

Luminous material needs to be 'charged' by exposure to light. Ensure the watch has been exposed to a light source. The glow will naturally fade over time.

Water ingress into the case

If water is detected inside the watch, it indicates a compromised seal. Do not operate the crown or pushers. Take the watch to a qualified watchmaker immediately for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile chronograph and tachymeter functions.
  • Excellent low-light visibility with luminous hands.
  • Robust 10 ATM water resistance for various activities.
  • Comfortable and stylish blue leather strap.
  • Durable construction with mineral crystal.

Cons

  • 43mm case size may be large for some wrists.
  • Leather strap may require care in wet conditions.
  • Quartz movement may not appeal to mechanical watch enthusiasts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch typically arrives with the crown pulled out to the 'stop' position to conserve battery. To set the time and date, gently push the crown in one position and turn it. For chronograph functions, familiarize yourself with the pushers – usually, the top pusher starts/stops the chronograph, and the bottom pusher resets it.

Compatibility: This is a standalone analog watch and does not require compatibility with other devices.

Care:

  • Strap: The blue leather strap should be kept dry as much as possible to prevent damage and staining. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Case and Crystal: Wipe the watch case and mineral crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn smudges on the crystal, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 10 ATM, it's advisable to rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly after exposure to salt water or chlorine. Ensure the crown is pushed in before exposure to water.
  • Battery: The quartz movement is powered by a battery. Replacement should be done by a qualified watchmaker to maintain water resistance.
