Owner's guide
Your watch has arrived. Here are the only three things you need to know, and what your warranty covers.
Setting the date and the time
Everything is done with the crown, the small button on the side of the case. How far you pull it out decides what you are setting: one arrow on the diagram, one click.
For the date, on models fitted with one: pull the crown out one click, turn it until the right date shows, then push it back with a simple press.
For the time: pull the crown out two clicks, turn it until the time is right, then push it back.
One thing to keep in mind: the indexes run from 1 to 12, so nothing tells 6 in the morning from 6 in the evening. To check you are in the right half of the day, move the hands forward until the date changes. If the date changes at midnight, your watch is right. If it changes at noon, move the time forward by twelve hours.
Sizing a Milanese mesh bracelet
The mesh ships at its full length. It adjusts to your wrist in four steps, with a flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool.
- Open the upper clasp on the adjustable buckle.
- Place the tip of the screwdriver in the small notch of the clasp, then lift this piece to open it towards the body of the watch. Pulling the tool against the pin on the right may bend it.
- Slide the adjustable buckle to the length you want, making sure it sits in one of the notches.
- Close the clasp by clipping it shut.
Changing the strap
Changing the strap reinvents the look of the watch, and needs no tool thanks to the spring bar seated between the lugs of the case.
- Pull the spring bar to release the strap.
- Detach the strap from the watch, then repeat on the other side.
- To fit a new strap: slide one end of the spring bar into the hole in the lug. Once it is in place, press gently on it to bring the other end into the hole on the opposite side. Repeat on the other side.
We cover the method, the mistakes to avoid and the lug width to know in our article on changing your watch strap yourself.
Water
Our watches are water resistant to 3 ATM. That covers splashes and rain, but does not resist showers and suchlike. Excessive contact with water may damage the watch, and such leakage is not covered by the warranty.
The degree of water resistance is engraved on the back of the case. We explain what these figures mean in our article 3 ATM, 5 ATM, 10 ATM.
Warranty
Your watch is guaranteed for 24 months from the date of purchase, against manufacturing defects.
Not covered: the battery and the strap; damage caused by an accident or by mishandling, including the strap buckle and the glass; water ingress beyond the stated degree of water resistance; tarnishing of the strap or of the case.
Changing your strap yourself does not affect the warranty in any way.
Full terms on our warranty page. These rights are in addition to your statutory rights and do not diminish them.

The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol is a reminder that waste electrical and electronic products, batteries included, should not be disposed of with household waste. Take them to a civic amenity site or a recycling facility: some components can harm the environment and present a risk to health if they are not disposed of properly.
