Entretien

Nettoyage

Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance of your watch. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the case and crystal. For leather straps, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Allow the strap to air dry if it gets wet.

Remplacement de la batterie

The watch is powered by a Lithium Metal battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically, it's an indication that the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Entretien de la résistance à l'eau

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, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

Dépannage

• Montre non fonctionnelle : Vérifiez que la couronne est bien enfoncée. Si la montre ne fonctionne toujours pas, il se peut que la pile soit à remplacer.
• Date non modifiable : Ensure the time is set correctly (AM/PM). The date typically changes around midnight. Avoid setting the date manually between 9 PM and 3 AM.
• Aiguilles du chronographe ne se remettant pas à zéro : This may require a chronograph reset procedure. Consult a professional watch repair service if the issue persists after attempting a basic reset (pressing pusher B when stopped).
• Condensation sous cristal : If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates a loss of water resistance. Have the watch inspected and repaired by a professional immediately to prevent further damage.

Guide de résistance à l'eau

Your Diesel Mega Chief watch is rated for 10 ATM (Atmospheres), which corresponds to 100 meters or 330 feet. This rating indicates that the watch is suitable for:

• Everyday use and accidental splashes.
• Showering and bathing.
• Swimming in pools or the ocean.
• Snorkeling and shallow diving.

Important:

• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged or wet.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water), as this can affect the seals.
• Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may eventually deteriorate. It is recommended to have your watch's water resistance checked periodically by a professional, especially after battery changes or impacts.
