Congratulations on your purchase Bell Handmade Chronograpgh featuring the VK63 meca-quartz movement! This reliable movement is commonly used in chronograph watches, offering precise timekeeping and additional features. Please read and follow the instructions below for proper operation:

1. Chronograph Function:

• Start/Stop Button (2 o'clock position): To start the chronograph, unscrew the top pusher and press the top button. Press the same button to stop the chronograph. Be sure to screw the pusher down snug once you no longer require the chronograph.

• Reset Button (4 o'clock position): After stopping the chronograph, unscrew the bottom pusher press the bottom button to reset the chronograph hands to zero. Be sure to screw the pusher down snug once you no longer require the chronograph.

2. Time Setting:

• Crown (3 o'clock position): Unscrew the crown by turning it counterclockwise until it is free to be pulled out.

• Time Adjustment: Pull the crown out to the second position and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to set the correct time. Pay attention to whether the watch is displaying AM or PM.

• Push the Crown In: Once the time is set, push the crown back to its original position.

• Screw Down the Crown (if applicable): Your watch has a screw-down crown, screw it back in by turning it clockwise until it is snug Be sure to check that both chronograph pushers are screwed down snug. This helps maintain water resistance.

3. Sub Dials:

1. Sub-dial at 3 o'clock (Right): Chronograph Minutes:

   • This sub-dial displays the elapsed minutes when the chronograph function is in use. It operates in conjunction with the central chronograph seconds hand. Each full revolution of the central seconds hand corresponds to one minute on this sub-dial. This sub-dial is marked with numerical values representing elapsed minutes.

2. Sub-dial at 6 o'clock (Bottom): Running Seconds:

   • The sub-dial at 6 o'clock is the running seconds sub-dial. It displays continuous seconds, functioning independently of the chronograph. While the main timekeeping seconds hand is usually at the center of the dial, this sub-dial provides a more precise reading of seconds, making it easier to time events accurately.

3. Sub-dial at 9 o'clock (Left): Chronograph Hours:

   • This sub-dial shows the elapsed hours when the chronograph function is in use. Similar to the minutes sub-dial, it operates in conjunction with the central chronograph seconds hand.

This sub-dial has numerical values (0 to 24) representing elapsed hours.By following these guidelines, you will ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your Bell Handmade Dive Professional.
