Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown out to the second click and rotate it until the hands reach the desired position. To set the day and date, pull the crown to the first click and turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on the setting. As a mechanical watch, avoid subjecting it to extreme magnetic fields or violent shocks, as these can impact the accuracy of the internal springs. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the case and rinse the nylon strap with fresh water if it has been exposed to salt water or excessive sweat. Periodic servicing every 3-5 years is recommended to keep the movement lubricated and accurate.
