INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Starting the watch
Your watch contains an automatic movement.This uses a weighted rotor that transfers kinetic
energy through a series of gears into a mainspring that then releases the energy throughout
the day.
To cut a long story short: your watch can run off the movement of your wrist, but if there is
no energy in the mainspring (let’s say you did the unthinkable and left the house without it on)
it will need some intervention to get it started.
A few clockwise turns of the crown will restart the watch.To manually re-power your watch,
unscrew the winding crown anticlockwise from the case to position I. Wind the crown in a
clockwise direction for approximately 20 revolutions (please note you can’t overwind your
watch’s movement).
Push the winding crown back to the normal position (0) and screw down clockwise to keep
it watertight. It will then automatically wind itself from the movement of your wrist as you
wear it. If normal daily activity is not sufcient, manual winding (or getting off the sofa) may
be necessary.
Setting the time
Unscrew the winding crown anticlockwise from the case and pull it out to the second click
(position 2).Turn the crown anticlockwise to advance the hour/ minute hands until they
indicate the desired time.

YOUR STRAP
Replacing your strap
With their in-built quick-release pins, our leather and rubber straps are simple to change over.
A. To remove the strap, locate the quick-release pin and pull inwards to detach
B. To reattach your strap, pull the pin inwards and align the spring bars so that they click
securely into the lug holes on each side. You should feel the spring bars pop back into
place. Give the strap a soft tug to ensure that it is securely attached. Get on with the rest
of your day.
Micro adjustment on your bracelet
The clasp on your bracelet is tted with an adjustment system enabling you to lengthen or
shorten your bracelet by 5mm on either side – ideal for a hot summer’s day.
C. Open the clasp by pushing on the buttons to release.
To extend, pull the lever to unlock and simultaneously pull the bracelet into the desired
position. To shorten, simply push the bracelet back into the clasp.
To replace your metal bracelet, you’ll need a springbar tool to swap it on or off. If the thought
of trying this gives you the fear, we recommend getting a local jeweller to do this to avoid
any scratches.

CARING FOR YOUR WATCH
All TRIBUS watches are Swiss-made – an indicator of quality itself. Your watch has been
engineered to last, but to ensure it continues to operate at its best we recommend
the following:
• Never unscrew the winding crown or internal bezel winding crown underwater.
Always ensure any crowns are screwed into the case to maintain water-resistance;
• Avoid thermal shocks and exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, below 0°C
or above 60°C (sauna, baths, etc.);
• Never use corrosive/chemical products to clean your watch;
• Avoid contact with certain chemical substances (petrol, thinners, perfumes, cleaning
products, glues, paints, etc.), to prevent any damage to your watch and its strap;
• Avoid exposing your watch to a powerful magnetic eld (magnets, loudspeaker, etc.);
• Avoid violent impacts;
• Avoid leaving your watch immobile for long periods of time. Only regular wear prevents
the oils contained in the movement from congealing;
• Never attempt to open the case of your watch yourself. If you have any issues, let us
know instead;
• After immersion in sea water, the watch and bracelet (if worn) should be rinsed
carefully in fresh water.We recommend against exposing leather straps to water.
Water Resistance
The TRI-08 Premier League Champions Special Edition is water-resistant to a depth of
150 metres (15 ATM). Do not use the watch at a depth greater than that indicated.
Servicing
Any well-made watch is designed to withstand a lifetime of active wear, and ours are no
different.To ensure your TRIBUS watch continues to perform at its best, we recommend having
it serviced every 3 years (think of it like taking your car to the garage to ensure it’s kept in
the best possible condition). If you have your watch serviced by us within 3 years of its initial
purchase, its movement will be covered under warranty for another 3 years.
To arrange a service, please speak to one of our Customer Services team, who will arrange a
collection – they’ll need an address, a date for collection and a contact number. You’ll then be
provided with instructions and a returns label to attach to your watch’s packaging.
Guarantee
Your TRIBUS watch is guaranteed against all manufacturing defects for 3 years from the date
of purchase.This means that in the unlikely event you encounter any problems, we’ll repair or
replace the movement or part in question as necessary. If the repair work/replacement does
not fall under the terms of our guarantee (for example, our Swiss technicians diagnose the
issue to be the result of user fault), a cost may be incurred.
