Funcionament del rellotge

Automatic Movement (ETA 2826-2)

Your UMF RUHLA NVA 1952-M2 watch is powered by an ETA 2826-2 automatic movement. This movement is self-winding, meaning it gains power from the motion of your wrist. When worn regularly, it will maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding as described in the "Setup" section.

Bisell giratori unidireccional

The watch features a black ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel is designed for timing events, particularly dive times. To use it:

1. Rotate the bezel counter-clockwise until the triangular marker aligns with the minute hand.
2. La maneta dels minuts indicarà el temps transcorregut contra l'escala del bisell.
3. The unidirectional design prevents accidental increases in elapsed time, which is crucial for diver safety.

Resistència a l'aigua (1000 m / 100 ATM)

The NVA 1952-M2 is rated for 1000 meters (100 ATM) of water resistance and features a helium release valve (often referred to as "helium style" in product descriptions, indicating its design for saturation diving). This makes it suitable for professional diving activities. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water.

Pantalla lluminosa

The watch dial features applied indices and hands with green Luminova for excellent readability in low-light conditions. The seconds hand has an orange fluorescent tip, and the ceramic bezel's luminous point glows light blue in the dark.

Manteniment

• Neteja: Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with fresh water and thorough drying. Ensure the crown is screwed down before cleaning with water.
• Resistència a l'aigua: While highly water-resistant, it is recommended to have the watch's water resistance seals checked periodically (e.g., every 2-3 years) by a qualified watchmaker, especially if frequently used for diving.
• Eviteu temperatures extremes: Do not expose the watch to sudden and extreme temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and seals.
• Camps magnètics: Mantingueu el rellotge allunyat de camps magnètics forts (per exemple, altaveus, neveres, certs dispositius electrònics), ja que el magnetisme pot afectar la precisió dels moviments mecànics.
• Emmagatzematge: When not wearing the watch, store it in its original box or a watch winder to maintain its power reserve.

Resolució de problemes

• El rellotge s'ha aturat: If the watch has stopped, manually wind it using the crown (Position 1) for 20-30 turns. If it still does not start, ensure it is being worn regularly enough for the automatic movement to function.
• Date Changes at Noon: This indicates the watch's time is set for PM when it should be AM, or vice-versa. Advance the time by 12 hours when setting the date (Position 2) or time (Position 3).
• Cronometratge incorrecte: Minor variations in timekeeping are normal for mechanical watches. If the inaccuracy is significant, ensure the watch has sufficient power reserve. If the issue persists, it may require servicing by a professional watchmaker.
• Crown Not Screwing Down: Ensure the crown is properly aligned with the threads before attempting to screw it down. Do not force it. If it still won't screw down, do not expose the watch to water and seek professional assistance.
