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. Contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
