Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time, pull the crown to the second click and rotate to adjust the hands. The day and date are adjusted at the first click; rotate clockwise for the date and counter-clockwise for the day. Because this is an automatic watch, it will wind itself through the natural motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise in its base position.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields.
- Rinse the stainless steel case with fresh water after exposure to saltwater.
- Keep the nylon strap clean by wiping it with a mild, damp cloth and allowing it to air dry.
- Service the mechanical movement every 3 to 5 years to ensure long-term accuracy.
