MANTA NB6032 Meteorite Watch Instruction Manual

MANTA NB6032 Meteorite Watch

The enclosed Limited Edition timepiece incorporates a dial carved from a piece of the Muonionalusta Meteorite, a meteorite which impacted Earth northern Scandinavia, west of the border between Sweden and Finland, about one million years BC.

Studies have shown it to be the oldest discovered meteorite impacting the Earth and it is believed to be as 4 Billion years old.

It is quite clearly part of the iron core or mantle of a planetoid, which shattered into many pieces upon its fall on our planet.

Crafted by billions of years by the forces of the Universe each meteorite is a truly unique piece of space history.

Each dial is utterly unique and represents its own intriguing lattice of naturally occurring – Widmanstätten patterns, cutting light and shadow across the face of the dial.

AUTOMATIC WATCHES

This timepiece is equipped with a self-winding Mechanical Automatic movement.

It does not need a battery. It is powered by the motions of the user’s own wrist during the wear of the watch automatically. You may also choose to wind the watch manually.

Before wearing your watch, make sure to wind it clockwise with 10 rotations of the crown.

For good measure gently move the watch side to side around 30 times to see the seconds hand run at its normal speed.

Please make sure to remember that during a period when you are not wearing the watch, the power reserve of movement will wear down and you will have to re- wind the watch again before wearing.

EN PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE UNSCREWING THE CROWN

SCREW-DOWN CROWN

This watch is equipped with a screw down crown. Do not pull the crown unless it is unscrewed 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.

AUTOMATIC 3 HANDS WITH DATE

As your watch has a screw down crown feature, release the watch from the screw-down position before setting.

TIME SETTING

1. Pull the crown out to position 3, its maximum extension. The second hand will stop moving.
2. Turn the crown either clockwise or anti-clockwise until the watch hands are positioned at the desired time.
3. When the desired time is reached push the crown back to position 1 and screw down if applicable.

NOTE: When the hour hand passes 12 o’clock and the date changes, the watch is set at midnight. If the date does not change, it is set at noon.

DATE SETTING

1. Pull the crown out to position 2.

2. Turn the crown clockwise or anti-clockwise until the desired date is shown
   in the date window.

3. When the desired date is reached push the crown back to position 1 and screw down if applicable.

NOTE: Do not change the date between 10pm and 2am as this may damage the movement.

HELIUM RELEASE VALVE

This NUBEO timepiece is equipped with a Helium Release Valve.

It provides functionality for professional divers operating at great depths for prolonged periods of time or under saturation.

When commercial divers operate at great depths, they often spend prolonged hours in diving bells under pressure breathing a breathing gas that contains the gases helium or hydrogen. Since helium atoms are the smallest natural gas particles found in nature, these gas atoms are able to work their way inside the watch, around any o-rings or other seals the watch may feature.  This is not a problem as long as the divers stay under pressure, but when the decompression stops during resurfacing a pressure difference builds up between the trapped gas inside the watch case and its environment. Depending on the construction of the watch case and crystal, this effect can cause damage to the watch, such as the crystal popping off.

The helium release valve does not need any manual intervention or adjustment; it automatically releases the helium or hydrogen used in the breathing gas mix trapped inside the watch case.

Please make sure to employ the screw-down crown on your timepiece for maximum water protection.

HOW TO USE A DEPLOYMENT CLASP

WATER RESISTANT

All Nubeo timepieces are designed with a minimum water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50m). The water-resistance of a timepiece protects the movement from dust, moisture, and risk of damage to the movement should it be immersed in water.

Please see chart for guidelines for the recommended exposure of various water ratings.

It is important not to attempt to adjust the position of the crown while the timepiece is in contact with water. Water can enter the case causing damage to the movement.

For timepiece with screw-down crowns, it is important to ensure the crown is in the proper position and completely locked before contact with water.

For timepieces with chronograph functions, do not engage the chronograph under water, as water may leak in the case and cause damage to the movement.

USE PRECAUTIONS – RESISTANCE TO WATER

All Nubeo timepiece are designed to withstand use as indicated on the following chart. Always make sure the crown is screwed-down completely before use.

CARE AND PRECAUTIONS

Each Nubeo timepiece is designed and manufactured to exceed the highest of standards. In order to ensure optimal performance and longevity from your timepiece, please review the simple guidelines for care and precautions of your new Nubeo timepiece.

CARE

Your timepiece should be cleaned with a soft cloth and water only. Do not submerge your timepiece. Your timepiece should be rinsed clean and dried with a soft cloth after any saltwater use. In order to maintain the `new look’ of metal bracelets, we recommend periodic cleanings of the bracelet. Dip a soft brush in warm soapy water and gently rub bracelet clean. We advise having your timepiece serviced every 18-24 months to ensure long use and trouble-free operation.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MECHANICAL AND AUTOMATIC WATCHES

When manually winding a watch always turn the crown in a clockwise direction.

Do not force the crown when you feel the spring become tense toward the end of the winding process.

Daily winding is recommended even if you believe that your watch has enough power, its always a good idea to give your mechanical watch a quick wind before wearing it for the day.

Automatic watches can also be manually wound by turning the crown clockwise in position 1. It is recommended that if your watch has completely run out of power you manually wind it (with about 10 turns) before wearing.

Try to avoid exposing your watch to strong magnetic sources (for example, smartphones, loudspeakers) as these may have an adverse effect on the movement.
