The figures of "Time required for charging the watch to start moving at one-second
intervals" are estimations of time required to charge the stopped watch by exposing
it to light until it moves at steady one-second intervals. Even if the watch is partially
charged for a shorter period, the watch will resume one-second- interval movement.
However, it may shortly return to two-second-interval movement. Use the charging
time in this column as a rough guide for sufficient charging time.
 The required charging time slightly varies depending on the design and the dial color of the
