Your Longines Hydroconquest is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, if the watch has stopped or has not been worn for an extended period, it may require manual winding.

1. Unscrew the crown by turning it counter-clockwise until it springs out to position 1.
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will manually wind the mainspring.
3. Empurre a coroa de volta e atorníllea no sentido das agullas do reloxo para garantir a resistencia á auga.

Axuste da hora e da data

1. Unscrew the crown by turning it counter-clockwise until it springs out to position 1.
2. Gently pull the crown out to position 2 (first click) to set the date. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct date is displayed. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
3. Pull the crown out further to position 3 (second click) to set the time. The second hand will stop. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. To ensure accuracy, synchronize with a reliable time source.
4. Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 1 and screw it down clockwise firmly against the case to maintain water resistance.

Using the Uni-directional Rotating Bezel

The Hydroconquest features a uni-directional rotating bezel, primarily used for timing elapsed periods, such as dive times.

1. Align the zero marker (triangle) on the bezel with the minute hand at the start of the event you wish to time.
2. As time passes, the minute hand will indicate the elapsed time against the bezel's scale.
3. The uni-directional rotation prevents accidental movement that would indicate a shorter elapsed time, a critical safety feature for divers.

Resistencia á auga

Your Longines Hydroconquest watch is water-resistant to 30 bar (300 meters / 1000 feet). This makes it suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports, but not for saturation diving.

• Asegúrate sempre de que a coroa estea completamente aparafusada antes de expoñer o reloxo á auga.
• Do not operate the crown or pushers (if present on other models) while the watch is submerged or wet.
• Despois da exposición á auga salgada, enxágüe o reloxo con auga limpa e séqueo ben cun pano suave.
