FAQs
What is an automatic watch?
An automatic watch is a mechanical watch that powers itself through the natural motion of the wearer's wrist. It uses a rotor that spins with movement to wind the mainspring, which in turn powers the watch.
How do I set the time and date on my watch?
Gently pull the crown out to the second position (it will click). Turn the crown to set the desired time. If your watch has a date function, pull the crown to the first position and turn it to set the date. Always push the crown back in completely.
How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
Generally, automatic watches benefit from professional servicing every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of internal components.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
The watch has 5 ATM water resistance, which is suitable for splashes and brief immersion. It is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged contact with water.
How do I clean the crystal-embellished bezel?
Gently wipe the bezel with a very soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the crystals or their settings.
What material is the watch case and bracelet made of?
The watch case and bracelet are made of stainless steel with an IP black coating.
Does the watch come with a warranty?
Please refer to the official Philipp Plein warranty information provided with your purchase for details on coverage and duration.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is losing time.
Ensure the watch is being worn regularly (8-10 hours a day) or manually wind the crown if it has stopped. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.
Crown is difficult to turn or pull out.
Gently try to turn the crown. If it remains stiff, do not force it. Check for any debris around the crown area. It may require professional lubrication.
Scratches on the stainless steel case or bracelet.
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out by a professional watchmaker. Avoid abrasive materials during cleaning.
Loss of water resistance (fogging under the crystal).
This indicates a breach in water resistance. Do not use the watch and take it to an authorized service center immediately for inspection and repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the movement of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, you will need to wind the crown manually. Gently pull the crown out to the first position and turn it clockwise several times until you feel some resistance. Then, push the crown back in. For optimal performance, wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day.
Compatibility:
As a timepiece, this watch is universally compatible with your personal style. Its functionalities are self-contained.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to maintain its shine. For the stainless steel bracelet and case, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Water Resistance: Avoid exposing the watch to prolonged submersion in water, steam, or high humidity environments, despite its 5 ATM rating. Ensure the crown is always pushed in fully to maintain water resistance.
- Crystal Bezel: Handle with care to avoid scratching or dislodging the crystals. Avoid direct contact with chemicals, perfumes, or cosmetics that could damage the finish or crystals.
