This watch is a self-winding watch equipped with a manual winding mechanism.
When the watch is worn on the wrist, the motion of the wearer’s arm winds the mainspring of the watch.
When first using a stopped watch, it is recommended that you manually wind the mainspring by turning the crown.
Guide for winding state of the mainspring
Self-winding:
The mainspring of the watch becomes fully wound when the watch is worn for twelve hours per day for three to five consecutive days.
Manual-winding:
It is possible to wind up for appropriately 10 hours by rotating the crown 5 times.
Observe the power reserve indicator to check the winding state of the mainspring.
This watch is configured in such a way that the mainspring cannot be over-wound.
Even if you turn the crown after the mainspring is fully wound, the mainspring will not wind up any more. Even if you continue to turn the crown, it will not damage the watch, however, please refrain from operating the crown excessively.
Under a low-temperature condition (below 0 °C), please keep at least one-sixth of the watch power shown by the power reserve indicator. There are possibilities that the watch may stop.
