Operating Instructions
Set-up RESSENCE TYPE 3
The TYPE 3 has a unique set-up mechanism. Unlike traditional watches, TYPE 3 has no
crown for winding or setting the watch. Instead the back case takes over the crown
functions. The different actions normally carried out with a crown are replaced by turning
the back case of the watch.
Important Notice
The TYPE 3 is an automatically winding watch. It will wind while you wear it and keep the
barrel armed. The watch has a power reserve of 36 hours what is plenty enough to be
taken off at night and put back on the next morning without the need to wind it manually.
In the situation the watch has stopped because it has not been wearn for a longer period,
you will need to reset the time. While setting the time in a clockwise direction ( looking at
the dial ) your action will also wind the watch. Setting the time one hour later
is enough to restart the watch. The barrel will wind completely by wearing the watch.
Principle
As the TYPE 3 is automatically winding by wearing it, you only need to set the time when the
watch stopped working*; what is the concequence of not wearing the watch for a longer
period. The logics of an automatic watch imply that setting and winding are actions that always
occure together. When you need to set the time you also need to wind and vice versa.
On the TYPE 3 both actions are combined in one. When you set, you wind, when you wind,
you set. *: exceptions are setting the watch when traveling through different time zones or
when moving from winter to summer time for example.
