1. materials and technology
1.1 MARINIUM® OCEAN STEEL
Introducing MARINIUM® Ocean Steel, our own stainless steel that
is fully recycled and meets the highest quality standards (304L and
316L surgical steel). MARINIUM® reduces the CO2 emissions of
our products by more than 60% and is therefore an important fac-
tor in reducing our carbon footprint. The metallic components are
primarily made of MARINIUM® Ocean Steel.
1.2 SOLAR MOVEMENTS
The sun - the energy that powers our world and, in the future, all
PAUL HEWITT watches. Enduring, virtually inexhaustible and, ab-
ove all, precise. In the future, our watches will need nothing but a
natural or articial light source to tell you the time. The solar cell
in the dial converts the incident light into the required energy. And
if there is no light available? No problem because our clocks run
and run and run. With up to 6 months of dark power reserve, no
adventure will stop you.

1.3 SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
Only super scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is considered as pro-
tection for our watches. This will allow your watch to look like the
rst day for years to come and accompany you on all your adven-
tures.

If the link bracelet does not quite t, you can remove individual links
and adjust it to the preferred size. To do this, insert a suitable watch
tool into the opening (1) and loosen the locking pin in the direction
of the arrows (2). Then you can remove/add bracelet links (3) to
adjust the strap length. To close the bracelet, reinsert the pin in the
opposite direction of the arrow and secure it (4).

The VR42 solar movement can run with a fully charged battery for 4
months without being further charged by light sources
(dark power reserve)
2.5 CHARGING TIMES
For normal operation, it is completely sucient if you wear your so-
lar watch in everyday life and it charges itself through the different
light sources. The following chart shows you the different charging
times for our solar watches. These charging times depend on the
intensity of the light source. The data are approximate values.

2.6 WATER RESISTANCE
The following chart shows which activities are possible without da-
maging your watch. Operating the crown on the watch can affect
the water resistance, because the crown only provides protection
when it is screwed on tightly or when it sits on the case. Activating
the pushers of a chronograph under water can inuence the water
resistance, as water can enter the case in this way. Very important:
crown and pushers should not be used under water.

3. general information
External inuences can affect the water resistance of your watch,
which may allow moisture to enter. Therefore, we recommend that
you have your watch serviced on a regular basis. Other service ope-
rations or bracelet repairs should also be done by a professional.
Your watch is equipped with a quality strap that has been tested
several times by us. However, if you need to change your brace-
let, please use a bracelet of the same quality, preferably an original
PAUL HEWITT watch bracelet. Watch and bracelet can be cleaned
with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Attention: Do not use any chemi-
cal cleaning agents (e.g. benzine or paint thinner). This can cause
severe damage to the surface.

3.2 OPERATIONAL READINESS
To keep your solar watch running, you should keep it in a place that
is as bright as possible. Please make sure that the solar dial is not
permanently covered by clothing, as this may reduce the operabi-
lity of your watch. If the energy storage is discharged, keep your
watch in bright light for a quick recharge. The charging time of your
solar watch depends on the intensity of the light source and the
design of the solar dial. The guide data given in the chart (p. 11)
can be used as an orientation.
Important: Do not hold your solar watch too close to light sources
that are too warm! Do not leave your watch in direct sunlight for
a longer period of time! Temperatures above 50° C can damage
the watch!
3.3 DISPOSAL
The crossed-out wheeled garbage can symbol is a reminder that
electronic equipment, batteries and accumulators should not be
disposed of in household waste. If you cannot reuse or recycle your
item, it should be disposed of at a recycling facility or returned to
us at your own costs.
