With a press of a button, you can release the lugs and pull them straight from the case – no special tools required, yet exceptionally secure.

Lug-release system
Complex. Worry-free
The lug-release system is designed to inhibit dirt from entering the mechanism, while remaining easy to open for user maintenance if ever needed – without risking damage to other parts of the watch.
Proprietary sapphire crystal
The unique sapphire crystal gives the watch a bright front and sleek profile. It encloses the dial and hands, and is firmly attached to the case with 6 individual screws. Clear from all sides, bevelled, and AR-coated inside. A truly one-of-a-kind design.
Dual time-zones
The Timepod features true GMT functionality, with an independently adjustable hour hand and a 24-hour hand for tracking a second time zone.
Illuminated
A fully illuminated date wheel, integrated with the symmetry of the dial.
Mechanical imagination
– housed within a 11.2 mm scratch-resistant pod. The case itself measures just 6.4 mm.

Manual / Instruction
Lug-release system
To insert lugs:
- Place the lugs, attached to the strap, in the lug-cavities.
- Press the button on the side of the case and push the lugs at the same time, straight into the case.
To remove lugs:
- Press the button on the side of the case and push the lugs at the same time, straight into the case. (After the lugs have slided in just slightly, you can let go of the button).
Note: the mechanism locks itself when lugs are correctly inserted / removed.
Maintaining the Lug-release system:
- Unscrew the 3 mm screw on the side of the case (!) Be aware of loose spring inside when removing the screw.
- Let the piston and button slide out (can be gently pushed from the other side).
- Clean the area inside with a small pipe brush, pressured air, water, or isopropanol.
- Let dry before reassembly.
Winding and Setting the time
Handwinding:
Your watch winds automatically when your wrist is in motion, but you can wind it by hand as well:
- Unscrew the crown and turn it clockwise.
Independant hour hand setting:
- Unscrew the crown and pull crown out 1 click.
GMT and minute hand setting:
- Unscrew the crown and pull crown out 2 clicks.
Date setting:
- Unscrew the crown and pull crown out 1 click – Use hour hand to move date forward or backwards (changes at midnight).
(!) Always press the crown back in and screw it clockwise to lock it to the case. The Timepod is properly sealed only when the crown is screwed in.
(!) After usage in saltwater, rinse the watch with freshwater. To rinse the mechanism, press the release button, pull the lugs from the case and rinse the lug cavities. Leave to dry before reinserting the lugs.
Handling and care
As with all mechanical movements, shocks, drops, and magnetic fields can harm the movement. The sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant but keep it away from hard surfaces to avoid cracks. Take care of your Timepod and it will treat you well.
