RG8051 Locust Automatic Watch
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE UNSCREWING THE CROWN:
SCREW-DOWN CROWN
Screw-down crowns are used to ensure water resistance. ALWAYS be certain
that your crown is securely screwed down ( Position [0] is secured.
Positions [1], [2] and [3] are not secured for water resistance ).
Do NOT unscrew your crown while you are in any environment where moisture
is present.
USING THE SCREW-DOWN CROWN
DO NOT PULL THE CROWN UNLESS IT IS FIRST:
TO UNSCREW: Turn the crown anti-clockwise until it turns freely without tension. GENTLY pull the crown out to the other desired positions for watch setting (see specific operating instructions on the following pages).
TO SCREW: Push the crown ALL THE WAY IN (towards the watch) THEN begin to
turn clockwise until it is securely screwed down.
NOTE: Failure to SECURELY screw down the crown after setting the watch
may affect its water resistance.
BEFORE YOU USE THIS WATCH, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU MANUALLY WIND THE
MAINSPRING TO START IT MOVING.
THIS WATCH IS AN AUTOMATIC WATCH EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL WINDING MECHANISM.
WINDING THE MAINSPRING
- Unscrew the crown by turning it anti-clockwise.
- When it is in position [1], turn the crown clockwise to wind. Wind 5-10 times and it will start to move naturally after shaking slightly.
- Push the crown in then screw it securely.
- This watch MUST be worn for at least 8 (Eight) hours each day to ensure it is fully wound. An automatic watch will only wind when the watch is on your wrist and your arm moves. Winding the watch by the crown will put power on the spring but not enough to allow the watch to function fully. If your watch stops overnight or loses time it means it is not being fully wound.
HOW TO SET THE TIME
- Unscrew the crown and pull it out to position [3]-(2nd click).
- Turn the crown clockwise to set the correct time.
- Push the crown in then screw it securely.
-
Take a.m./p.m. into consideration when setting the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
-
Always be certain that your crown is SECURELY SCREWED; this will prevent moisture from entering in.
HOW TO SET THE DATE- Unscrew the crown and pull it out to position [2]-(1st click).
- Turn the crown anti-clockwise to set the correct date.
- Push the crown in then screw it securely.
-
Do not set the date between 9:00 P.M. and 4:00 A.M.
WATER RESISTANCE
The water resistance indicated on your timepiece serves only as a guide.
Actual water resistance may vary depending on a number of important factors
including temperature, water salinity, and actual use under water.
The water resistance of your timepiece may eventually be compromised over time
with general wear and tear and the use of your watch under adverse conditions.
Always remember to employ the screw down crown (if available) to maintain the
water resistance of your timepiece. Warranty may be voided if the screw
downdrawn has not been properly employed.
Note that you should NEVER wear your watch in a jacuzzi, hot shower or
steam room where steam may enter the case despite the watertight seals used to
protect your watch.
The steam may cause condensation inside your watch, which may affect and
damage the inner workings of your watch – which would also not be covered by
the warranty.
