Instruccions de funcionament

The Miyota FS26 movement typically operates with a crown (stem) and two pushers (buttons) on the side of the watch case. The exact configuration may vary depending on the watch design.

Posicions de la corona:

• Position 0 (Normal): Crown pushed in completely. Watch runs normally.
• Position 1 (Pulled out one click): Used for setting the date.
• Position 2 (Pulled out two clicks): Used for setting the time.

Configuració de l'hora:

1. Estireu la corona fins a la posició 2. La maneta dels segons s'aturarà.
2. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. Push the crown back to Position 0. The second hand will resume movement.

Configuració de la data:

1. Estireu la corona cap a la posició 1.
2. Turn the crown (usually clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the watch) to advance the date to the desired number.
3. Push the crown back to Position 0.

Nota: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.

Funcionament del cronògraf:

The FS26 movement features a chronograph with a 60-second sub-dial (typically at 6 o'clock or 9 o'clock) and a 24-hour sub-dial (typically at 3 o'clock or 12 o'clock), along with the main second hand for chronograph timing.

• Inici: Press the upper pusher (Button A) to start the chronograph. The main second hand will begin to move, and the 60-second sub-dial will track minutes.
• Atura: Press the upper pusher (Button A) again to stop the chronograph. Read the elapsed time from the main second hand and the 60-second sub-dial.
• Restablir: After stopping, press the lower pusher (Button B) to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.

Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Miyota FS26 movement.

Substitució de la bateria:

• When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping (End-of-Life indicator), the battery needs replacement.
• Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watchmaker to avoid damaging the movement and to ensure proper sealing of the watch case.
• Use the correct battery type as specified for the FS26 movement (e.g., SR626SW).
