CHENXI Automatic Mechanical Watch User Manual

1. Introducció

Congratulations on your purchase of the CHENXI CX-8876 Automatic Mechanical Watch. This timepiece combines classic design with intricate mechanical movements, offering features such as a moon phase display, 24-hour sub-dial, visible flywheel, and luminous hands. This manual will guide you through the setup, operation, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your watch.

2. Configuració

2.1 Enrotllament inicial

Your CHENXI CX-8876 watch is an automatic mechanical timepiece. While it self-winds with wrist movement, it requires an initial manual winding to start. To do this:

1. Assegureu-vos que la corona estigui a la posició 1 (completament empenta cap a dins).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. You may hear a slight clicking sound. This will build up enough power reserve to start the watch.
3. Once started, regular wear (typically 8-10 hours a day) will keep the watch wound. If the watch stops due to lack of movement, repeat the manual winding process.

2.2 Setting Time and Features

The watch features a spiral crown for adjustments. Refer to the diagram below for visual guidance:

1. Hora de configuració: Pull the crown out to position 3 (farthest out). Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back to position 1 when done.
2. Setting 24-Hour Sub-dial: The 24-hour sub-dial typically synchronizes with the main time display. Adjusting the main time will automatically adjust this sub-dial.
3. Setting Moon Phase: The moon phase pointer changes as the hour hand rotates. This feature is usually adjusted by rotating the main time hands past 24 hours or via a dedicated pusher (if present, not explicitly shown for this model, so assume linked to main time).

2.3 Strap Adjustment (for Steel Band Models)

If your watch comes with a steel band, you may need to adjust its length. Follow these steps carefully:

3. Instruccions de funcionament

3.1 Moviment automàtic

The CHENXI CX-8876 is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. This means the watch is wound by the natural motion of your wrist. When worn regularly, the rotor inside the watch moves, winding the mainspring and providing power. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it will stop and require manual winding to restart.

3.2 Watch Features

• Visualització de la fase lunar: The sub-dial indicating the moon phase changes in sync with the main time, reflecting the lunar cycle.
• Subesfera de 24 hores: Provides a 24-hour indication, useful for tracking day/night or a second time zone.
• Visible Flywheel (Tourbillon/Skeleton): The open-heart design showcases the intricate mechanical movement, specifically the balance wheel, often referred to as a 'flywheel' or 'tourbillon' in this context, highlighting the watch's craftsmanship.
• Pantalla lluminosa: The watch hands and hour markers are coated with a luminous material, allowing for readability in low-light conditions after absorbing light from daylight or artificial sources.

3.3 Resistència a l'aigua

This watch is rated for 3 Bar (3ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as splashes, rain, or hand washing. It is NOT suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any water-related work. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.

4. Manteniment i cura

4.1 Routine Care

4.2 Consells generals de cura

• Neteja: Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and perspiration. For leather straps, avoid excessive moisture.
• Temperatura: Eviteu exposar el rellotge a temperatures extremes (calor o fred) o canvis sobtats de temperatura, ja que això pot afectar el moviment i les juntes.
• Camps magnètics: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones, airport security scanners), as magnetism can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.
• Impacte: While durable, avoid dropping your watch or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Productes químics: Eviteu el contacte amb dissolvents, detergents, perfums i productes cosmètics, ja que poden danyar la caixa, la corretja o els segells.

5. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your watch, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Mira No Corrent: If the watch has stopped, it likely needs to be wound. Manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise 20-30 times. If it still doesn't start, ensure it's not completely out of power reserve from prolonged inactivity.
• Temps inexacte: Mechanical watches can be affected by magnetism or severe impacts. If the time is consistently fast or slow, try demagnetizing the watch (a watchmaker can do this) or consult a professional. Ensure it's adequately wound.
• Condensació dins del cristall: Small amounts of condensation that disappear quickly are usually harmless. However, if large droplets appear or condensation persists, it indicates water ingress. Stop using the watch immediately and take it to a watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent damage to the movement.
• Problemes de corretja: For leather straps, cracking or discoloration can occur with age and exposure to moisture. For steel bands, ensure all pins are securely in place after adjustment.

6. Especificacions

Note: All dimensions are manual measurements, there may be a reasonable error (strap error 5mm, other error 2mm).

7. Consells d'usuari

• Desgast habitual: To maintain the power reserve of your automatic watch, wear it regularly. If you alternate watches, consider a watch winder to keep it running.
• Avoid Over-Winding: While automatic watches have mechanisms to prevent over-winding, excessive manual winding is generally unnecessary once the watch is running.
• Setting Time Safely: Avoid setting the date or other complications between 9 PM and 3 AM, as the gears for these functions are engaged during this period and manual adjustment can cause damage. Always set the time forward, not backward, if possible.
• Servei professional: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic servicing (every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to clean, lubricate, and adjust the movement.

8. Garantia i assistència
