How often does the battery need to be replaced?
Battery life typically ranges from 2-5 years, depending on usage of features like the chronograph. A watchmaker can replace the battery.
What does 'tonneau silhouette' mean?

Can I adjust the stainless steel bracelet myself?
While minor adjustments might be possible with the right tools, it is recommended to have a jeweler or watch professional adjust the bracelet to ensure a proper fit and avoid damage.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is running slow.
Ensure the watch is wound (if mechanical/automatic) or the battery is not depleted (if quartz). If it's an automatic, wear it regularly. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement or the movement requires servicing.
Chronograph buttons are stiff or unresponsive.
Ensure no debris is lodged around the pushers. Try gently pressing them a few times. If the problem continues, professional servicing may be required.
Difficulty reading time in low light.
Expose the watch to light for a few minutes to 'charge' the luminous elements. Ensure the watch is functioning correctly, as luminous material can fade over time.
The date is not changing correctly.
Ensure you are not trying to set the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the issue persists, it may require professional adjustment.
