SWISS CRAFTMANSHIP

Inside the MSAR Auto automatic is a Swiss-made, 26 jewels Marathon M2 Self- Winding Automatic. These watches are hand-assembled in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland and guarantee the highest level of craftsmanship and accuracy.

GENERAL OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE

1. Priming the movement.
   Your MSAR Auto is charged via the movement of your wrist. Out of the box, gently move your watch back and forth to charge up the movement. Avoid hand- winding where necessary, as this could cause damage to the movement.

2. Clean watch often.
   Clean regularly using rubbing alcohol, a toothbrush and a microfibre cloth.

3. Always set it forward.
   During events such as daylight-savings, you might be inclined to wind your watch back an hour, however this can put undue stress on the movement of your watch. Always move the hands forward to reach your desired time setting.

4. Service regularly.
   Regular servicing every four to six years will help to keep your movement running with Marathon-level precision. For servicing requests, contact our team directly at customerservice@marathonwatch.com

SETTING THE TIME

1. Unscrew and pull the crown from position 1 to position 4.
2. Turn the crown counter clockwise to adjust the time.
3. Ensure correct AM/PM settings so that the date wheel changes at midnight and not mid-day.

SETTING THE DATE

1. Unscrew and pull the crown from position 1 to position 3.
2. Turn the crown clockwise to change the date.
   CAUTION: Do not adjust the date wheel between 9pm and 3am as this may damage the watch movement.

LOCKING THE CROWN

From position 2, push the crown into position 1 and rotate clockwise to lock the crown back into place.
NOTE: The MSAR Auto was designed to automatically hand-wind the watch while screwing in the crown. Avoid hand-winding where necessary as this could cause damage to the movement.

TIMING BEZEL

1. Rotate your bezel counterclockwise and align the 12 o’clock bezel marker with the minute hand. This will set your start time.
2. Measure the minute hand against the bezel markers to count the elapsed time.
   NOTE: When diving, use your dive watch as a support device alongside the recommended diving tools suggested by PADI or BSAC.
