SETTING THE TIME
If the timepiece has rested idle for an extended period
and the stored energy is depleted, it can be started
quickly with a few movements of your wrist. Move it
back and forth at a rate of twice per second. (For more
information, see the section on Powering the Timepiece. )

Automatic has a locking screw-down
crown for water resistance. You must unscrew the crown
before pulling it out to the extended position that lets
you set the time.
1. Unscrew the crown from the case. Pull the crown out
to the extended position (a).
2. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands.
3. Push the crown back in and gently turn it clockwise
until it screws into the case. Be careful not to over-
tighten the crown, as this will damage the mechanism.
To set the exact second, wait until the second-counting
hand reaches the zero position before you pull out the
crown. Set the time then wait until the exact second is
reached before pushing the crown back in.
OAKLEY GEARBOX ™ AUTOMATIC
The inspiration behind this Oakley timepiece is the engine of industry that forged civilization. All that mechanical beauty
is refined into Oakley Gearbox
™
Automatic, a Limited Edition with definitive styling. The accenting bronze bezel will take
on its own character by forming a natural patina over time, achieving a finish that echoes the finds of antiquity. This self-
winding timepiece features the uncompromising precision of Swiss Made 25-jewel movement. The back of the titanium
and bronze chassis bears a sapphire window for viewing the integrated mechanics, and a screw-down crown maintains
resistance to water pressure equivalent to a depth of 330 feet. This rare Oakley instrument optimizes comfort with an
Unobtainium

rubber strap matched with a titanium buckle.

POWERING THE TIMEPIECE
Oakley Gearbox
™
Automatic converts every movement of your wrist into energy that is stored mechanically. The design
prevents overcharging, no matter how long the timepiece is worn. After the timepiece has been worn enough to reach
a full charge of stored energy, it has approximately 38 hours of reserve running time (so it will not stop running if you
take it off and store it for up to 38 hours). Daily wear will keep it continuously charged with energy.
If the timepiece has rested idle for an extended period and the stored energy is depleted, it can be started quickly with
a few movements of your wrist. Move it back and forth at a rate of twice per second.
To wind the timepiece manually, unscrew the crown then turn the crown clockwise without pulling it out to the
extended position. When finished, push the crown in and gently turn it clockwise until it screws into the case. Be
careful not to over-tighten the crown, as this will damage the mechanism.
STANDBY MODE
If the timepiece will not be worn for an extended period, you can maintain the stored mechanical energy by using
Standby Mode. Unscrew the crown and pull it out to the extended position to put the timepiece in Standby Mode.
STRAP ADJUSTMENT
For the right fit, some rubber strap models with deployant clasp closures may require trimming of the rubber strap.
An Authorized Oakley Timepiece Dealer should perform the adjustment. Do not attempt to shorten the rubber strap
yourself, as this may result in damage.
CLEANING
Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe off any moisture that adheres to the case or band. (The bronze bezel is designed to
form a natural patina over time, and water droplets may stain the patina. Also note that failure to keep the case and
band clean may result in a skin rash.)
