Frequently Asked Questions - 1L12 BREIL

How to set the time on my BREIL 1L12 watch?

To set the time, pull the crown to position (1) (or position (2) if your watch has a date function, to stop the second hand at 0). Turn the crown to set the hands to the desired time. Finally, push the crown back to position (0) to start the watch.

How to set the date on my BREIL watch?

If your watch has a date display, pull the crown to position (1). Turn the crown until the correct date appears, then push the crown back to position (0).

What to do if my watch has a screw-down crown?

Before any adjustment, unscrew the crown completely. After making adjustments, screw it back carefully to ensure water resistance. Never operate the crown when the watch is wet.

Is my watch waterproof? Can I swim with it?

Water resistance depends on the model. The 'WATER RESISTANT' indication on the dial guarantees splash resistance. For swimming, look for '50M' or more; for diving, '100M' or more. Consult the table in the manual for the exact level. Never pull the crown underwater.

How to clean a leather bracelet?

Gently wipe the outer side with a soft, dry cloth. For the inside, use a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol. Avoid soaking the leather.

What to do if there is condensation under the glass?

Temporary condensation is normal if the outside temperature is low. If it persists, contact an authorized service center, as this may indicate moisture ingress.

Is my watch resistant to magnetic fields?

Yes, it is antimagnetic up to 60 Gauss, which protects it from common household fields. However, avoid prolonged exposure to very intense fields (e.g., powerful speakers).

Can I wear my watch during sports activities?

It supports shocks and jolts from daily sports (golf, baseball). Avoid direct contact sports or violent impacts that could damage it.

How to maintain my watch for a long life?

Keep it clean by regularly wiping the case and bracelet. Have it inspected every 1 to 2 years by an authorized center. Avoid extreme temperatures, chemicals, and static electricity.

What to do if my watch battery is dead?

Have the battery replaced by an authorized service center. Do not leave the dead battery inside the watch. Keep batteries out of reach of children.

The words “WATER RESISTANT” may sometimes be abbreviated to “WATER RESIST”.

• In order to prevent water coming into contact with the internal mechanism, never pull the crown out when the watch is wet.
• If any watches designed for sportswear or use in water come into contact with salt water or heavy sweating, they should be rinsed in fresh water and dried thoroughly.
• Contact with water may cause a deterioration in the quality of some leather straps.

Water
Skin-diving	Scuba diving	Water-resistance characteristics
NO	NO	Not water resistant. Must be kept away from water and moisture

*Always keep the crown in its normal position. *Fully tighten crown screw lock.

• As the internal parts of the watch can retain moisture, when the outside temperature is lower than the inside, the watch glass may mist-up. This phenomenon is purely temporary and should not create any problems. However, if it persists for any length of time, the watch should be checked by the shop where it was purchased or by the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

Impact

This watch can withstand normal everyday impacts and shocks and those normally imparted by non-contact sports such as golf and baseball. Serious damage, however, may result if the watch is dropped or subjected to severe shock.

Magnetic fields

This watch is antimagnetic up to 60 gauss, and is therefore not affected by magnetic fields produced by normal domestic appliances. If used near strong magnetic fields, its operation may be temporarily affected.

Chemicals and gases

Avoid wearing the watch in the presence of strong gases or chemical substances.

Parts of the watch may discolour, dissolve or even break if brought into contact with benzol or petroleum based products such as solvents, thinners, detergents, adhesives etc.

Pay special attention to avoiding contact with chemicals.

The watch case and strap may discolour if they come into contact with mercury from a broken thermometer or other equipment.

Keeping the watch clean

Use an absorbent soft cloth to clean off any dirt or damp from the watch glass.

Wearing the watch when the strap or back of the case is dirty can cause skin irritation.

Keeping the watch clean also keeps shirt cuffs clean.

Cleaning the watch strap.

Metal bands: use a toothbrush and soapy warm water to wash the dirt off.
- Plastic or rubber straps: wash with water. Do not use solvents.
- Leather straps: gently rub the face of the strap using a soft dry cloth. Clean the opposite side with a cloth and alcohol.

Periodic inspection

In order to guarantee long trouble-free operation, it is advisable to have the watch checked by an authorised assistance centre once every 12 months or two years.

If your watch is fitted with a quartz movement

Temperature

Do not leave the watch exposed to direct sunlight or temperature extremes for long periods of time.

Long exposure, in fact, may adversely affect the operation of the watch and actually shorten battery life, causing it to gain or lose time and affect its other functions.

Static electricity

The integrated circuits present inside the watch are sensitive to static electricity. If the watch is exposed to intense electrical fields, the time display may temporarily lose some of its accuracy.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children

In order to improve the product, the technical specifications may be modified without prior notice.
