Hesed Icon Instruction Manual
1. Forewords
Thank you for your purchase of the Hesed Icon.
Before using the watch, please read through this instruction manual carefully to ensure correct usage.
We have moved away from the traditional printing of watch manuals so that fellow customers can now readily access this manual wherever you are, with just a few clicks away.
2. Safety Precautions - IMPORTANT
This manual contains instructions that should be strictly followed at all times not only for optimal use, but to prevent any injuries to yourself, other persons or property.
We encourage you to read the entire booklet and understand the meaning of the following symbols:
Safety advisories are categorized and depicted in this manual as follows:

3. Before Using This Watch
Band Adjustment
We recommend seeking the assistance of an experienced watch technician for the sizing of your watch. If adjustments are not done correctly, your bracelet may unexpectedly become detached leading to a loss of your watch or even injury.
Should you be aware of your wrist size, you could also consult our team to arrange for an adjustment prior to the shipping out of your watch.
Protective Stickers
Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.

6. Winding the Mainspring
This is an automatic winding mechanical watch that uses a mainspring as its power source. When wearing the watch, your hand’s movement rotates the oscillating weight to wind the mainspring automatically.
- When your hand’s movements are small and/or a few, winding may not be sufficient
- Once the mainspring is wound fully, the watch will run for about 40 hours
The mainspring is wound for about a day’s movement automatically when wearing the watch for 8 hours or more a day.
- You can wind the mainspring manually as well (see next para)
7. Winding the mainspring manually
1.Push the crown in to position 0
2.Rotate the crown clockwise to wind the mainspring
- When the watch stops, turning the crown about 40 times will wind the mainspring fully
- Turning the crown after the mainspring’s full winding does not damage the mainspring
8. Adjusting the Time
1.Pull the crown out to position 2 as the second hand points 0 second
The second hand stops
2.Rotate the crown to adjust the time
All the hands and date indicator move together.
- Be sure to set AM/PM correctly.
- The hands do not move together when moving hands counterclockwise.
3.Push the crown in to position 0 once you are done adjusting the time
9. Adjusting the Date
1.Pull the down to position 1
2.Rotate the crown counterclockwise to adjust the date
3.Push the crown in to position 0 once you are done adjusting the date
10. Adjusting the Day
1.Pull the down to position 1
2.Rotate the crown clockwise to adjust the day
3.Push the crown in to position 0 once you are done adjusting the day
Kindly note that the day functions will take 2-3 hours to change from one day to another, between 12am – 3am of each new date.
‘SUNDAY’ is specially displayed in red font as a reminder that we are entering into a new week.
11. Characteristics of Mechanical Watches
About time accuracy of mechanical watches
The time accuracy described on this instruction manual is the static accuracy at normal temperature (+5 °C/+41°F to +35°C/+95°F). The accuracy of mechanical watches may be affected by the following three usage conditions:
- Winding amount of the mainspring
Mechanical watches keep their accuracy most stably when the mainspring is sufficiently wound.
- Altitude
Accuracy of mechanical watches are also affected by gravity. Although minute, watches may display minor time discrepancies when worn at high altitudes.
- Usage environment (temperature, magnetism, impact, etc.)
As metal parts are used in maintaining the accuracy in mechanical watches, extreme temperature changes or magnetism may cause the properties of the metals to shift and inherently affect the accuracy of the watches. Strong shocks or impacts may also damage the mechanisms
12. Water Resistance
The Hesed Icon is water resistant up to 30 meters. However, we would strongly advise against swimming with the watch as the watch’s water resistance was not designed against vigorous activities underwater and may compromise the integrity of the waterproof features.
We would also strongly advise against wearing the watch into a warm shower/sauna. Waterproof rings in the watch may age faster when exposed frequently to warm temperature water vapor and this could potentially compromise the waterproof effectiveness of the watch.
Never adjust the knob in water as this may compromise the waterproofing ring.
If the watch is submerged in seawater, rinse it with clean water and dry it with a cloth to prevent oxidation.
