Watch Setup - Diver Swiss Quartz
Thanks for picking up a Clocked-Out Collective watch. Let’s get you set up.
Inside your Diver is a Swiss-made Ronda 515 quartz movement. It’s accurate, reliable and about as low-maintenance as a watch gets. Set it once, and it’ll take care of the rest.
Getting to Know Your Crown
Your crown screws down to keep water out, so you’ll always unscrew it before making any adjustments.
| Position | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Position 0 (pushed in) | Normal operation |
| Position 1 (first click) | Set the date (if your model has one) |
| Position 2 (second click) | Set the time |
Setting the Time
- Unscrew the crown by turning it toward you until it pops free.
- Pull it out to Position 2.
- Turn the crown to set the correct time.
- Push the crown back in, then press gently and turn it away from you until it’s screwed down snug. Don’t force it.
Setting the Date (models with a date only)
- Unscrew the crown and pull it out to Position 1.
- Turn the crown away from you until the correct date appears.
- Push the crown back in and screw it down snug.
IMPORTANT: Avoid changing the date between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. That’s when the date mechanism is working its way to the next day, and adjusting it then can cause it to skip or misalign.
Low Battery Warning
Your movement has a EOL (End-of-life) indicator that will tell you when the battery’s running low. If the seconds hand starts jumping in 4-second steps instead of ticking every second, it’s time for a new battery. The watch will still keep accurate time for now, so there’s no rush. Just book a replacement soon. When you do, have the water resistance re-tested too. See the Watch Care Guide for more.
Using Your Dive Bezel
A dive bezel is basically a built-in timer. Divers use it to track how long they’ve been underwater, but it’s just as handy for timing a parking meter, a workout or steaks on the grill.
Step 1: Line it up. Turn the bezel until the triangle lines up with the minute hand. Your bezel only turns one way (counter-clockwise), so keep turning until you get there.
Step 2: Go about your business. Leave the bezel alone. The minute hand keeps moving as time passes.
Step 3: Read the time. When you want to know how long it’s been, look at the number on the bezel the minute hand is pointing to. That’s your elapsed time in minutes.
Why one way? If the bezel gets bumped, it can only move in the direction that makes it look like more time has passed, never less. For a diver, that means you’ll always surface early, never late. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference.
