Wind the crown clockwise daily until resistance is felt to power the movement. Pull the crown to first position to set the date by rotating clockwise. Pull to second position to set the time, ensuring hands move forward only. Press crown firmly against case to ensure water resistance. Clean with soft cloth after wear to maintain shine.
Avoid winding when watch is on wrist to prevent crown stem damage. Set date between 9 PM and 3 AM by adjusting time instead. Store in dry place away from magnets when not worn. Have pressure tested every two years if swimming regularly. Service movement every 5-7 years for optimal performance.
Use microfiber cloth for acrylic crystal cleaning to prevent scratches. Apply mild soap solution for deeper bracelet cleaning. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure. Dry thoroughly before storage to prevent moisture damage. Adjust bracelet using spring bar tool for proper fit.
