*note 1
When the watch is charged by any other method than manual winding, such as using KINETIC
ENERGY SUPPLIER, the direct drive indicator hand may move in slightly slower motion.
*note 2
The direct drive indicator hand will stop at the maximum scale value pointing at the 'M+1' position.
If the crown is turned after the direct drive indicator hand stops at the 'M+1' position, the watch
continues to accumulate power reserve, but the real-time power indicator function stops. If you
want to display the a
indicator hand returns to the power reserve display, start turning the crown again.
When the electric power is generated without interruption, for example when an electric charger
is used, the direct drive indicator hand will stop and remain pointing at the 'M+1' position.
*note 3
After the direct drive indicator hand displays the accumulated amount of generated power, it
returns to the power reserve display.
(Caution)
To enjoy the real-time power indicator function, power generation by manual winding is
recommended as it enables you to check the power generating status.
