Setting Time & Synchronisation
1. Turn crown counter clockwise to unscrew.
2. Rotate crown 40x clockwise to wind watch.
3. When second hand reaches 12 o’clock, gently pull the crown to set position.
4. Synchronise time with master clock.
5. Push crown to restart watch. Maintain light push pressure, rotate crown half a turn anticlockwise to engage threads & then screw crown clockwise. Hand tighten to re-engage waterproof seal.
Bezel Operation
1. Turn the unidirectional bezel counter clockwise to align triangle with minute hand.
2. Count elapsed time using bezel markers. Each marker represents 5 minutes.
The bezel on the Photic can also be used to track a second time zone. In this mode, each marker represents 1 hr and the triangle represents 12 o'clock in the second time zone.
Bracelet Sizing
Your watch bracelet uses single-sided screw links and includes a 1/2 sized link for a perfect fit. For best resizing results, we recommend asking a local jeweller or watchmaker to help.
However, our screw links can be adjusted at home with a 1.2mm flathead screwdriver. If you decide to resize at home, please be aware that this caries risks of damage. Below is our advice to minimise the risks of at home resizing.
All resizing should be preformed on a flat, clean surface, ideally with some padding. A polishing cloth or your leather pouch will provide a suitable level of padding. Before resizing, remove the bracelet from the watch head using the quick release spring bars.
When removing screws, take your time, keep the screwdriver aligned, and turn counter clockwise slowly with steady downward pressure.
When tightening, avoid cross-threading by initially turning the screw counter clockwise until you feel the threads seat. Following this, the screw can be turned clockwise to tighten. Again, take your time, keep the screwdriver aligned, and turn slowly with steady downward pressure until the screws are tight.
If a screw resists or the screwdriver slips, please stop and consider professional assistance. Slipping or thread misalignment may scratch links, mar the screw head and damage threads, making future adjustments difficult.
Finally, before wearing your watch on the bracelet, please ensure all screws are fully tightened, including any screw which have not been adjusted during the resizing.
Following the first 2-5 days of wear, you may wish to re-examine the screws to ensure they remain tight. A light clockwise turn with a screwdriver is all that's needed. If the screws feel tight, there's no need for any further action. If any have become loose, retighten fully by turning clockwise.
Once that's taken care of, relax and enjoy your perfectly sized bracelet.
