What is the material of the watch case?

The watch case is made of stainless steel with a silver-tone finish.

How long is the leather strap?

The brown leather strap measures approximately 21 cm in length and 20 mm in width.

Does the watch have a warranty?

Can I replace the strap myself?

What does the tachymeter bezel do?

The tachymeter bezel is a scale used in conjunction with the chronograph to measure speed over a set distance (typically one mile or kilometer). It allows you to calculate average speed based on elapsed time.

Troubleshooting

Chronograph hands not resetting to zero

Ensure the chronograph has been fully stopped before pressing the reset button. If the issue persists, the chronograph mechanism may need adjustment by a qualified watchmaker.

Date not changing correctly

Make sure you are setting the time correctly, advancing past 12 AM for the date change. Avoid changing the date when the watch hands are between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the date-setting mechanism.

Watch is not running

Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch has been stopped for a long time, the battery may be depleted and require replacement.

Strap feels uncomfortable

Adjust the buckle to the nearest hole. If needed, consider purchasing an alternative 20mm strap that better suits your wrist size and comfort preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch typically comes with the crown in the 'closed' position. To set the time, pull the crown out to the first click for the date and 24-hour display, and to the second click for setting the time. Press the crown back in fully. To operate the chronograph, press the top pusher to start and stop, and the bottom pusher to reset the hands to zero.

Compatibility: The watch is designed to be worn as is. The 20mm leather strap can be easily replaced with other 20mm watch straps (not included) using the quick-release spring bars for a different look or feel.

Care: Clean the stainless steel case and crystal gently with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight, which can cause damage or discoloration. If the strap becomes dirty, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure it dries thoroughly afterwards. Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
