Product Usage Instructions
Setting the Time with Push Crowns:
- Pull the crown out fully (2 stops); turn in either direction to set. Push in to restart the watch. After setting the time, be certain to push in the crown fully to ensure water resistance!
Setting the Date or Time with Screw-Down Crowns:
- Setting the date and time with a screw-down crown watch is the same as above; however, to pull out the crown, you must first unscrew the crown by turning it in a counterclockwise direction until the crown is released from the threaded tube. After adjusting the date and/or time, push the crown in, and screw it down in a clockwise direction until the crown is sealed tightly to ensure water resistance.
Using the Diving Bezel (uni-directional):
- Rotate the bezel counterclockwise until the 0 on the bezel lines up with the minute hand. Track elapsed time by checking the minute hand against bezel numbers, not the dial numbers. For night timing, set the 0 on the bezel at the desired number of elapsed minutes from the minute hand position. Diving bezels are meant to turn counterclockwise only. Never force the bezel to rotate clockwise.
General Care and Maintenance Guidelines:
- Periodic maintenance is recommended for your timepiece. Rinse your watch in fresh water occasionally, especially after immersion in salt water. Crystals should be replaced immediately if cracked, chipped, or loose.
- Water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed. Avoid extreme sudden changes in temperature, accidental shocks, and exposure to certain chemicals, and do not operate the crown and/or pushers underwater.
- After use in salt water, rinse with clear fresh water, clean, and dry. Do not open the watch by yourself.

INSTRUCTIONS
QUARTZ MOVEMENTS
- To Set the Date with Push Crowns: Pull out the crown one stop. Turn the crown clockwise until the day/date displayed is the day before the actual date you want to set. (For example, if today’s date is the 2nd, advance the date wheel to read the 1st). Then pull the crown out to the second stop and rotate the crown advancing time forward, adjusting the hands until you reach midnight. Continue to rotate the crown to your current time. If it is in the afternoon, you will need to rotate the hour hand past noon, the midday position. After setting the date, be certain to push the crown in fully to ensure water resistance!
- To Set the Time with Push Crowns: Pull the crown out fully (2 stops); turn in either direction to set. Push in to restart the watch. After setting the time, be certain to push in the crown fully to ensure water resistance!
- To set the Date or Time with Screw-Down Crowns: Setting the date and time with a screw-down crown watch is the same as above; however to pull out the crown you must first “unscrew” the crown by turning it in a counterclockwise direction until the crown releases from the threaded tube. After adjusting the date and/or time, push the crown in and screw it down in a clockwise direction until the crown is sealed in a tight position to ensure water resistance.
- To use the Diving Bezel (uni-directional) : Rotate the bezel counterclockwise until the 0 on the bezel lines up with the minute hand. Track elapsed time by checking the minute hand against bezel numbers, not the dial numbers.
Note : For night timing, set the 0 on the bezel at the desired number of elapsed minutes from the minute hand position. Although the numbers will not be counting down, the 0 mark is the point to which you are moving. Diving bezels are meant to turn counterclockwise only. Never force the bezel to rotate clockwise.
Note : Not all Luminox watch models will have a diving bezel.
GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
- Like any other piece of equipment, it is recommended that periodic maintenance be performed on your timepiece. Observing the basic care and maintenance guidelines outlined below, in conjunction with periodic service center cleanings, should ensure the reliability and prolonged performance of your timepiece.
Cleaning
- You should rinse your watch in fresh water occasionally to remove any sediment or other material that may accumulate on the watch case or underneath the watch bezel during use.
- This is especially important after immersion in salt water.
Crystals
- Luminox watches are made with tempered mineral glass crystals, or sapphire glass crystals, depending on the specific model. Sapphire glass crystals are highly scratch-resistant; while mineral glass crystals, though scratch-resistant, are softer in composition and may exhibit surface marring over time. A cracked, chipped, or loose crystal should be replaced immediately.
Water resistance
- Luminox watches are water resistant and tested for pressures from 10 to 50 ATM, depending on the model (as indicated on the case back of your watch), which is equal to a pressure at 100 to 500 meters depth. The water resistance is rated based on laboratory pressure tests comparable to a swimmer or diver sitting still at that pressure level. However many water-based activities involve a lot of movement and other environmental changes which may challenge or defeat the water protection features of a water-resistant watch.
- Water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed. Extreme sudden changes in temperature, an accidental shock to the watch, even invisible by eye on crystal, crown or pushers, or exposure to certain chemicals containing alcohol (suncream etc) causing the gaskets in your watch to dry out prematurely, might compromise the water resistance of your timepiece.
- Except for the turning bezel, the crown and/or pushers should never be operated underwater. Before wearing the watch in or under water, please ensure that all moving parts are in rest position and that the crown has been pushed or screwed down tightly. After use in salt water, your watch should be rinsed with clear fresh water and then cleaned and dried. Do not under any circumstances open the watch by yourself.
- During sudden temperature variations, condensation may appear underneath the crystal of your watch. This light fogging should dissipate on its own and will not affect the operation of the movement in your watch.
We recommend that you have the water-resistance of your watch inspected every 18-24 months by an Authorized Luminox Dealer.
Battery
All Luminox quartz watches come with a 1.5-volt or Lithium 3-volt battery (depending on the model). A 1.5-volt battery will last approximately 18-36 months and a 3-volt battery will last approximately 36-72 months. Most Luminox movements have an EOL (end of life) feature to indicate limited remaining battery life. When the second hand on your watch stops and then jumps forward four (4) seconds at a time, it is time to have your battery changed. Do not under any circumstances open the watch by yourself, please visit an Authorized Luminox Service Centre.
Leather Straps
If the words “water resistant” are imprinted on the inside of your strap, it
has been treated to resist moisture. The longevity of a leather strap depends
on your wearing habits, the care of the strap, and the climate in which you
reside in. It is normal for the leather of your strap to darken with use over
time.
