Troubleshooting

Watch is not running

Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch has stopped, the battery may need replacement.

Chronograph hands do not reset to zero

Gently pull the crown out to the second position and adjust the chronograph hands using the pushers until they align with zero. Consult the manual for specific instructions.

Difficulty reading time in low light

Ensure the luminous hands and markers have been exposed to light, as their glow is phosphorescent and will fade over time.

Condensation under the crystal

This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Immediately have the watch inspected by a professional to prevent further damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and timeless design suitable for various occasions.
  • Robust stainless steel build for durability.
  • Functional chronograph and tachymeter features.
  • Good water resistance for everyday wear and water activities.
  • Clear visibility in low light thanks to luminous elements.

Cons

  • 45mm case diameter might be large for individuals with smaller wrists.
  • Mineral crystal is more prone to scratching than sapphire crystal.
  • Quartz movement may require battery replacement over time.
  • Lug width of 21.9mm might limit strap replacement options compared to standard sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch is ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully to maintain water resistance. To set the time and date, gently pull the crown out to the first position for the date and the second position for the time. Always rotate the crown clockwise for setting.

Compatibility: This watch uses a standard folding clasp and a 21.9mm lug width, which may accommodate some aftermarket straps if desired, though official Festina straps are recommended for a perfect fit.

Care:

  • Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water.
  • Ensure the crown is always pushed in completely to maintain the 100m water resistance rating.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • The quartz movement requires periodic battery replacement, typically every 2-3 years, by a qualified watchmaker.
