Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped and won't run
Ensure the watch has been wound. Gently shake the watch for 30 seconds or manually wind the crown clockwise 30-40 times. If the issue persists, the power reserve may be depleted, or a service might be required.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Automatic watches can gain or lose a few seconds per day. If significant deviation occurs, ensure consistent wearing or winding. Extreme inaccuracies may indicate a need for servicing.
Date not changing correctly
Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date-changing mechanism. Always set the date when the time is between 3 AM and 9 PM.
Strap adjustment difficulty
For adjustments to the stainless steel bracelet, it is recommended to visit a qualified jeweler or watchmaker to ensure the links are removed or added correctly without damaging the bracelet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. To start the watch:
- If the watch has stopped, gently shake it back and forth for about 30 seconds to engage the automatic rotor.
- Alternatively, you can manually wind the watch by unscrewing the crown (located at the 3 o'clock position) and turning it clockwise approximately 30-40 times. Once wound, set the correct time and date by pulling the crown to the appropriate positions.
Compatibility:
- Strap Size: The stainless steel strap has a length of 21 cm and a width of 20 mm. Ensure this length is suitable for your wrist or consider professional adjustment.
- Movement: Powered by an automatic movement, it is compatible with standard timekeeping.
Care:
- Winding: For optimal performance, wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day. If not worn regularly, manual winding every 1-2 days is recommended to maintain the 41-hour power reserve.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated water, and dry thoroughly.
- Water Resistance: While rated for 100 meters (10 bar), it is advisable to have the water resistance checked periodically, especially if frequently exposed to water. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down before exposure to water.
- Storage: Store in its original gift box or a watch case when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches.
