Kupeperusha Saa

Your Certina DS Podium watch is equipped with a Swiss automatic movement. It is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for an extended period, it may require manual winding to restart. To manually wind the watch, unscrew the crown (if applicable) and turn it clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide sufficient power reserve to start the movement.

  2. Weka Tarehe: Pull the crown out to the first position. Turn the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
  3. Weka Muda: Pull the crown out to the second position. Turn the crown to move the hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set by observing if the date changes at midnight.
  4. Kulinda taji: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its original position and screw it down tightly to ensure water resistance.
