1. WINDING
Automatic winding
Constant arm movements cause the rotor to pivot and then the self-
winding mechanism sets the watch in motion.
Manual winding
When using the watch for the first time or if it has not been worn for a
long period, it is recommended to wind the watch 8-10 times, rotating
the winding crown clockwise. For future reference, you need to rotate
the winding crown 40 times in order to fully wind the watch manually.
The power reserve is approximately 42 hours. Stop rotating the crown
as soon as you feel any resistance.
Before setting the current time, date or manually winding the watch,
release the winding crown from the safe/screwed-down position.
In order to do so, you need to turn the crown several times in a
counterclockwise direction until you hear a gentle click, which will let
you know it is now in the unscrewed position for winding.
The Chameleon is a wrist watch that has an automatic movement.

2. SETTING THE CURRENT DATE
Pull the winding crown of the movement out into position III.
Turn the winding crown counterclockwise to set the current date.

hand will start moving.
After setting the current date, the time and having wound the watch,
return the winding crown to the neutral position by pressing it in
towards the case and return it to the safe/screwed-down position by

at a depth of 100 m when the winding crown is in this position.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, CARE AND STORAGE
1. WATER RESISTANCE
Chameleon watches have a water resistance of 10 atm, this
water resistant mark is conditional and denotes a pressure of 10
atmospheres. This watch will not be damaged by splashes or rain,
and you can wash your hands without taking it off. You can swim with
this watch and it can be submerged in water. However, these watches
are not suitable for scuba diving.
Over time, seals will age and become worn, which will have a negative
impact on the water resistance of the watch. We recommend that you
have the condition of the gasket examined and the water resistance
checked once a year at an authorized service center and have the
seal replaced if necessary.
ATTENTION: IF YOU CONTINUE TO WIND THE WATCH AFTER YOU HAVE
FELT RESISTANCE, YOU RUN THE RISK OF BREAKING THE TIP OF THE
SPRING. IF THIS OCCURS, THE BARREL WHERE THE MAINSPRING IS
WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE OWNER’S OWN EXPENSE.
Do not set the date between 21.00 and 01.00. This could damage
the watch movement. ATTENTION: PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST NOT PULL THE
CROWN OUT WHEN THE WATCH IS WET.

2. CARE
We recommend that you clean the watch regularly (except for the
leather strap) with a soft cloth moistened with warm soapy water.
Never attempt to open the case or remove the back cover by yourself.
The rubber gasket protecting the watch from water and dust should
be replaced every 2-3 years.
If the inside of the watch gets wet, you should bring it to an authorized
service center to have it checked immediately.
Do not expose the watch to extreme temperatures.
Treat the watch with care and avoid any hard impact (bumps, falls,
etc.).
Do not fasten the strap too tightly. You should be able to slide a
finger between your wrist and the strap.
The watch should be stored in a dry place.
Do not let it come in contact with gasoline, cleaning solvents, spray
aerosols, adhesives, paint, etc. These substances cause chemical
3. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
reactions which could damage the gasket, case and the polished
surfaces of the watch.

damage sapphire crystal.
It is preferable to store the watch in a special separate box, lined with
soft protective material.
