Dear Customers,
Our products are covered by the legal guarantee against hidden defects and are delivered with their contractual guarantee certificate and purchase invoice.
Watches are guaranteed for 2 years from the date of purchase, unless otherwise stated.
In all cases, the warranty booklet or leaflet informs you of the conditions and limits of the warranty.
This does not cover: consumables (batteries, bracelets, cases, etc.), problems arising from incorrect use, misuse of the product or negligence on the part of the consumer (we advise you to read the instructions carefully before using or handling the product), or damage resulting from accidents (e.g. dropping the product).
Some parts and/or materials age over time, and the warranty does not cover alterations due to normal wear and tear.
If you have a problem with your watch, please contact us by e-mail (contact@obelus-watch.com) so that we can process your application as quickly as possible.
Follow the steps below:
- Contact our customer service department using the details above.
- We will send you an acknowledgement of receipt together with a request for further information about the fault or, if the information provided is sufficient.
- On receipt of your return parcel, we will take charge of your product in order to establish a diagnosis, in four possible cases:
- La panne est confirmée et le produit est
réparable sur place, notre atelier d’horlogerie le prend en charge.
- - If the fault is unconfirmed or intermittent (a fault may only be observed under certain conditions of use), our watchmaking workshop will keep the product under observation and contact you to try to establish the conditions of use.
- - The fault is due to negligence or misuse, in which case the product is not covered by the warranty. We will contact you to inform you and, if you wish, draw up a repair estimate. We may be able to claim payment from you for the costs we would have incurred for the return of a product whose breakdown is the result of negligence or misuse.
The whole team thanks you

HOW DO YOU SET THE TIME ON A WATCH?
- SPIN OUT: Turn the crown anti-clockwise.
- MANUAL REASSEMBLY: Turn clockwise to reassemble.
- DATE SETTING: Turn the crown anti-clockwise to set the date.
- TIME SETTING: Turn clockwise to set the time.
- RESET: Press inwards and turn clockwise to lock.
HOW TO USE THE MECA-QUARTZ VK61 MOVEMENT?
- Pull the crown out to the position of the second click.
- Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands (check that the morning and evening hours are set correctly).
- Push the crown back into the normal position.
- Pull the crown out to the first click.
- Turn the crown clockwise to set the date.
- Push the crown back into its normal position
Set the time
*If the crown is pulled out to the second position while the chronograph is running, the chronograph hands will continue to move. This is not a malfunction.
Set the date
*Do not set the date between 9pm and 3am, otherwise the day may not change correctly. If it is necessary to set the date during this period, first change the time outside this period, set the date, then reset the correct time.

HOW TO USE THE COMPASS BEZEL
(NORTHERN HEMISPHERE)
- Check that the watch is showing the correct time, then lay it horizontally and align the watch's hour hand with the direction of the sun.
- Turn the rotating bezel so that the "S" points south, allowing you to read other approximate compass directions.
You can estimate the approximate compass directions based on the position of the hour hand and the sun. Note that these determinations are approximate, as discrepancies may occur at different latitudes and in different seasons.
The point approximately halfway between the 12 o'clock position on the dial and the direction of the hour hand when aligned with the sun indicates south. Morning is on the left side of the dial and afternoon on the right side, facing south.
* In the southern hemisphere, the point approximately halfway between the 12 o'clock position and the direction of the hour hand when it is aligned with the sun indicates north.
HOW TO USE THE SPEEDOMETER
- Start the chronograph when the vehicle starts moving.
- When the vehicle has travelled 1km/1mile, stop the chronograph.
A tachymeter is most commonly used to measure the approximate speed of a vehicle over a known distance.
For example, based on the number of seconds it takes a vehicle to travel 1km or 1mile (the measurement range available is up to 60 seconds), it is possible to calculate the average speed over the distance.
The approximate average speed over the distance can be determined by looking at the current position of the second hand and reading the outer bezel.
Note: The tachymeter readings may appear on the dial ring instead of the outer bezel (depending on the model).
As the illustration shows, it took the vehicle 45 seconds to cover 1 km, so the approximate average speed is 80 km/h (50 mph).
HOUR WORLDWIDE
- View and change the current time (hours) to 24-hour format. (10 hours P.M. → 22 hours)
- Adjust the name of the city (Tokyo = TYO) on the rotating bezel to 22 hours of the 24-hour scale.
- You can determine that the time in Paris (= PAR) is 2pm by looking at the 24-hour scale corresponding to the position of the city name displayed on the rotating bezel.
The rotating bezel (or dial ring) can feature the names of the world's main cities, according to the time zone sequence.
The approximate time in these cities can be determined using the rotating bezel.
Example: You may want to know what time it is in Paris when you are in Tokyo (The time is set according to the time in Tokyo).
The time difference between the main cities is only in hours, the minutes remain the same.
You can find the time in other cities in the same way, but be sure to take account of daylight saving time, which cannot be calculated using the bezel or dial ring.
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR LEATHER STRAP
1
Pull the pin towards the centre of the spring bar until one end of the spring bar detaches. Slide the spring bar out of its hole and remove the strap.
2
Replace a new strap by pulling the pin towards the middle of the strap to retract the free end of the spring bar.
3
Slide the strap into place and release the pin.
J'EN PROFITE
- Never change the date when the hands are between 10pm and 2am.
- Rinse your watch in fresh water after swimming in the sea or pool.
- Do not leave your watch in direct sunlight. This is bad for the oils in mechanical watches and the battery in quartz watches.
- Don't expose your watch to magnets - they're everywhere: bag clasps, speakers, tablets, laptops, security gates, radios, etc.
- We recommend that you have the water-resistance of your watch checked every 1 to 2 years.
- Remove your watch to make the settings: hours, minutes, date, etc.
- Change your leather strap regularly. Leather gets damaged and can break.
- Avoid any violent shocks.
- Do not clean your watch with household cleaning products.
- Have your watch serviced by a professional.
