Set the time: Move crown to position 2 and turn.
Winding the watch manually: Keep the crown in position 1 and turn it clockwise. Only do 1-5 full rotations or until you meet slight resistance. More and you risk breaking the movement.
Additional information: This watch is mechanical, meaning it consists of mechanical parts and no battery. Instead, it's powered by a spring that needs to be wound. This is an automatic mechanical watch, which means it'll wind itself using your momentum. Since you probably don't move that much during the night, and some people have more active jobs than others, it’s a good idea to get into the habit of winding the watch slightly every morning.
Most watches have some level of water resistance. If your watch isn’t water resistant, it may be able to handle small splashes, but don’t risk it. If it has a leather strap, don’t get it wet.
1 ATM / 10 meters This watch can't withstand any contact with water.
3 ATM / 30 meters This watch can easily cope with rain and splashes of water.
5 ATM / 50 meters This watch is safe to wear in the shower or while swimming.
10 ATM / 100 meters This watch is water resistant enough for snorkeling.
20+ ATM / 200+ meters This watch is safe for any underwater activity, like scuba diving.
Pocket watches are designed to be carried around in your pocket and rarely feature significant water resistance.
Rule of thumb: Make sure your watch is the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. - Take your watch off and store it safely before engaging in any activity that could damage it. - Take it off before engaging in any activity likely to make you sweat. - Take it off before you shower, bathe, or go for a swim. - Take it off before cooking or cleaning. - Take it off before you go to bed. - Don’t expose your watch to chemicals such as cologne, sunscreen, perfume, chlorine, hair gel, etc., as these can discolor, stain, or dull surfaces. - Try to store your watch separately in a soft enclosure to prevent scratching and rubbing. - If your watch has closures or clasps, close these to prevent tangling. - Keep your watch stored in a dry, dark place, and avoid heat fluctuation.
If you take care of your watch and store it correctly, you should enjoy years of precision timekeeping. But even with the best care possible, you may find that your watch needs some extra attention from time to time. Below are some common issues. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, our Customer Service team is only an email or a phone call away.
If your new watch isn’t running, make sure you’ve removed the plastic piece between the crown (the knob on the side) and the case. Remove it and push the crown into its normal position.
The sudden impact of a fall may have caused a broken axle. If that’s the case, you’ll need a professional to repair or replace it.
The best way to avoid water getting into the watch case is never to operate the buttons or turn or pull the crown out in wet conditions. Even if your watch is water resistant or waterproof, humidity can get into the case as these parts move. Always make sure to close the crown properly before exposing your watch to water.
If you have droplets forming on the inside of the crystal or the crystal looks foggy, open the crown and place the watch in direct sunlight with the crown facing up and the dial facing the sun. Leave it this way for a few hours. If it’s a quartz watch and it has stopped working, the movement may be damaged beyond repair. Take it to your local professional for diagnosis and repair.
Automatic watches are self-winding and require physical activity (movement) to wind. If you’re not moving enough, the watch can’t build up energy to run. If you’re stationary for long periods, carefully wind the crown until you feel slight resistance, and stop.
All automatic watches will run out of power if you don't move them. They'll typically unwind and stop after 36 - 48 hours. Store your automatic watch in a watch winder case to keep it moving. Keep in mind that letting the power reserve run out is not a bad thing and won't damage your watch.
Automatic watches need to be wound to start working, either by wearing them while moving to wind the mainspring or by manually rotating the crown. If your watch is fully wound but runs slow, it may be time for a maintenance check. We recommend a service check from your local professional.
A slow or stopped watch can be caused by shock, magnetism, temperature, or even age. Watches also need lubrication to run smoothly. Check with your local professional to pinpoint the issue.
There are several possible reasons for your watch running fast. It may have been dropped or magnetized. Either can move the hairspring out of alignment. A local professional can diagnose and repair the issue.
To keep the warranty on your watch valid, don’t expose it to water past the rated limit and make sure you keep the receipt.
