1. Automatic mechanism
- The Celesti Solara is a mechanical self-winding watch. This means the movement winds itself when worn on the wrist.
- The movement of the hand sets the rotor inside the mechanism in motion, allowing the watch to store the energy needed to operate.
- If the watch hasn't been worn for a long time, it may stop. This is completely normal for automatic watches.
- To restart the watch, you can wind it manually or place it on your wrist and move it around for a few minutes.
2. Glass cover
- The Celesti Solara features a glass caseback that reveals the watch's mechanism. This element highlights the model's technical character and allows for observation of the mechanism at work.
- To maintain the aesthetic appearance of the cover, we recommend wiping it with a soft microfiber cloth.
- Do not attempt to open the caseback yourself. If service is required, it is best to seek the assistance of a watchmaker.
3. Operating the lace
- The crown is used to set the time, date and manually wind the watch.
- Before making any adjustments, operate the crown gently and without using excessive force. Once the adjustment is complete, the crown should be pushed back or screwed down correctly, depending on the watch model.
4. Lace positions
4.1 Position 1 - Winding the watch
- In the first working position you can wind the mechanism manually.
- To wind the watch, turn the crown clockwise. We recommend approximately 20–30 gentle turns.
- Do not use excessive force. If you feel significant resistance, stop turning the crown.
4.2 Item 2 - Setting the date
- Gently pull the crown out to the second stop. In this position, you can set the date.
- Turn the crown slowly until the correct date appears in the date window.
- We do not recommend changing the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as the movement may be preparing for automatic date change during this time. Adjusting the date within this time frame may negatively impact the date function.
4.3 Position 3 - Setting the hour and minutes
- Pull the crown out to the last notch. In this position, you can set the hours and minutes.
- Turn the crown until the correct time is set. Once the setting is complete, push the crown back into its original position.
5. Rotating bezel operation
- The Celesti Solara features a movable bezel that can be rotated around the watch face. This feature is typical of sporty watches and can be used to accurately measure the passage of time.
- To use the bezel, align the main marker on the bezel with the current position of the minute hand. As time passes, the minute hand will indicate how many minutes have passed since the bezel was positioned.
- The bezel should be turned gently, without using excessive force. If resistance is felt, do not break it.
- It is not recommended to rotate the bezel underwater or when the watch is wet. After contact with water, rinse the watch with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth.
6.Additional decorative button
- The Solara model may have an additional side element resembling a button. In this model, it serves a decorative and stylistic function.
- It is not used to set the watch or operate additional functions. Do not force it or attempt to unscrew it, as this may adversely affect the watch's construction.
7. Screwing or closing the crown after adjustment
- After setting the time or date, make sure the crown is closed properly.
- If the crown on your watch is screw-down, gently push it towards the case while turning it clockwise. The crown should be securely closed, but don't force it.
- Closing the crown correctly is very important to protect the watch from moisture.
8. Contact with water
- Before exposing your watch to water, make sure the crown is closed properly.
- Do not operate the crown, bezel, or additional side element underwater or when the watch is wet. This may impair the water resistance of the watch.
- We recommend avoiding bathing, saunas, and prolonged contact with water. In case of accidental contact with water, dry the watch with a soft cloth.
9. Strap or bracelet
- The Solara model is available on a rubber strap or a stainless steel bracelet.
- In the case of a rubber strap, adjust it so that the watch sits firmly on your wrist but does not press against your skin.
- On a steel bracelet, adjustments are made by removing or adding links. Adjustments can be made using a suitable watchmaker's tool. If you are inexperienced, we recommend seeking the assistance of a watchmaker to avoid scratching the bracelet or incorrectly installing links.
10. Sapphire glass
- The Solara model features sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. This is scratch-resistant and ensures high legibility of the dial.
- To maintain the perfect appearance of the glass, we recommend cleaning it with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
11. Storage
- When not in use, it is best to store your watch in a dry and safe place, preferably in its original box.
- If the watch stops after a long period of non-use, simply wind it again or put it on your wrist to restart the mechanism.
- Avoid leaving your watch in places exposed to high temperatures, humidity or strong magnetic fields.
