Istruzioni per l'uso
1. Timekeeping (12/24 Hour)
The watch displays time in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats. The main hands indicate the current time, while a sub-dial typically shows the 24-hour format. Refer to the detailed manual for specific sub-dial readings and adjustments.
2. Funzione cronografo
The 1/20 second chronograph measures elapsed time up to 60 minutes. Use the pushers on the side of the watch to start, stop, and reset the chronograph. Consult the full instruction manual for precise operation of the chronograph sub-dials.
3. Calendario perpetuo
Once correctly set, the perpetual calendar automatically adjusts the date, day, and month, accounting for leap years. No manual adjustment is required until the year 2100.
4. Doppio fuso orario (secondo fuso orario)
The watch allows you to display a second time zone. This feature is useful for travelers or those who need to track time in different regions. Instructions for setting and switching between time zones are available in the comprehensive user guide.
5. Funzione di allarme
Set an alarm using the dedicated sub-dial and pushers. The alarm will sound at the programmed time. Refer to the full manual for detailed alarm setting procedures.
6. Tachymeter
The tachymeter scale on the bezel can be used in conjunction with the chronograph to measure speed. Start the chronograph at a known starting point (e.g., mile marker) and stop it at the end of the distance. The number on the tachymeter scale corresponding to the chronograph's second hand indicates the average speed in units per hour.
Manutenzione
1. Ricarica Eco-Drive
To maintain optimal performance, ensure your watch is regularly exposed to light. Avoid prolonged storage in dark places. If the watch stops, expose it to bright light to restart and recharge. The watch has a power reserve indicator to show its charge level.

2. Pulizia
Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dirt and oils. For water-resistant models, you can use a slightly damp stoffa. Evitare l'uso di prodotti chimici aggressivi o materiali abrasivi.
3. Resistenza all'acqua
The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters. This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
4. Super Titanium™ Care
Super Titanium™ is highly scratch-resistant and hypoallergenic. While durable, avoid unnecessary impacts or exposure to harsh environments to maintain its finish. Its lightweight nature and gentle feel on the skin make it comfortable for extended wear.
