Frequently Asked Questions - Classic 1041 Sekonda

How do I set the time on my Sekonda Classic 1041?

Pull the crown out to position 2 (second click). Turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to set the correct time. Push the crown back in to position 0 to start the watch.

How do I change the date on my watch?

Pull the crown to position 1 (first click). Turn the crown clockwise to advance the date. Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage.

What battery does the Sekonda Classic 1041 use?

It uses a SR626SW silver oxide battery. Replace it at a watch repair shop or carefully at home using a small screwdriver.

Is the Sekonda Classic 1041 water resistant?

Yes, it is water resistant to 3 ATM (30 meters). This means it can withstand splashes and light rain but not swimming or showering.

How do I clean my Sekonda watch?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the case and crystal. For the leather strap, avoid water; use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not use chemicals.

What is the warranty on the Sekonda Classic 1041?

Sekonda typically offers a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep your proof of purchase for claims.

Can I replace the strap myself?

Yes, the strap is interchangeable. Use a spring bar tool to remove the old strap and attach a new one with the same width (20 mm).

Why is my watch running fast or slow?

Quartz watches are generally accurate. If it runs significantly fast/slow, the battery may be low or the movement damaged. Consider a battery replacement or service.

How do I stop the second hand to synchronize the time?

Pull the crown out to position 2. The second hand will stop. Set the time precisely, then push the crown back in to restart the second hand.

Is the Sekonda Classic 1041 suitable for everyday wear?
