It is NOT suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water exposure. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

6 Issolvi l-problemi
6.1 Watch Not Running or Intermittent Operation
- Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is pulled out, the watch will not run.
- The Meca-Quartz movement requires a battery. If the watch stops completely, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified watch technician for battery replacement.
6.2 Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero
If the chronograph hands do not return precisely to the 12 o'clock (zero) position after resetting, they may need calibration. This can sometimes occur after a battery change or impact.
- Pull the crown out to the outermost position (time setting position).
- Press the top pusher repeatedly to advance the chronograph second hand until it aligns with the 12 o'clock position.
- If other chronograph sub-dials are misaligned, use the bottom pusher to adjust them to their zero positions.
- Once all chronograph hands are aligned, push the crown back into its normal operating position.
