SCREW-DOWN CROWN
Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require
the setting crown to be screwed in to secure water-
resistance. If your watch case has a protrusion with
screw threads, the crown must be screwed in after
setting the watch.
To screw in, push the crown firmly against the
threaded protrusion and hold in while turning the
crown clockwise. Continue to screw in the crown
until it is tight. You will need to unscrew the crown
(counterclockwise) before pulling it out the next time
you want to set your watch.
