Loyal Hands Watch Manuel utilisateur
Congratulations
YOU ARE NOW THE PROUD OWNER
OF A ““LLOOYYAALL””WATCH.
FOR YOU TO OBTAIN COMPLETE
SATISFACTION AND WEARING PLEASURE
FROM YOUR HIGH PRECISION TIMEPIECE,
WE ADVISE YOU READ THIS MANUAL.
Water and Watches
Very few watches are 100% water resistant. Unless your watch is specifically designed for
continuous work in water (e.g. a diver’s watch) it should not be subjected to conditions which can
cause moisture or water penetration.
Water Resistant Watches
On water resistant watches, special seals are used to exclude water and dust. As these seals
deteriorate over time, the seals should be checked every 12 months and whenever a battery is
fitted. (This includes scuba diving watches)
The points of entry where moisture penetration can occur are:
• back case seal and around the push buttons,
• around the glass, or
• at the winding button.
All these aspects may not need to be changed but they should be checked by a qualified
watchmaker to ensure maximum water resistance integrity is maintained.
When batteries are changed the seal is disturbed, therefore a water resistance test is a must.
Manual Wind Watches
Manually wound watches must be fully wound once daily (preferably at a similar time). Do not be
afraid as you cannot damage the watch by turning the winding button with normal finger
pressure.
Automatic Watches
Automatic watches are wound as the watches are worn by the constant movement of the wrist. If
the watch is not worn for long periods it will stop. Most models have 30 hour reserve power.
Quartz Watches
Your quartz (battery powered) watch will supply you with very accurate time keeping.
When supply from the battery is exhausted the watch will merely stop. Different models will have
varying battery life expectancies.

For battery replacement – return your watch to your nearest Wallace Bishop Store.
Quartz watches require regular maintenance and your time piece should be serviced when fitting
each third battery or every 3 years.
Attention to the following:
• Should water or condensation appear in the watch, immediately have it serviced as water can
corrode components.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extremely high or low temperatures.
• Avoid exposing the watch to above normal electro-magnetic fields.
• Although your watch is designed to withstand shocks under normal conditions it is inadvisable
to subject it to hard knocks, rough use or drops on to hard surfaces.
• Avoid fastening the bracelet too tightly. You should be able to insert your finger inside the band
(making sure the wrist is at normal temperature and not overheated).
• Avoid exposing the watch to strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvent, aerosol
sprays, adhesive agents, paint, battery acid, etc., whose chemical reaction would damage the
seals, case, glass or band.
• If your electronic watch stops, have it attended to immediately as the expended battery
may leak.
General Watch Care:
• Have your watch electronically tested at regular intervals. The small amount of oil currently
applied to a watch cannot last indefinitely, and although a watch will run on after the oil has
been used up, excessive wear will take place.
• To apply fresh oil over old is not effective. Congested oil and dust must be removed, and to do
so it is necessary to take a watch completely to pieces, clean and examine every part and re-oil
correctly. Only an expert watchmaker can do this.
• A watch is a fine piece of machinery and should only be handled by an expert working with
modern equipment.
More watches are ruined by neglect of periodical cleaning and oiling than by any other means.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POCKET & PENDANT WATCHES
Important
To prolong the life of the lid catch mechanism of your
Loyal Pendant or Pocket Watch, please ensure you depress
the crown as you close the lid.
By doing this you will eliminate wear in the clip.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To set the time:
1. PULL out crown to B position.
2. TURN crown either way to correct time.
3. PUSH in crown to A position.
Depress
Crown
CALENDAR / DATE
To set the time:
1. PULL out Crown to C position.
2. TURN crown either way to correct time.
3. PUSH in crown to A position.
To set the calendar / date:
1. PULL out crown to B position.
2. TURN crown counter clockwise or towards you to correct date.
3. PUSH in crown to A position.
NOTE: The date changes automatically every 24 hours.
GAS RELIEF VALVE (only on some models)
HELIUM VALVE – The outer visual part of the gas valve is a safety protective locking crown to
protect the gas valve. The user is highly recommended to lock it all times when not using the
watch in the helium gas decompression chamber or living chamber. Even though the protective
locking crown is unlocked, the watch still can resist to 1000M SWP.
The valve will release gas when internal pressure reaches to about 5 Bars. If ascending within
30 meters water-depth from the Helium breathing chamber (Or decompresses within 3 bars in
the chamber), it is not necessary to open the protective locking crown.
Always rinse the watch (with protective crown opened) with warm fresh water after the protective
crown was opened in smutty water or seawater. Dry up before locking the crown.
AUTOMATICS WATCHES
Winding up the watch
Natural movements of your wrist wind up a central rotor of the automatic watch. A ball bearing
rotor produces a lot of energy, so you’ve got a long movement duration that provides running
without interruption.
If you haven’t used the watch for approximately 48 hours, we suggest winding up the crown
about 10 times before wearing.
