※ The display is provided only as a guide.
※ If the Direct Drive indicator hand points at 0, the watch will stop operating within 3 hours. When the watch stops, the
Direct Drive indicator hand points at the position 1 division below 0, indicating that the energy has been depleted.
※ When you continue to charge the watch after the amount of power reserve reaches nearly 30 days (and the Direct Drive
indicator hand points at the M/Month indicator), the Direct Drive indicator hand points at the position 1 division above
the M/Month indicator. Even in this case, however, the amount of power reserve is approximately 30 days.

Automatic hand alignment ｏｆ the Direct Drive indicator hand
The function of the Direct Drive indicator hand involves complex movements, for example,
to display the power generating status during the power generation. Therefore, the position
2
of the Direct Drive indicator hand may move out of alignment in rare cases, but the watch
automatically corrects the position of the Direct Drive indicator hand once every 24 hours.
●About the movement of the Direct Drive indicator hand during automatic hand alignment
When automatic hand alignment starts, the Direct Drive indicator hand
moves down to the area below 0 and remains there wiggling, and then points
at 0 in the end. After automatic hand alignment is completed, the Direct
Drive indicator hand returns to display the amount of power reserve.

How to read the real-time power indicator

If you temporarily stop turning the crown during the manual winding power generation,
the Direct Drive indicator hand will display the amount of power newly generated.
＜amount of power generated＞
※ The display is provided as a guide.
※ When approximately 4 seconds have elapsed after you stop turning the crown,
the Direct Drive indicator hand will return to the power reserve display.
Estimated amount of power generated by wearing the watch (Automatic generating system)
● By wearing the watch for one day (12 hours), the power
reserve to run the watch for approximately a day and a half
can be additionally charged.
※ In general, if you wear the watch for 12 hours a day for one week, the power reserve to run
the watch for approximately 10 days will be additionally charged.
● If the period you wear the watch per day is not long enough,
observe the Direct Drive indicator hand to check the amount
of power reserve. If necessary, charge the watch by turning
the crown.
