Configuració

1. Enrotllament inicial

Your automatic watch is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or is running low on power, it needs to be manually wound to initiate operation:

1. Assegureu-vos que la corona estigui en la seva posició normal, empenta cap a dins.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. You may hear a slight clicking sound. This provides enough power reserve to start the watch.
3. Once started, wearing the watch regularly will keep it wound through your natural wrist movements.

2. Configuració de l'hora

Per configurar l'hora del rellotge:

1. Pull the crown out to its outermost position (position 2). The second hand may stop.
2. Rotate the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. Once the correct time is set, push the crown back into its normal position (position 0). The second hand will resume movement.

3. Ajust de la corretja

The stainless steel mesh strap features a deployment clasp for secure and comfortable wear. To adjust the length:

1. Open the deployment clasp.
2. Locate the small lever or clasp mechanism on the underside of the strap.
3. Carefully lift the lever to unlock the adjustable part of the clasp.
4. Slide the clasp along the mesh strap to achieve the desired fit.
5. Press the lever back down firmly to secure the clasp in its new position. Ensure it clicks into place to prevent accidental loosening.

Funcionament del rellotge

Moviment automàtic

This watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. It does not require a battery. The movement is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. When worn daily, the watch will self-wind and maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (typically 36-40 hours), it may stop and will require manual winding as described in the 'Initial Winding' section.

Resistència a l'aigua

Your watch has a water resistance rating of 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday wear and can withstand splashes, rain, or brief immersion in water. It is no suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or any water sports where it might be exposed to high-pressure water or prolonged submersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Manteniment

Neteja

Per mantenir l'aspecte del rellotge:

• Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth regularly.
• For the stainless steel strap, a slightly damp es pot fer servir un drap i assecar-lo immediatament. Eviteu utilitzar productes químics agressius o materials abrasius.
• If the watch has been exposed to saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Emmagatzematge

Quan no porteu el rellotge, guardeu-lo en un lloc fresc i sec, allunyat de la llum solar directa, temperatures extremes i camps magnètics forts. Es recomana portar una caixa o una bossa per protegir-lo de la pols i les ratllades.

Servei regular

Like any precision mechanical instrument, your automatic watch benefits from periodic professional servicing. It is recommended to have your watch inspected and serviced by an authorized watchmaker every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and water resistance integrity.
