2. Eco-Drive Technology Overview

The Eco-Drive system utilizes a solar cell located under the dial to convert any light source (natural or artificial) into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in a rechargeable power cell, which powers the watch movement. This innovative technology ensures continuous operation without the need for traditional battery changes.

4.1 Day and Date Display

The watch features a day and date display. The date changes automatically at midnight. The day of the week also changes automatically. If the month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to manually advance the date to the 1st of the next month using the crown (refer to section 3.2).

4.2 Luminous Hands

The hour and minute hands are treated with a luminous material that glows in low-light conditions after exposure to light. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the exposure time and intensity of the light source.

5.1 Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the nylon strap, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and air drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.2 Wetter Resistance

This watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). It is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged. Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.

• Hands not moving: After charging, if the hands still do not move, pull the crown out to the second click position and push it back in to reset the watch. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
