User manual TISSOT ANALOG WATCHES

[. . . ] To ensure that your watch operates with perfect precision for many years to come, we advise you to pay very careful attention to the advice provided hereafter. This instructions are valid for all TISSOT ® mechanical (handwinding or automatic), quartz, solar quartz or autoquartz watches. Please refer to the explanations relating specifically to your own model of watch. TISSOT ® Quartz watches benefit from the incomparable precision of quartz. [. . . ] Power supply The lithium accumulator has a service life of more than 10 years. Never replace it with a conventional silver-oxide battery because this would irrevocably destroy the movement. (End of Energy) function Your TISSOT® Autoquartz watch is equipped with an E. O. E. If the seconds hand jumps every 4 seconds, this indicates that your watch has run down and needs to be recharged. At this point, it still has a power reserve of between 16 and 24 hours, depending on the model. Winding Models with a screwed crown To ensure that they remain water-resistant, some models are fitted with a screwed crown. Before setting the time or date* or day*, you must first unscrew the crown into position IB before you can pull it out into position II or III. Important: After each operation, you must always screw the crown back down to ensure that your watch remains water-resistant. Hand-winding or automatic watches The hand-winding watches must be wound each day. Turn the crown clockwise into position I (or IB for watches with a screwed crown) or move your watch from side to side a few times if it is an automatic model. Quartz watches Quartz watches are powered by battery and do not require any winding. Autoquartz watches Turn the crown into position I (or IB for models with a screwed crown) for at least 1 minute, the time it takes for your watch to restore normal operation. To recharge your watch quickly, move it from side to side a few times. Solar watches To recharge the accumulator, expose your watch face to either sunlight or artificial light (no crown winding). Care and maintenance We would advise you to clean your watch regularly (except for the leather strap) using a soft cloth and warm soapy water. After immersion in salty water, rinse it in fresh water and leave it to dry completely. Do not leave it anywhere where it might be subjected to major variations in temperature or humidity, in direct sunlight or near strong magnetic fields. We would advise you to have your watch inspected every 3 to 4 years by an approved TISSOT ® representative or retailer. [. . . ] This will substantially reduce power consumption.
