Impostare

1. Avvio iniziale

As an automatic watch, the RA-AB0F15S is powered by the movement of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, gently shake it side-to-side for about 30 seconds to initiate the movement. The second hand should begin to sweep. For optimal power reserve, wear the watch regularly.

2. Impostazione dell'ora e della data

1. Estrarre la corona: Locate the crown on the right side of the watch case. Gently pull it out to the first click position for date adjustment, and to the second click position for time adjustment.
2. Imposta la data e il giorno: In the first click position, rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the day and date. Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanism is engaged in changing the date, and manual adjustment can cause damage.
3. Imposta l'ora: In the second click position, rotate the crown to set the correct time. To ensure accuracy, set the minute hand a few minutes ahead of the desired time, then turn it back to the exact time.
4. Spingere la corona: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its normal operating position against the watch case. This also ensures water resistance.

Come usare il tuo orologio automatico

Instead, it is powered by a mainspring that is wound by the natural motion of your arm while wearing the watch. When fully wound, the watch typically has a power reserve that allows it to run for approximately 40 hours when not being worn.

Cura e precauzioni

• Evitare gli shock: Sebbene robusti, gli orologi meccanici sono sensibili agli urti violenti. Evitare di far cadere l'orologio o di sottoporlo a urti violenti.
• Temperature estreme: Do not expose the watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect lubrication and accuracy.
• Campi magnetici: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, medical devices), which can magnetize the movement and affect timekeeping accuracy.
• Prodotti chimici: Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as they can damage the case, gasket, or bracelet.

Manutenzione

Per prestazioni ottimali e una lunga durata, si consiglia di far revisionare il proprio orologio automatico da un orologiaio qualificato ogni 3-5 anni. Questo servizio di solito include la pulizia, la lubrificazione e la regolazione del movimento.

Risoluzione dei problemi

• Watch has stopped or runs intermittently: This is common for automatic watches that have not been worn for a period. Gently shake the watch for about 30 seconds to restart the movement. If it still does not run, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. Consistent wear for several hours should build up sufficient power reserve.
• L'orario non è preciso: Check if the watch has been exposed to strong magnetic fields. If so, demagnetization by a watchmaker may be necessary. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time.
• Date/Day does not change: Ensure the watch has sufficient power reserve. If the date/day is stuck, manually advance the time past midnight to observe if it changes. If not, manually set the date/day as described in the "Setup" section, avoiding the restricted hours.
• Condensazione sotto il cristallo: This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a qualified watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent further damage to the movement.
