OVERVIEW

HOW TO SET THE TIME

Watches with date: Note correct time of day (A.M. or P.M.) for proper date function. (Please see illustration above for 24-HR dial.)

HOW TO SET "FAST DATE"

POWER RESERVE

The watch is self-winding. If you wear your watch every day, there should be no need to wind it every 24 hours, unless the power reserve shows "LOW".
The maximum power reserve is at least 36 hours. The power reserve indicator shows you how much power remains. You should wind your watch when the indicator hand is near "LOW".
