Waterproof properties

The water resistance of your DETOMASO watch has been tested to be 5 ATM.

This means that it is splashproof and that you may wash your hands or take a bath with it. However, the watch is not to be worn in the shower or when swimming or diving. Waterproofness is not a permanent characteristic; it should be tested annually and in particular before the watch is put under exceptional strain, as the seals deteriorate gradually in daily use. The seals are the important factor in guaranteeing the waterproofness of a watch. These age naturally and are also affected by perspiration and acids.

ISO 2281 stipulates which standards have to be met by a new watch. The level of waterproofness is given in atm and noted on the base of the casing. Your DETOMASO watch has been tested and has a water resistance of 5 ATM. The specification „5 ATM" is not to be confused with the diving depth; it is simply the definition of the inspection pressure. An inspection pressure of 5 ATM is reached at a depth of 50m . You cannot go diving with this watch.

In some cases a short-term higher pressure than the guaranteed inspection pressure may be enforced on the seals, for example when swimming or diving into water. Watches are at particular risk when the wearer dives into water after sunbathing. The combination of the impact pressure with the negative pressure caused by the sudden drop in temperature can quite easily cause damage. It is important to check and, if necessary, replace seals when the battery is replaced.

Instructions for care

Your watch is a high precision electronic and mechanical masterpiece and should serve you well for a long time.

Please keep your watch away from magnetic fields, heat, water and chemicals. Do not submit it to sudden impact or abrasion. Watches should not be worn in bed.

If a battery operated watch stops or the low battery indicator shows, it should be taken to a specialist as soon as possible to prevent the battery from causing damage in the watch or to the environment.

Batteries should be replaced by a specialist at regular intervals of approx. 1 - 1 12 years. The seals can then be checked and, if necessary, replaced at the same time.

In the event of condensation forming underneath the glass [misting], the watch should be taken to a specialist as soon as possible to prevent the moisture from causing further damage.

The crown should always be firmly pressed in or screwed tight during use.

Press Button A to change the value and Button B to move to the next setting/confirm. If no changes are made within 60 seconds, the Watch automatically returns to normal mode.

Whilst in the time setting mode, the minute and hour hands will stop. Once the time is set, the minute and hour hands will move faster to catch up.

Radio Control Settings

The Watch automatically checks and adjusts the time at 3am UTC +1. If unsuccessful, the signal is checked again at the start of the next hour. After the 3rd fail, the Watch will not search again until 3am the next day.

When the Reception is OK, the RC symbol will be displayed. During Reception the RC icon will flash, and the signal quality indicator will display when available. If a signal is received, the Watch will be set to the new received time. If no signal is received, the Watch will continue on the old time. By pressing Button A for more than 2 seconds, auto reception will be cancelled and the pre-adjusted time displays.

Signal strength is indicated by the waves icon.

No waves - no signal available

1 wave - weak signal available
2 waves - good signal but some interference
3 waves - best signal available

Manual Reception Setting

You can also manually search for the time at any time by pressing Button A for more than 2 seconds (also press Button A for 2 seconds to cancel).
