ATTENTION
Failure to strictly observe the following
safety instructions could lead to serious
consequences such as injuries.
Stop wearing the watch in the event of the
following:
If the case or the wristband has sharp
edges due to damage.
If the pins stick out of the wristband.
Make sure that infants or children do
not accidentally swallow any of the
accessories.
Keep the watch and its accessories out
of the reach of children and infants.
Should an infant or child swallow the
battery or any of the accessories, seek
medical attention immediately.
Additional warnings
Never disassemble or modify the watch.
In particular, please be aware that you
may injure yourself when touching the
watch and that there is a risk of an
allergic reaction such as a rash and
itching.
Please note
Failure to strictly observe the following safety
instructions could lead to property damage.
Do not turn or pull out the crown when the
watch is wet. This could allow water to
get inside the watch.
Do not let moisture, dirt or sweat sit on
the watch for an extended period of time.
Note that a water-resistant watch can
lose its water-resistance if the adhesive
on the glass or the gasket is damaged.
ENGLISH

1312
Do not wear the watch while bathing
or in the sauna. Steam, soap and some
components of the water at thermal spas
can cause the watch to lose its water-
resistance prematurely.
Do not operate the crown underwater.
If condensation can be seen on the inside
of the watch glass or water droplets remain
inside the watch for an extended period
of time, the watch is no longer waterproof.
Immediately contact the store where
the watch was purchased or contact
DYNAMICNORD directly as stated on our
website.
As the environment in which the divers
watch is used can affect not only the case
or wristband, but also the mechanism inside
the watch, we recommend that you have it
checked and adjusted regularly about every
two to three years.
Please note
If the watch is affected by strong magnetism,
it will temporarily be fast or slow.
A strong magnetic field can magnetize parts
of the watch. In this case, repairs such as
removing the magnetization are required.
Immediately contact the store where
the watch was purchased or contact
DYNAMICNORD directly as stated on our
website.
ENGLISH

1514
ATTENTION
Please note the following safety instructions
for use.
The watch can be
used for diving with
compressed air within
the water resistance
range indicated on the
dial.
Do not operate the crown
underwater.
Make sure the watch
does not hit any hard
objects such as rocks.
Rotating the adjustment
ring can be a bit more
difficult under water.
This is not a malfunction.
DURING THE DIVE

The time is set correctly.

SCREW-DOWN CROWN
The screw-down crown prevents water
from entering the watch and any associated
malfunctions.
Before operating a screw-down crown, it
must be loosened.
After operating the crown, it must be
screwed down again tightly.
Before operating the crown, loosen it by
turning the crown counter-clockwise. The
crown can now be operated.
Screw down the crown after turning it. To
do so, turn the crown clockwise while gently
pushing it towards the watch case until it
stops.crown loosened

Now pull the crown out to the second
lock-in position to set the time. Then turn
the crown to advance the watch hands
until the date jumps to the correct date.
The time is now set to AM. Continue
moving the hands forward to set the
exact time.
When the time is set correctly, push the
crown back in to the normal position. The
second hand starts moving immediately.
Screw the crown back down.
SETTING TIME AND DATE
The watch's date function is designed to
advance the date once every 24 hours.
The date changes at around 12:00 a.m.
(midnight).
(If AM/PM is set incorrectly, the date will
change at around 12:00 noon)
Please note
Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m.
and 2:00 a.m. Otherwise, the date may
not advance properly.
DATE AND TIME
Loosen the crown.
Pull the crown out to the first lock-in
position.
(Make sure that the second hand stops
at 12)
Turn the crown clockwise to set the date.

USING THE ADJUSTMENT RING
By turning the adjustment ring counter-
clockwise before the dive the elapsed time
can be measured. To do so, the "0" mark
must be set to the minute hand.
Example: If you start your dive at 2:50 p.m.,
you can see when 20 minutes have passed.
At the start (e.g. when you begin the
dive) turn the adjustment ring so that
the “0” mark of the adjustment ring
and the minute hand are in line.
After that, the minute hand indicates the
elapsed time, by pointing to the graduation
on the ring.
Please note
The elapsed time of your dive can be displayed
using the adjustment ring. The adjustment
ring is designed to only turn counter-clock-
wise, so the measured time is never shorter
than the actual elapsed time.
Please note
Before each dive, be sure to check whether
the amount of air left in your tank is sufficient
for your planned dive.

QUARTZ MOVEMENT AND BATTERY
Quartz watches are powered by a battery that
is not rechargeable. In continuous operation,
it usually has a power reserve of over 2-3
years. Depending on the ambient temperature
and the wearer's habits, this may vary slightly.
The temperature can also impair the precision
of the quartz movement, changing it by -0.5
to +0.7 seconds per day.
To reduce energy consumption, pull the
crown out to the last lock-in position if you
do not intend to wear your watch for a few
weeks.
Collection and treatment of quartz watches
at the end of their useful life
This product should not be disposed of as
household waste. Drop it off at your local,
authorized return and collection site.
In doing so, you are making a difference for
the environment and human health. Recycling
helps conserve natural resources.
Battery: silver oxide-zinc button cell.
ENGLISH

2726
MAGNETISM
Strong magnetism can cause watches to
temporarily be fast or slow.
Depending on the strength of the magnetic
field, parts of the watch can become magne-
tized.
Should this occur, please contact the store
where the watch was purchased or contact
DYNAMICNORD directly as the watch
requires repair and degaussing.
QUALITY PRESERVATION
CARE
The watch requires good care.
Do not clean the watch with water when
the crown is pulled out.
Remove moisture, sweat or dirt using a
soft cloth.
After contact with sea water, rinse the
watch in clean fresh water and dry it
thoroughly.
Please note
Magnetic fields:
Do not place the watch on magnets, speakers,
refrigerators, iPad or tablet cases as these
create strong magnetic fields that could
damage your timepiece.
ENGLISH

2928
WRISTBAND
The wristband comes into direct contact with
the skin and gets soiled by sweat and dust.
Poor care can therefore accelerate the wear
and tear of the wristband or may cause skin
irritation. Take good care of the watch so that
you can use it for years to come.
Silicone wristband
Due to the material's properties, it is
easier for the wristband to get dirty,
blotchy or discolored. Remove all dirt
thoroughly using a damp cloth.
Fractures in silicone straps can cause
the wristband to tear. Be careful not to
damage the wristband with sharp objects.
Skin irritation and allergies
A wristband can cause skin irritation for
several reasons, such as allergies to metals
or silicone, or reactions to the skin rubbing
against dust or dirt.
Wristband length
Adjust the wristband of your watch so that
there is a bit of space between the wristband
and your wrist to allow air to circulate between
the wristband and your skin.
When wearing the watch, there should be
enough space to fit a finger between the
wristband and your wrist.
ENGLISH

3130
WRISTBAND EXTENSION
Sometimes it is necessary to expand the
wristband significantly.
Depending on the required length, the
included wristband extension is positioned
on the free side of the wristband and fixed
with the clasp. The extended wristband can
then be closed and opened as usual.
