How does it wear? Surprisingly well for a watch with a 42mm diameter, mainly thanks to the rather stubby lug length of 48mm. Dimensions: 42mm diameter x 14mm height x 48mm lug to lug.Can it truly outperform that stalwart of diving watches? Let’s check it out.

If you are not going to wear your timepiece for an extended period of time, you can pull the crown out to time-setting position to reduce drain on the battery. If your watch doesn’t work after installing a new battery, it’s possible that the insulator fell out, or the new battery cell could be bad.Īs mentioned above the caliber 515.24H has a built-in power saving mechanism. It is necessary to prevent shorting out the battery. The thin orange/brown colored disc or tab below the battery is an insulator. Do not remove the screw and do not touch the coil. The battery will pop out like in this video. Gently put your tweezers or other tool in the hole and slide it over – not too hard and not too far. To remove the battery, there is a metal locking mechanism that uses tension to hold it into place. Ronda claims that the battery should last up to 45 months. The correct battery cell for the 515.24H is number 371. While the crown is in position date setting mode (position 2), pressing this with your tweezers or other tool will allow the stem be unlocked so you can pull it out. To remove the crown/stem, find the hole with the arrow. This position will also hack (stop) the seconds hand which also serves as a power saving mechanism.
In the case of the caliber 515.24H this is also the position for setting the GMT hand.
