Frequently Asked Questions - Contemporary RA-QC1701L ORIENT
How do I set the time and date on my ORIENT Contemporary RA-QC1701L?
Pull the crown out to the first position (clicks once) to set the date. Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date. Pull the crown out to the second position (clicks twice) to set the time. Turn the crown to move the hands forward. Push the crown back in after setting. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
What type of movement does this watch use?
The ORIENT Contemporary RA-QC1701L uses a Japanese automatic movement (self-winding). It winds with natural wrist motion and also can be manually wound by turning the crown clockwise (about 20-30 turns if fully stopped).
Is the watch water-resistant? Can I swim with it?
This watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 ATM). It is suitable for accidental splashes and brief immersion, but not for swimming or diving. Avoid operating the crown underwater.
How do I wind the watch manually?
To manually wind the watch, hold the crown (in its normal position, not pulled out) and turn it clockwise (toward 12 o'clock) about 20-30 full rotations. You will feel resistance when fully wound. Do not overwind.
What is the power reserve of this watch?
The power reserve is approximately 40 hours when fully wound. If you wear the watch daily, the movement will stay wound. If not worn for a day, it may stop.
How do I adjust the bracelet size?
The bracelet has removable links secured by screws or pins. Use a small screwdriver or pin punch to remove links from the underside. If unsure, have it sized by a jeweler to avoid damage.
The watch is running fast/slow. How can I regulate it?
Automatic watches can gain or lose a few seconds per day due to gravity or magnetization. For small adjustments (e.g., -3 to +5 sec/day), it is normal. If significantly off, have it demagnetized or serviced by a professional. Do not attempt to open the case.
Can I replace the battery?
This watch is automatic and does not use a battery. It is powered by your wrist motion. If it stops, wind it manually or wear it to restart. No battery replacement is needed.
How do I clean the watch?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the case, crystal, and bracelet. For dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid chemical cleaners, alcohol, or abrasive materials. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to seawater.
What should I do if the crown is pulled out but the watch still runs?
This is normal for many automatic watches. The movement continues to run briefly even when the crown is pulled out as the mainspring still has energy. The hands will stop when the crown is pulled out to the time-setting position, but the movement may keep ticking. Let the watch sit for a minute to drain the reserve before adjusting.
