Adria it will be very difficult to find the dial and parts to get it going. YOU might be lucky if only cleaning can get it going but without a dial? Also check with manufacturer for help due to sentimental values.

yes it has two batteries, odn't worry all you have to do now is to bring it to watch service center. I hope i had helped you on this matters.

mcdevito75 here, Croton, a high quality watch, Best Bet is to look for a small watch repair shop in your area for the battery change, these quartz movements can easily be destroyed with mis-handleing and anyway a battery lasts at least 1 year.

The web site is not very informative on some of their watches and only refers to their models by numbers, not names.

If yours says "quartz" then it is an electronic watch.

If you go to their web site http://www.crotonwatch.com/ and select "collections", you will see a number of watches. If yours is shown, then doule click on the illustration and more details will appear.

In the first position (closest to the case but not screwed down if it's a screwdown crown) wind the crown clockwise about 40 turns and it should run fine. The automatic winding system relies on wrist movement to spin a weighted rotor that winds the watch. When you're not wearing the watch or not moving much when you do have it on, it will run down and you have to manually wind it to get it going again. If you wear it everyday and are reasonably active you may never have to wind it but take it off for a day and you will.

You can download the user instructions by going to their web site "croton.com".
Select "customer service" from the menu at the bottom of the screen,

Select "warranty and instructions" from the menu.

Move the slider on the right hand side of the screen down to the bottom and click on the icon.

A generic set of instructions will appear for their watches.
