STRAPS AND STRAP CHANGING
We use fine natural leather straps, hypoallergenic stainless steel mesh bands, and hypoallergenic stainless steel bracelets. Our strap selection ensures not only timeless elegance, but also skin-friendly materials and optimal comfort for all-day wear.
Most of our watches feature straps equipped with a quick-release system. This innovative mechanism allows you to effortlessly change your watch strap without the need for professional assistance. Customize your look with ease and adapt your watch to any occasion.

WATCH WATER RESISTANCE
Understanding the water resistance of your watch is essential to ensure its longevity and performance. Water resistance ratings indicate how well a watch is sealed against water ingress under specific conditions. Please refer to the guidelines below:
3 ATM / 30 Meters / 100 Feet
- Suitable for: Everyday use. Resistant to minor splashes and rain.
- Not suitable for: Swimming, bathing, or submersion in water.
5 ATM / 50 Meters / 165 Feet
- Suitable for: Short periods of recreational swimming in shallow water.
- Not suitable for: Snorkeling, diving, or high-impact water sports.
10 ATM / 100 Meters / 330 Feet
- Suitable for: Swimming and snorkeling.
- Not suitable for: Scuba diving.
20 ATM / 200 Meters / 660 Feet
- Suitable for: Professional marine activities and serious surface water sports.
- Not suitable for: Deep-sea diving.
Important Notes:
Water resistance is not a permanent condition. Regular wear and aging of seals can reduce water resistance over time.
Avoid exposing your watch to sudden temperature changes, which can affect water resistance.
Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
TIME SETTING INSTRUCTIONS
Identify the Crown Positions:
- Position 1: Crown fully pushed in (normal position).
- Position 2: Crown pulled out to the second click (for time setting).
Set the Time:
- Gently pull the crown out to Position 2.
- Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push the crown back to Position 1.
Note: Always ensure the crown is fully pushed back in to maintain water resistance.
CHRONOGRAPH STOPWATCH VD55
Time Setting

NOTE: If the stopwatch hands function improperly, pull out crown and press A and B at the same time for over 2 seconds. When the buttons are released, the stopwatch second and 1/10 second hands will spin around and return to “0.” This will indicate that the same time for over 2 seconds has been registered. When the buttons are released, the stopwatch second and 1/10 second hands will again spin around and return to “0.” This will indicate that the internal circuit has been reset.

ABOUT AUTOMATIC WATCHES
An automatic (self-winding) watch is powered by the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist. It contains a rotor that spins with wrist movement, winding the mainspring and storing energy.
Wearing Recommendations
- To keep your automatic watch running accurately, it should be worn regularly.
- If not worn for more than 8–12 hours, the watch may slow down or stop completely.
- If you take your watch off for the night or don’t wear it daily, it’s recommended to wind it manually.
How to Manually Wind Your Watch
- Keep the crown in Position 1 (fully pushed in).
- Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20–30 times.
- Do not overwind – when resistance increases, stop turning.
- Manual winding ensures continued operation, especially if the watch is not worn daily.
Tips for Best Performance
- Wearing the watch daily for at least 8 hours usually keeps it fully wound,
but since movement varies from person to person, we recommend winding it manually in the evening before taking it off to ensure it keeps running overnight.
- After extended periods of non-use, wind the watch before wearing.
- Avoid magnetic fields, shocks, and sudden temperature changes.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To keep your watch in optimal condition, please follow these care instructions:
Cleaning: Wipe your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture.
Avoid Chemicals: Keep your watch away from chemicals such as perfumes, cosmetics, and detergents, which can damage the watch components.
Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F).
Shocks and Vibrations: Protect your watch from strong shocks, drops, or vibrations.
Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, mobile phones) as they may affect timekeeping accuracy.
Water Exposure: After exposure to saltwater or chlorine, rinse your watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.
BATTERY INFORMATION
Your watch is powered by a high-quality battery designed to last approximately 18 to 24 months under normal use. When the battery runs out, we recommend having it replaced by an authorized service center to ensure proper handling and maintain water resistance. Please note that battery replacement performed by unauthorized parties may void the warranty.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Small Parts: Keep the watch and its components out of reach of children to prevent choking hazards.
Allergies: Although we use hypoallergenic materials, if you experience any irritation or allergic reactions, discontinue use and consult a physician.
Battery Handling: Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself. Incorrect handling can cause damage or injury.
Service: Do not attempt to open the watch case or disassemble the watch. This should only be performed by authorized service personnel.
