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 a position [1], turn the crown clockwise to the 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.
- The 24-hour hand moves correspondingly with the hour hand.
- When setting the hour hand, check that the 24 hour hand is correctly set.
HOW TO SET THE DATE
- Unscrew the crown and pull it out to position [2].
- 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.
USING THE WORLD CITIES TURNING BEZEL
The rotating bezel may feature the names of the major city around the world in
the sequence of time differences.
Using this bezel you may be able to read and keep track of time in another
(2nd) timezone.
The approximate time of all the major cities can be determined by using the
rotating bezel.
Example: Perhaps you want to know the time of Paris while in Tokyo.
[The main time display is set according to the time in Tokyo.]
- Read and change the present time [hour] into 24-hour format. [10 o’clock p.m. 22:00]
- Adjust the city name [Tokyo = TYO] above the rotating bezel to 22:00 of 24-hour-scale.
- You can determine the time of Paris [= PAR] is 14:00 [2:00 p.m.] by reading the 24-hour scale corresponding to the position of the city name displayed above the rotating bezel.
The time difference between major cities is in hours only, the minutes remain the same. You can find out the time of other cities in the same way, however, be sure to account for daylight savings time as this cannot be calculated using the bezel ring.
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 underwater.
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. The warranty may be voided if the screw-
down crown 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.
HOW TO USE A DEPLOYMENT CLASP
- Flip the cover.
- Press the buttons on the clasp sides.
HOW TO RESIZE A METAL BRACELET
On the inside of the bracelet, you will see some small arrows engraved on removable links.
