CHARACTERISTICS OF A MECHANICAL WATCH

(self-winding type, automatic winding type)
● This mechanical watch operates using power obtained from a mainspring.
● If the watch is completely stopped, manually turn the crown approximately 20
times to wind up the mainspring to start the watch.
● While loss/gain of a quartz watch is indicated by a monthly or annual rate, accuracy
of a mechanical watch is normally indicated by a daily rate (loss/gain per day).
● Normal usage accuracy of a mechanical watch varies according to conditions of
use (time period that the watch is worn on the wrist, temperature environment,
hand movement, and winding state of the mainspring).
● When the watch is affected by strong magnetism, it temporarily gains or loses
time. If the watch encounters a strong magnetic field, the parts of the watch may
be magnetized. In this case, repairs such as removal of magnetism are required.
