HOW TO READ THE POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
•
The power reserve indicator lets you know the winding state of the
mainspring.
•
Before removing the watch from your wrist, observe the power reserve
indicator to check if the watch has enough power stored to keep running
until the next time you wear it. If necessary, wind the mainspring. (To
prevent the watch from stopping, wind the mainspring to store the excess
power that will allow the watch to run for extra time.)

*
When the mainspring is fully wound, the crown can be turned further
without damaging the mainspring itself. The mainspring of the watch
employs a slipping mechanism to prevent the mainspring from over-
winding.

The orientation of "the power reserve indicator" may slightly vary
depending on the model.
*
Power reserve indication is intended only as a guide. Thus, the power
reserve indicator may or may not be right over / after the "E" when the
watch stops.
