Congratulations on purchasing your BH1000! Your support helps us continue creating timepieces. We hope your watch becomes a lifelong companion, maybe even one to pass on someday.

This Owner's Guide is designed to help answer any question you might have about the use and care of your watch. However, should you need further assistance, or just prefer that "human touch", don't hesitate to contact us at info@sortiewatches.com.

P1 Normal Position

(SCREWED-DOWN, NORMAL OPERATION)

Your SORTIE watch is equipped with a screw-in crown that keeps your watch water resistant at depths up to 150 meters/493 feet.

Please make sure the screw-in crown is screwed down before submerging your watch in water.

The BH1000 is equipped with an automatic (self-winding) movement that is wound by the normal movement of your wrist.

Before you wear your BH1000 watch for the first time (or after a long period of not wearing your watch), you will need to manually wind it to get it started.

IMPORTANT – NEVER shake your self- winding watch to get it started. This can damage the movement.

P2 Winding Position

(for manually winding the watch)

To manually wind the watch:

Please unscrew the crown by turning it counterclockwise. It will gently "pop" when the crown has been completely unscrewed. The crown is now in Position 2 (P2).

With the crown in Position 2 (P2) please gently turn the crown 30 - 50 times in a clockwise direction. This will sufficiently wind the movement so that it has sufficient power to begin wearing. Now that you have manually wound the watch, your normal wrist and arm movements will continue to generate power reserve in the watch, literally "self- winding" it. When fully-wound, your BH1000 watch should have an average power reserve of 41 hours.

P3 Date Setting Position

To set the date:
Gently pull the crown once to Position 3 (P3)
and turn it clockwise to adjust the date.

In months with fewer than 31 days, you will need to manually advance the date at the end of the month.

IMPORTANT

Please do not manually change the date when the hour hand is between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM. The automatic date function of the watch is actively engaged during this four hour period (the pinions are being repositioned to carry out the automatic date change), and by manually engaging the date while the hour hand in this four hour period it is possible to damage the self- winding movement.

P4 Time Setting Position

TO SET THE TIME:
Gently pull the crown to the outermost position (P4) and turn it counterclockwise until you have the correct time. Gently push the crown towards the case until you feel some resistance. Still gently pushing the crown towards the case, turn the crown clockwise (do not apply excessive force!), until the crown is fully screwed down and in Position 1 (P1).

IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS be sure that the crown is fully screwed down. Your watch will NOT be water-resistant if the crown is not completely screwed down and in position 1 (P1). Please note that improper use/operation of the crown will invalidate the warranty.

BRACELET

REMOVING LINKS

Unscrew the bracelet pins and remove desired amount of links to shorted the bracelet.

FINE ADJUSTMENT TO CLAS

Once one has taken links out from the bracelet one can micro adjust the bracelet to get the perfect fit. This is extremely useful for quick adjustments.

The buttons (A and B) to micro adjust the bracelet length is on the underside of the clash as shown here. Squeeze the buttons inwards to be able to move the bracelet in or out to shorten or lengthen the bracelet length.
