OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR AUTOMATIC MODELS

Power reserve

An important feature of every self-winding watch is its power reserve. Before putting your watch on, you should wind it up manually (20 clockwise turns of the crown) in order to create an initial power reserve for its operation.

To retain its power reserve, the watch must be worn continuously and actively for at least 8 hours

per day. Should you be unable to wear your watch for the minimum amount of time each day or should it be left idle for 24 hours at a stretch, wind it manually as outlined above.

Our technical centers will be glad to answer any questions you may have about winding your automatic watch.

Manual winding

If your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown, it must be unscrewed before you can set the time or date.

Crown in position A.

If the watch has not been worn for several days, wind it up manually by carefully turning the crown clockwise for 20 revolutions.

Once you have done so, the movement of your wrist during normal daily activities will automatically wind your watch.

Do not forget to screw back the crown.

CARE AND WARRANTY

Care for the watch

All EBEL watches are tested to meet international standards for water resistance. Like all mechanisms, your watch and its metal bracelet are subject to wear, especially since your watch runs day after day without interruption. It is therefore important to care for your watch properly, and, in particular, to protect it rigorously against moisture and dust.

The water resistance of your EBEL wristwatch has been tested under conditions corresponding to submersion in water to the depth engraved on the case-back. We recommend that you routinely rinse your watch and its metal bracelet carefully with fresh water and clean them with a soft brush and liquid soap. Such steps, if carried out regularly, will help preserve the watch and prevent it from getting clogged with dust and sweat, especially after being worn in a pool or the sea, or while you are engaged in a sport that involves exposure to dust or sand. Your EBEL watch can be worn safely in the shower, while swimming or during aquatic sports, but it must never be used as a diving watch. Do not operate the watch crown, the push-buttons on a chronograph model, or any other pushers buttons when the timepiece is wet or under water.

The exposure of a timepiece to strong magnetic fields will affect its time-keeping, and may cause it to stop. A quartz watch should resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the magnetic field; a mechanical timepiece may require demagnetization before it will operate again. If this happens, take the watch to an EBEL dealer.

The EBEL brand will not be responsible for any damage caused by or related to leakage originating from improper handling or damage to the case, crown, gaskets or crystal.

To ensure a watch's water-resistant integrity, yearly maintenance is required. The gaskets and crown which seal the case are subject to wear and deterioration under normal use. These parts should be inspected and replaced as needed each time the watch is opened for service, including battery changes.

Your Authorized EBEL service center will automatically retest your watch for water resistance as a routine step in all service orders.

Finally, any operation carried out by an authorized EBEL service center is automatically covered by a 12-month warranty, even if the 3-year warranty has expired.

Warranty

Except for leather straps, all EBEL watches are covered by an international warranty against any manufacturing defect, that will be honored by all EBEL official service centers. The EBEL warranty is valid for a period of three years from the date of purchase of the watch from the authorized retailer.

For quartz watches, the battery is covered by the warranty for two years from the date of purchase only. Beyond these years of warranty, the cost of replacement of the battery at an official EBEL service center shall be borne by the consumer. Such a service includes: control of the movement; battery replacement; watch-case gaskets replacement and water-resistance test.

This international warranty shall only be valid if the watch has been purchased from a retailer approved by EBEL or its distributors, whose name, address and signature must appear on the front of the warranty card together with the date of purchase, the model of the watch and its serial number.

This warranty card must be presented together with the watch to an official EBEL service center or dealer for all in-warranty servicing. Any work performed on an EBEL watch by an unauthorized person or entity, or any alteration to the serial number engraved on the watch, shall automatically render this international warranty null and void.

All EBEL watches are accompanied with directions for use including recommendations of care and maintenance that should be respected. This international warranty does not apply in case of damage resulting from improper use or mistreatment of the watch.

The terms of this international warranty do not in any way restrict or otherwise affect any possible statutory rights to which the consumer may be entitled by law in the country of purchase.
