2. Configuración y bobinado inicial

Your RAYMOND WEIL automatic watch is powered by a mechanical movement that winds itself with the motion of your wrist. For the first use, or if the watch has stopped, it requires manual winding to build up its power reserve.

2.1 Bobinado inicial

1. Gently unscrew the crown (if it's a screw-down crown) or pull it out to position 0 (normal operating position).
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will fully wind the mainspring and provide a sufficient power reserve for the watch to start running.
3. Push the crown back into position 0 and screw it down securely (if applicable) to ensure water resistance.

Once wound, the watch will continue to operate as long as it is worn regularly. If not worn, the power reserve typically lasts for approximately 38 hours.

2.2 Configuración de la hora

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The seconds hand will stop.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time. To avoid confusion between AM and PM for the date change, advance the hands past 12 o'clock until the date changes, then set the correct time.
3. Una vez ajustada la hora, vuelva a colocar la corona en la posición 0. El segundero reanudará su movimiento.

2.3 Configuración de la fecha

1. Tire de la corona hasta la posición 1 (posición central).
2. Turn the crown clockwise to advance the date to the correct day. Importante: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and could be damaged. If you need to set the date during this period, first set the time outside this window (e.g., to 6 AM), then set the date, and finally reset the time.
3. Vuelva a colocar la corona en la posición 0.

2.4 Ajuste de la fase lunar

The moon phase display indicates the current phase of the moon. This complication is typically set using a small corrector button on the side of the watch case, often requiring a specialized tool (like a toothpick or a small pin) to press it.

1. Locate the moon phase corrector button on the watch case (refer to your watch's specific design, usually on the left side).
2. Using a non-metallic pointed tool, gently press the corrector button to advance the moon phase disc.
3. Consult a moon phase calendar to determine the current moon phase. Advance the disc until the correct phase is displayed.
4. Importante: Similar to the date, avoid setting the moon phase between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the mechanism.

3. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

3.1 Daily Wear and Power Reserve

For optimal performance, wear your automatic watch daily. The natural motion of your wrist will keep the mainspring wound. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (e.g., more than 38 hours), it will stop. Simply re-wind it manually as described in Section 2.1 before wearing it again.

3.2 Understanding the Moon Phase Display

The moon phase indicator shows the lunar cycle, typically through an aperture on the dial. It displays the illuminated portion of the moon as seen from Earth. The cycle from new moon to new moon is approximately 29.5 days. Once set correctly, the moon phase will advance automatically with the watch's movement.

3.3 Resistencia al agua

Your RAYMOND WEIL Maestro 2839-STC-00209 watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming and showering. It is no suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down (if applicable) before any contact with water.

• 50 meters (5 ATM): Suitable for showering and swimming in shallow water.
• No No accione la corona ni los pulsadores mientras el reloj esté mojado o sumergido.
• Evite exponer el reloj a cambios extremos de temperatura, que pueden afectar los sellos de resistencia al agua.

4. Mantenimiento

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and accuracy of your RAYMOND WEIL timepiece.

4.1 Limpieza

• For the stainless steel case, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and fingerprints.
• For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a dry, soft cloth.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or solvents on your watch.

4.2 Intervalos de servicio

An automatic mechanical watch requires periodic servicing to maintain its precision and functionality. It is recommended to have your watch inspected and serviced by an authorized RAYMOND WEIL service center every 3-5 years. This service typically includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement, as well as checking and replacing seals for water resistance.

4.3 Almacenamiento

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If you own a watch winder, it can keep your automatic watch running and correctly set when not on your wrist.

4.4 Cómo evitar los campos magnéticos

Strong magnetic fields can affect the accuracy of mechanical watches. Keep your watch away from strong magnets found in speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices, and magnetic clasps on bags.

5. Solución de problemas

Si tiene problemas con su reloj, consulte las siguientes soluciones comunes:

5.1 El reloj no funciona o se detiene con frecuencia

• Reserva de energía insuficiente: Ensure the watch is fully wound by manually turning the crown 30-40 times (Section 2.1). Wear the watch regularly to keep it wound.
• Falta de movimiento: If you have a sedentary lifestyle, your wrist movements might not be sufficient to keep the watch fully wound. Consider manual winding more frequently or using a watch winder.
• Interferencia magnética: Check if the watch has been exposed to strong magnetic fields. If suspected, an authorized service center can demagnetize it.
• Mechanical Issue: If the problem persists after winding and checking for magnetic interference, there may be a mechanical issue requiring professional service.

5.2 Incorrect Time or Date Display

• Ajuste de hora: Re-set the time as per Section 2.2. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
• Ajuste de la fecha: Re-set the date as per Section 2.3, paying attention to the 9 PM - 3 AM restriction.
• Ajuste de fase lunar: Re-set the moon phase as per Section 2.4, observing the 9 PM - 3 AM restriction.

5.3 Condensación bajo el cristal

If you notice condensation under the watch crystal, it indicates a breach in the water resistance. This requires immediate attention to prevent damage to the movement.

• Acción: Take the watch to an authorized service center as soon as possible. Do not attempt to dry it yourself.
