SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
1. PULL OUT THE CROWN AT THE 3 O’CLOCK POSITION
SO THAT IS CLICKS TWICE. ROTATE THE CROWN
EITHER DIRECTION UNTIL THE LOCAL TIME IS SET.
2. PUSH IN THE CROWN ONCE. ROTATE ONE WAY TO
SET THE RED HOUR HAND FOR THE SECOND TIME
ZONE. THEN, ROTATE THE CROWN THE OPPOSITE
WAY TO SET THE DATE.

7
THE THIRD TIME ZONE
ONE OF THE FEATURES OF ELISE IS THE ABILITY TO DISPLAY
THREE TIME ZONES. HERE’S HOW TO SET THE THIRD TIME
ZONE:
1. SET THE LOCAL TIME ON THE HOUR AND MINUTE
HAND.
2. SET THE SECOND TIME ZONE USING THE RED 24
HOUR CLOCK BY PULLING OUT THE CROWN ONE
CLICK
3. SET THE THIRD TIME ZONE BY ROTATING THE
CROWN LOCATED AT 4 O’CLOCK AND TURNING THE
OUTER BEZEL WITH THE BLACK NUMBERS WRITTEN
ON IT.
4. FOR EXAMPLE:
a. IF YOU LIVE IN SAN DIEGO AND YOU ARE
VISITING ATLANTA, JUST ASK YOURSELF,
“WHEN IT’S NOON AT HOME, WHAT TIME
IS IT WHERE I AM?” THEN JUST ROTATE
WHATEVER THAT NUMBER IS OPPOSITE
NOON. IN THIS CASE, THE NUMBER 3
WOULD BE ROTATED OPPOSITE 12. WHEN
IT’S NOON IN SAN DIEGO, IT’S THREE PM
IN ATLANTA.
b. NOW EVERYTHING ON THE OUTSIDE IS IN
ATLANTA TIME AND ALL YOU HAD TO DO
WAS ROTATE THE CROWN. JUST READ THE

8
WATCH HANDS NORMALLY BUT USE THE
OUTSIDE NUMBERS FOR ATLANTA TIME.
i. ANSWER: SAN DIEGO TIME:
10:09 ATLANTA TIME: 01:09

MISCELLANEOUS
CAN I WEAR MY ABINGDON WHILE SWIMMING OR
SHOWERING?
YOUR ABINGDON WATCH IS NOT RECOMMENDED WHERE
THERE IS HOT WATER SINCE STEAM CAN GET INTO PLACES
THAT WATER CANNOT.IF YOU SPLASH WATER ON IT, IT IS
OK.I ACCIDENTALLY THREW IT IN THE LAUNDRY WITH MY
CLOTHES AND IT WAS STILL FINE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT
RECOMMENDED TO SWIM WITH IT ON UNLESS YOUR WATCH IS
A 100 METER WATCH.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET MY ABINGDON SERVICED?
A QUARTZ MOVEMENT SHOULD GET ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
EVERY EIGHT TO TEN YEARS. IF YOU USE YOUR WATCH IN
THE WATER, YOU SHOULD CHECK IT FOR WATER RESISTANCE
EVERY TWO YEARS.
HOW SHOULD I WASH MY ABINGDON WATCH?
METAL BRACELETS SHOULD BE WASHED CAREFULLY WITH
MILD SOAP IN WATER. IF IT’S REALLY DIRTY, A SOFT
TOOTHBRUSH WILL HELP. RINSE WITH WATER AND PAT DRY
WITH A SOFT CLOTH. THE CASE SHOULD BE WIPED GENTLY
WITH A MOIST CLOTH AND DRIED CAREFULLY.
FOR LEATHER OR CLOTH BANDS, MILD SOAP AND WATER
PLUS A SOFT CLOTH WILL TAKE CARE OF ANY DIRT, SWEAT
OR OTHER RESIDUE ON YOUR WATCH. IF THE DIRTINESS

10
LEVEL IS REALLY HIGH, A WATCH SERVICE SHOP WILL BE
ABLE TO GET THE WORST STAINS OUT.
WILL HEAT AND COLD AFFECT A WATCH’S ACCURACY?
YOUR ABINGDON WATCH IS DESIGNED TO KEEP GOOD TIME
IF WORN ON YOUR WRIST FOR AT LEAST SEVEN HOURS A DAY.
IF YOU DO NOT WEAR YOUR WATCH FOR AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF TIME DURING EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES
(100°F IN THE SUMMER OR 32°F IN THE WINTER) THEN IT
MAY LOSE UP TO 1 SECOND A DAY, BUT WILL RETURN TO
NORMAL AS SOON AS YOU START WEARING IT AGAIN.
WILL WEARING MY ABINGDON WATCH ON THE INSIDE OF MY
WRIST AFFECT ITS ACCURACY?
NO, WITH QUARTZ, EXTREME TEMPERATURES ARE THE ONLY
VARIABLE THAT WILL AFFECT THE ACCURACY OF THE
MOVEMENT.
HOW LONG WILL THE BATTERY LAST?
THE SILVER OXIDE BATTERY WILL LAST TYPICALLY ABOUT 2
YEARS.
CAN I CHANGE THE BATTERY MYSELF?
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO TAKE YOUR ABINGDON
WATCH TO A WATCH REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE THE PROS DO IT.
UNLESS YOU HAVE THE PROPER TOOLS AND EXPERIENCE
CHANGING WATCH BATTERIES, PLEASE HAVE A WATCH
REPAIRER DO THE JOB.
