3. Подешавање
3.1 Подешавање времена
- Pull the crown out to position 2 (the furthest position). The second hand will stop.
- Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set by observing the 24-hour sub-dial.
- Push the crown back to position 0 (normal position) to start the watch.
3.2 Подешавање датума
- Извуците круницу у положај 1 (први клик).
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the date change mechanism.
- Push the crown back to position 0 (normal position).
3.3 Chronograph Hand Zero Reset
If the chronograph hands (seconds, minutes) do not return to the zero position after resetting, they may need to be calibrated:
- Извуците круну у положај 2.
- Press pusher A (top pusher) repeatedly to advance the chronograph second hand to the 12 o'clock position.
- Press pusher B (bottom pusher) repeatedly to advance the chronograph minute hand to the 12 o'clock position.
- Once all chronograph hands are aligned to zero, push the crown back to position 0.
4. Упутство за употребу
4.1 Коришћење хронографа
Хронографска функција вам омогућава да мерите протекло време.
- Почетак: Press pusher A to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Зауставити: Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Ресетовати: Након заустављања, притисните дугме Б да бисте вратили све казаљке хронографа на њихове нулте положаје.
4.2 Коришћење тахиметра
The tachymeter scale on the bezel can be used to measure speed over a known distance (e.g., 1 kilometer or 1 mile).
- Start the chronograph at the beginning of the measured distance.
- Stop the chronograph when you reach the end of the distance.
- The position of the chronograph second hand on the tachymeter scale indicates the average speed per hour. For example, if it takes 30 seconds to cover 1 unit of distance, the hand will point to 120 on the tachymeter scale, indicating a speed of 120 units per hour.
4.3 24-часовни приказ
The small sub-dial typically located at the 3 o'clock position indicates the time in a 24-hour format, which is useful for distinguishing between AM and PM when setting the main time.
4.4 Luminous Features

The hands and hour markers of your Bulova 98B428 watch are treated with a luminous material. After exposure to light, these elements will glow in the dark, providing visibility in low-light conditions. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the exposure time and intensity of light.
5. Одржавање и њега
5.1 Отпорност на воду
Your Bulova 98B428 watch is water resistant to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use, swimming, and snorkeling. It is не suitable for high-impact water sports or scuba diving.
- Уверите се да је круница увек потпуно угурана како би се одржала водоотпорност.
- Немојте користити круницу или потискиваче док је сат мокар или потопљен у воду.
- After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
5.2 Чишћење сата
Да бисте одржали изглед вашег сата:
- Редовно бришите кућиште и кристал меком, сувом крпом.
- За тврдокорну прљавштину користите мало дamp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry.
- Избегавајте употребу јаких хемикалија или абразивних материјала, јер они могу оштетити завршну обраду сата.
5.3 Трајање батерије и замена
Your watch is powered by a quartz movement, which uses a battery. The typical battery life is 2-3 years. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized Bulova service center or a reputable watchmaker to ensure proper battery installation and maintenance of water resistance.
5.4 Leather Strap Care
The leather strap is susceptible to wear and tear. To prolong its life:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture.
- Clean the strap with a soft, damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.
- Avoid contact with cosmetics, oils, and chemical products.
