Using this watch is simple. Just wind the crown gently to set the time. When you first get it, give it a few extra winds to start the mechanism. As for wearing, fasten the leather band comfortably around your wrist. To keep it in top shape, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and moisture. Clean the stainless - steel parts with a soft, dry cloth regularly. If the leather band gets dirty, use a mild leather cleaner. Don't try to open the watch yourself as it's a delicate mechanical device. If you have any problems, contact customer service.
