FAQs
What does 10 ATM water resistance mean?
10 ATM (100 meters) means the watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. It is not recommended for scuba diving or high-velocity water sports.
How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the bracelet. For stubborn dirt, you can use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is the mineral glass truly scratch-proof?
Hardened mineral glass offers good scratch resistance for daily wear, but it is not entirely scratch-proof. Very hard materials or impacts can still cause scratches or damage.
What is the primary material of the watch case and bracelet?
The watch case and bracelet are made of stainless steel.
Can I wear this watch while diving?
No, a 10 ATM rating is not sufficient for professional diving. It is intended for surface water activities.
How should I maintain the gold-colored finish?
Gently polish the gold-colored parts with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could wear away the plating or finish.
Troubleshooting
Watch is not running
If it's a manual or automatic movement, it may need winding. If it's a quartz movement, check if the battery needs replacement.
Condensation under the glass
This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Have the seals checked by a professional watchmaker immediately.
Difficulty setting time/date
Refer to the specific crown operation for your model. Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position before attempting to adjust.
Scratches on the glass
While hardened mineral glass is scratch-resistant, deep scratches may require professional polishing or glass replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is an analog watch and typically requires no complex setup beyond setting the time and date. To set the time, gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch case) outwards to the first or second position (depending on the model's functions) and rotate it to the desired time. Push the crown back in to ensure water resistance.
Compatibility: As a standalone watch, it has no electronic compatibility requirements.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on the gold-colored parts, as they can damage the finish.
- Water Resistance: After exposure to salt water or chemicals, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before exposing it to water. The water resistance rating is based on laboratory conditions and may decrease over time due to gasket wear.
- Storage: Store the watch in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
