3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal, pushed-in position to engage the movement and start the watch.

Utiliser votre montre

1. Self-Winding Mechanism

Your Maserati R8821108039 watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. This means that the natural motion of your wrist while wearing the watch will continuously wind the mainspring, providing power to the movement. For optimal performance, wear the watch regularly. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (typically 36-40 hours), it may stop and require manual winding to restart.

2. Résistance à l'eau

This watch has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (10 ATM). This makes it suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

3. Wearing and Adjusting the Strap

The watch features a leather strap with a tang buckle closure. Adjust the strap to a comfortable fit on your wrist. It should be snug enough to prevent excessive movement but not so tight as to restrict circulation. The strap length is 120 + 80 mm, suitable for a 6-7 inch wrist circumference.

Entretien

1. Nettoyage

To clean your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.

2. Stockage

When not wearing your watch, store it in its original box or a watch winder to maintain its power reserve. Keep it away from extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and direct sunlight, which can affect the movement and materials.

3. Water Exposure Precautions

While water resistant, prolonged exposure to hot water (e.g., hot tubs, saunas) or chemical substances (e.g., detergents, perfumes) can compromise the watch's seals and materials. Always rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water and dry it thoroughly.

4. Service professionnel

Mechanical watches benefit from periodic professional servicing, typically every 3-5 years. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement, as well as checking and replacing seals to maintain water resistance.

Dépannage

• Montre non fonctionnelle : If the watch has stopped, it likely needs to be wound. Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 20-30 times. If it still does not start, ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
• Imprécision de l'heure : Mechanical watches are not as precise as quartz watches. A deviation of +/- 10-30 seconds per day is generally considered acceptable. If the watch is consistently losing or gaining significant time, it may require professional adjustment or servicing.
• Condensation sous cristal : If you notice condensation under the crystal, this indicates a breach in the watch's water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a qualified watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent further damage to the movement.
