Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setting the Time: To set the time, unscrew the conical crown and pull it out to the appropriate position. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in and screw it back to the original position to ensure water resistance.
- Winding the Watch: If the watch has stopped, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will help to get the watch started again. The watch winds automatically with normal wear.
- Strap Maintenance: The leather strap should be protected from prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight. Clean the strap with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Watch: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the case and crystal. Avoid using any cleaning products directly on the watch. Make sure the crown is properly screwed in before cleaning.
