2.3 Stel tyd en datum in

  1. Skroef die kroon los: For water-resistant models with a screw-down crown, gently unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it springs out to position 1.
  2. Stel die datum: Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
  3. Stel die tyd in: Pull the crown out to position 3. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure accurate time setting, synchronize with a reliable time source. Push the crown back to position 1.
  4. Beveilig die Kroon: For screw-down crowns, push the crown back into the case and screw it clockwise until it is firmly sealed against the case. This maintains water resistance.

Note: Specific instructions for chronograph sub-dials and 24-hour track may vary slightly. Refer to the detailed diagram in the included Bulova manual for precise button functions.

4. Sorg en Onderhoud

4.1 Maak jou horlosie skoon

  • Vee die horlosiekas en kristal af met 'n sagte, droë lap.
  • For the silicone strap, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
  • Vermy die gebruik van harde chemikalieë of skuurmiddels, aangesien dit die horlosie se afwerking kan beskadig.

4.2 Waterweerstand

This watch is water resistant to 300 meters (30 ATM). This rating makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. However, it is crucial to ensure the crown is fully screwed down and pushers are not operated while the watch is submerged or wet.

  • Belangrik: Moenie die kroon of drukkers gebruik wanneer die horlosie nat of onder water is nie.
  • Na blootstelling aan soutwater, spoel die horlosie met vars water af en droog dit deeglik af.
  • Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may eventually be affected by the aging of gaskets or accidental shocks to the crown or case. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically by an authorized service center.

4.3 Batterylewe

The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which uses a battery. The typical battery life is several years. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by an authorized Bulova service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5. Probleemoplossing

  • Horlosie loop nie: Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
  • Verkeerde tyd/datum: Refer to Section 2.3 for instructions on setting the time and date. Ensure the crown is fully secured after adjustment.
  • Chronograaf herstel nie na nul nie: This may require a specific reset procedure for the chronograph hands. Consult the full Bulova instruction manual or an authorized service center.
