Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon receiving your watch, you may need to set the time and date.
- Setting the Time: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) out to its furthest position. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the hands display the correct time. Push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
- Setting the Date: If your watch has a quick-set date function, pull the crown out to the first position. Turn the crown to adjust the date. If not, you may need to rotate the hands through 24 hours to advance the date. Once set, push the crown back in completely.
Compatibility
The stainless steel bracelet is designed to fit a range of wrist sizes. However, for an optimal fit, it may require adjustment. If the bracelet is too loose or too tight, it is recommended to have links added or removed by a professional jeweller or watchmaker.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To maintain its shine, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For tougher grime on the bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, especially on the mother-of-pearl dial.
- Water Exposure: While water-resistant up to 50 meters, avoid prolonged exposure to water, hot water, or steam. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.
- Battery Replacement: The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops or begins to lose time, it is time for a battery replacement. This should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
- Avoid Impacts: Though durable, try to avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to harsh impacts, which could damage the alloy case or internal movement.
