Frequently Asked Questions - AR2508 Armani

How do I set the time on my Armani AR2508 watch?

Pull the crown to position 2 (for 2-hand models) or 3 (for models with date or chronograph) according to your model's instructions. Turn it clockwise to advance the hands to the desired time. Push the crown back to position 1.

How do I set the date on my watch?

Pull the crown to position 2 (the watch continues to run). Turn it until the date shows the previous day, then pull to position 3 and turn to the correct date. Caution: never set the date between 10 PM and 2 AM (or 9 PM and 1 AM depending on model) to avoid damaging the movement.

My watch is automatic: do I need to wind it manually?

If you do not wear the watch for more than 38 hours, it is recommended to wind it manually. Hold the crown in position 1 and turn it clockwise 10 to 20 times.

What should I do if my watch gets water inside or condensation appears?

If water or condensation is visible inside the crystal, have the watch inspected immediately by a qualified technician. Water can corrode electronic components. Avoid using the crown or buttons underwater.

How do I clean my Armani AR2508 watch?

Clean the watch with a soft cloth and water. If it has been in contact with seawater, rinse it with fresh water and dry it. Use a soft brush with soapy water for the metal bracelet. Only submerge the watch if its water resistance allows it.

How do I adjust the length of the metal bracelet?

Open the clasp and pull the bracelet in the direction of the arrow until you see the adjusting pin. Place the pin in the appropriate hole for your wrist. Use a pin pusher to remove links if necessary: locate the arrows, place the bracelet in the holder, push the pin with the pin pusher.

My watch runs fast or slow: what should I do?

Exposure to extreme temperatures can affect accuracy. In case of intense cold, the watch may run fast or slow. If the problem persists, have it serviced by a qualified technician. Adjustment is recommended every 3 to 5 years.

How do I use the chronograph on my watch?

Make sure the crown is in position 1. Press button A to start/stop the chronograph. Press button B to reset the hands to zero. For split times, press B during the measurement; press again to resume.

Can I swim with my Armani AR2508 watch?

That depends on the water resistance indicated on the case back. A watch marked 5 ATM (50 meters) is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. Make sure the crown is screwed down or pushed in before any contact with water.

How do I reset the chronograph hands if they are not aligned?

Pull the crown to position 3. Press buttons A and B simultaneously for at least 2 seconds until the second hand rotates 360°. Use A to advance the second hand, B to move to the next hand. Return the crown to position 1 after adjustment.

USER MANUAL AR2508 Armani

NOTE: Various models of the Emporio Armani Orologi collection have screw-down crowns. If you attempt to pull the crown out for time or date setting and it does not pull out easily, you may need to unscrew your crown before pulling the crown out. This is done by turning the crown counter-clockwise until it is completely unscrewed. Your crown will now pull out easily for time adjustment. To return crown to position 1, push in gently and turn clockwise simultaneously.

AUTOMATIC WINDING MOVEMENT

A timepiece fitted with an automatic winding movement obtains the power to wind itself by the movement of your wrist. When fully wound, your timepiece has a power-reserve of approximately 38 hours. If the timepiece has not been worn for over 38 hours it is advised that it be manually wound to ensure necessary power-reserve. To manually wind, keep the crown in position 1 and then turn it clockwise, 10 to 20 times.

Important Notes: As with every mechanical timepiece, the automatic day/date calendar is automatically adjusted by a complicated mechanism that is triggered between 10pm and 2am. It is important to avoid any adjustment of the day/date calendar setting operation and any backward movement of the watch hands during this period of time.

To ensure longevity and accuracy, it is recommended to have your mechanical timepiece over-hauled by a qualified technician every 3 - 5 years.

WATCH CARE AND PRECAUTIONS

This watch contains precision electronic components. To ensure the best wear, please follow these simple guidelines for watch care:

1. Avoid leaving your watch in any extremes for long periods of time: direct sunlight, extremely warm, or extremely cold location.

2. Extreme heat will cause malfunctioning and shorten the life of your battery.
   Extreme cold will cause your watch to gain or lose time.

3. Avoid wet conditions unless your watch is suited for them.

4. Never operate any of the function buttons or crown when the watch is submerged in water.

5. Should water or condensation appear in the watch face, have the watch checked immediately. Water can corrode electronic parts inside the case.

6. Avoid extreme shock or impact. Your watch is designed to withstand impact under normal use.

7. Avoid using soap or other chemicals which could damage your watch.

8. Avoid wearing your watch in the presence of strong chemicals, solvents or gases. They may cause discoloration, deterioration or damage to the case, band and other components.

9. Avoid strong electric fields or static electricity which could harm your watch mechanics.

10. Generally, your watch is not affected by magnetic fields from such household appliances as television sets and stereos.

11. Keep your watch clean.

12. Clean your watch with a soft cloth and water only. Do not submerge your watch under water unless it is water rated (see caseback).

13. After salt water use, rinse watch under tap water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

14. Metal watch bands should be washed periodically to keep them looking beautiful. Clean with a soft brush dipped in mild, soapy water. Be sure to wipe dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

15. Periodic Inspection.

16. We recommend having your watch checked once every year or two to ensure long use and trouble-free operation.
