SETTING THE TIME

RESIZING/CHANGING THE BRACELET
MICROADJUSTMENT
Use the round end of
the strap changing tool
to push in the clasp
springbar, then move
the springbar into the
desired slot.
Make sure it is in the
same slot on both sides
of the clasp.
SIZING WITH LINKS
Use the screwdriver to
remove and replace links as
needed.
For a secure fit, we highly
recommend applying
low-strength threadlocker,
such as Loctite 222/222MS
(not included).
CHANGING STRAPS
Use the strap changing tool
to remove and replace the
springbar.
One side at a time, insert the
round end into the lug holes
and gently pull the bracelet
so that both ends are out.
Place the springbar back
into the holes for use with
another strap.
PLEASE USE CAUTION
WHEN REMOVING THE
SPRINGBAR AS IT COULD
FLY OUT

GENERAL CARE INSTRUCTIONS
* Always have the crown fully secured before submerging into
water.
* Do not attempt to open caseback without prior approval from
Lorier, as this will void your warranty.
* Scratches on the crystal can be buffed out using a soft cloth and
a polishing compound such as Polywatch (not included). In a pinch,
toothpaste will do as well.
* Scratches on the brushed surfaces of the case can be removed
with a green 3M Scotchbrite pad (not included). Brush gently in one
direction until the scratch is removed.
* Scratches on the polished surfaces of the case can be removed
with a Cape Cod cloth (not included). Use caution NOT to make
contact with brushed surfaces.
* Thoroughly rinse in fresh water after submerging in salt water.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. My watch stopped! What can I do?
Your watch runs based on the movements of your arm. Give your
watch a shake and wind using the crown to get the watch moving
again.
2. My watch is not keeping time well! What can I do?
Your watch may be magnetized. A watchmaker with a demagne-
tizer will address the issue within minutes, for a minimal fee.
3. How do I remove the blue sticker on the crown?
Take a piece of tape, place it on the blue sticker, and peel off.
