HOW TO USE This watch is an automatic watch equipped with a manual winding mechanism. • When the watch is worn on the wrist, the motion of the wearer's arm winds the mainspring of the watch. • If your watch is completely stopped, it is recommended that you manually wind the mainspring by turning the crown.

There is no need to turn the crown further when the mainspring is fully wound. But the crown can be turned without damaging the watch mechanism. Once the watch is wound up fully, it operates for about 50 hours. If the watch is used without being wound up fully, gain or loss of the watch may result.
HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE • Check that the watch is operating, and then set the time and date. • The watch is provided with a date function and is so designed that the date changes once every hours. The date changes around 1 o’clock midnight. If AM/PM is not properly set, the date will change around 1 o’clock noon.
