- Page 6 About automatic accuracy If you are new to automatic watches you may not be aware that generally speaking automatic watches are not as accurate as their quartz counterparts. Whilst it is possible to fine tune an automatic watch to within a few seconds per day, the accuracy is largely dependent upon the power reserve in the watch at any given time.

Page 11: Setting The Time & Date
Setting the time/date Position is for winding in power. Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power the watch. Pull gently into position . For rapid date correction, turn in a clockwise direction.

- Page 14 Appendix The A07, is one of the "new" generation of ETA-movements. The minute hand is not included in the normal gear chain. It stands beside it. All the older movements have a real-minute which stands between the barrel and anchor under pressure in the middle of the movement. The newer ETA movements have a bigger barrel and another wheel calculation to increase the power reserve. Between the minute-hand and the real wheel train are two teeth meshes which have some play (or what we call gear slack). If you calculate the play of the mesh and add the play of the bearing of these wheels you arrive at a fault of 1° to 1.5° for the minute hand. This corresponds to 10 to 15 seconds delay in initially setting the first minute, all subsequent minutes are 60 seconds. However it is not a fault, merely a characteristic of the movement. There is only one solution for the user that is concerned about this tolerance when setting the time.
