2. Configuració
2.1 Initial Winding (If Watch Has Stopped)
Your automatic watch is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped due to lack of movement, it needs to be manually wound to restart. To do this, rotate the crown clockwise approximately 40 times. This will build up enough power reserve to start the watch and allow the automatic movement to take over with regular wear.
2.2 Configuració de l'hora
- Pull the crown out to the furthest position.
- Gireu la corona per ajustar les agulles de les hores i els minuts a l'hora correcta.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position to engage the movement.
2.3 Ajust de la corretja
The black genuine leather band features an adjustable buckle for a comfortable fit. If the band requires significant adjustment (e.g., link removal for a metal bracelet version, though this model has a leather strap), it is recommended to visit a professional jeweler to ensure proper adjustment without damaging the watch or band.

3. Instruccions de funcionament
3.1 Moviment automàtic
This watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. This means it does not require a battery. The movement is powered by the kinetic energy generated by the natural motion of your arm. When worn regularly, the watch will remain wound and keep accurate time. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding as described in the "Setup" section.
3.2 Resistència a l'aigua
The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming and showering. It is no recommended for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water to maintain water resistance.

- El temps és inexacte:
- Ensure the watch is fully wound (see "Initial Winding"). Insufficient power reserve can lead to inaccurate timekeeping.
- Check if the watch has been exposed to strong magnetic fields. If so, demagnetization by a professional watchmaker may be required.
