3. Uhrzeit und Datum einstellen

Your watch features a crown on the right side of the case. To set the time and date:

1. Ziehen Sie die Krone auf Position 3 heraus (farthest out). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands.
2. Ziehen Sie die Krone auf Position 2 heraus (middle position). Turn the crown to set the date. The date will advance by one day for each full rotation.
3. Once the time and date are set, Drücken Sie die Krone zurück in Position 1 (fully in) to engage the movement.

4. Setting GMT Function

The GMT hand (often a distinct color or shape) tracks a second time zone using the 24-hour bezel. To set the GMT hand:

1. The GMT hand is typically linked to the main hour hand. To adjust the GMT hand independently, you may need to rotate the bezel.
2. Rotate the bidirectional bezel to align the desired second time zone's hour with the GMT hand. For example, if the GMT hand points to '10' on the 24-hour scale and you want it to represent 2 PM (14:00), rotate the bezel until '14' aligns with the GMT hand.

Betrieb

Automatisches Uhrwerk

This watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. It winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. When fully wound, it has a power reserve that allows it to run for a certain period (typically 36-40 hours) without being worn. If the watch stops, gently shake it side-to-side for about 30 seconds to initiate the movement, then set the time and wear it.

Wasserbeständigkeit

Your Timex Waterbury Traditional GMT Automatic Watch is water-resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). This makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. However, it is not suitable for saturation diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

• Zeitungenauigkeit: Automatic watches can have slight variations in accuracy. If the watch is consistently gaining or losing significant time, it may require adjustment by a professional watchmaker.
• Datum ändert sich nicht: Ensure the time is set correctly, passing midnight to trigger the date change. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.
