SCREW-DOWN CROWN

Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require the setting crown to be screwed in to secure waterresistance. 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.
