Braun BN0278 automatic watch
An automatic or self-winding watch is a mechanical watch in
which the mainspring is wound automatically as a result of the
natural motion of the wearer's arm, making regular manual
winding unnecessary. The winding of the automatic mechanism
depends on the intensity of your movements. When you receive
the watch for the first time it may not be running. This is because
the watch has no power to operate. The watch must be given an
initial manual wind with 15 to 20 turns of the crown and then while
the watch is worn it will wind itself and maintain the correct time.
When setting the time please ensure the hands only move in a
clockwise direction to avoid damage. The accuracy tolerance of
our automatic movements is -40 to +40 seconds per day, worn
under normal conditions.
Automatic watch power reserve
In order to maintain power the watch may be taken off the wrist
for a maximum period of 30 hours. If this period is exceeded the
movement will stop and another manual wind will be necessary. It
must be remembered that if the watch is worn while sleeping the
movement of the wrist is insufficient to maintain the automatic
winding function.
Caution: Do not overwind your watch as this may cause damage
to the movement.

Setting the date
To ensure that the date indicator jumps to the next day at
midnight (and not at 12h noon), set the date first to the previous
day then forward the hands until the date jumps. Now you know
that the hands are positioned at midnight and you can set the
hands to the correct (a.m. or p.m.) time.
Note: The date is changed during the period between 6:00pm
and 6:00am. Do not set the date between these times as it will
not alter correctly on the following day and it may cause damage
to the movement.

or neglect.
