■HOW TO WIND THE MAINSPRING

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: :
60
The mainspring of the watch is designed to be fully wound when it is worn for twelve hours per day
for three to five consecutive days.
Manual winding:
Five full rotations of the crown will provide the power to run the watch for approximately ten
hours.
Observe the power reserve indicator to check the level of the remaining power.
Refer to "POWER RESERVE INDICATOR" on page 62.
※ The watch employs a device to prevent overwinding of the mainspring. Once the mainspring is fully
wound, the mainspring slips inside, disengaging the winding mechanism. When this happens, you can
still turn the crown without damaging the watch, however, please refrain from excessive operation of the
mainspring.
※ Under a low-temperature condition (below 0℃), always keep at least one-sixth of the watch power shown
by the power reserve indicator.
Screw lock type button is unlocked.
