Using and caring for the Swiss Military Hanowa DEFENDER

Operate the chronograph using the pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock: top starts/stops, bottom resets. Avoid pressing pushers underwater to maintain water resistance. Rinse the watch with fresh water after saltwater exposure. Clean the stainless steel bracelet with a soft brush and mild soapy water; dry thoroughly. Condition the leather strap occasionally with a leather cream to prevent drying. Store away from strong magnetic fields and extreme temperatures. Have the water resistance checked annually if used frequently in water.

• Use chronograph pushers only when the crown is pushed in.
• Rinse with fresh water after swimming in sea or pool.
• Clean metal bracelet with soft brush and mild soap.
• Condition leather strap every few months.
• Test water resistance yearly for active water use.

How to choose the right men's quartz chronograph watch

When selecting a quartz chronograph, consider case size, water resistance, crystal material, and strap versatility. The DEFENDER offers a 41mm case that fits most men, 10 ATM water resistance for swimming, a sapphire crystal that resists scratches better than mineral glass, and both a stainless steel bracelet and a leather strap in the box. Its Swiss Ronda movement ensures easy battery replacement and widespread service availability. If you need a thinner dress watch or a higher water rating for diving, other models may suit better.
