FAQs
What does the tachymeter bezel do?
The tachymeter bezel is used in conjunction with the chronograph to measure speed over a set distance. For example, if you time yourself traveling one mile, the bezel can indicate your average speed in miles per hour.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
Yes, with a water resistance of 100 meters, this watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Ensure the crown is securely in place before entering the water.
How do I set the date?
Pull the crown out to the first position (usually). Rotate the crown to set the date. It's best to do this when the watch time is between 3 AM and 9 PM to avoid damaging the date mechanism.
Is this watch suitable for diving?
While it has 100m water resistance, this watch is not designed for professional scuba diving. It is suitable for surface water sports but not for deep-sea diving.
How often does the battery need to be replaced?
For quartz models, battery life typically ranges from 2 to 5 years, depending on usage and battery type. A professional watchmaker should perform battery replacements.
What is the case size?
The case size is 44mm in diameter.
Troubleshooting
Watch is not keeping accurate time.
Ensure the watch is wound if it's an automatic movement, or check if the battery needs replacement for quartz models. Avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields.
Chronograph buttons are stiff or not functioning.
Ensure the crown is pulled out before attempting to use chronograph functions, and then push it back in fully. If the issue persists, professional servicing may be required.
Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure you are not trying to change the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the date-changing mechanism. Adjust the time to the correct AM/PM cycle and then set the date.
Condensation under the crystal.
This may indicate a compromised water seal. Have the watch checked by a professional immediately to prevent further damage.
