HOW TO USE

(FOR CAL. 9S86, 9S66)

How to wind the mainspring
○ This watch is an automatic winding type (with manual winding function).
○ The mainspring can be sufficiently wound automatically by natural movement of the
arm while normally worn on the wrist. In addition, it can be wound by turning the crown.
○ A stopped watch can be started by arm movement when it is worn on the
wrist, however, before wearing the watch, wind the mainspring sufficiently
and adjust the time and date. When turning the mainspring, turn the crown
at the normal position clockwise (12 o'clock direction) slowly. If you turn the
crown counterclockwise (6 o'clock direction), it will turn free. The mainspring
is sufficiently wound when the crown is turned approximately 45times (60
times for Cal. 9S66). When the mainspring is in the full-winding state, it is
structured so that the mainspring slips if it is wound. Therefore, it is not
necessary to worry about cutting the mainspring, however, please refrain
from excessive operation.
※ It is recommended that you wear the watch on your wrist more than 10 hours a day
to keep the mainspring wound up. If the mainspring is not wound up sufficiently, the
watch may lose or gain time. If you do not wear the watch on your wrist, wind the
mainspring up sufficiently by turning the crown by hand every day at a fixed time.

How to set the time and calendar

○ To set the time and calendar, set the 24-hour hand and minute hand first,
and then set the hour hand and calendar.
○ When setting the time, make sure that the mainspring is sufficiently wound.
How to set the time

④ Turn the crown to rotate the 24-hour hand and minute hand clockwise and
set them to the current time.
While doing so, set the minute
hand a few minutes behind the
correct time, and then slowly
advance it to the desired time.
※ Only the 24-hour and minute hands
are to be set first. Even if the hour
hand is indicating incorrect time, or
the date may be altered depending
on the position of the hour hand, it
is not necessary to make an
adjustment at this stage.

time signal.
※ The setting of the 24-hour, minute and small second
hands to the current time is now completed.
⑥ To move on to the hour hand and calendar setting,

⑦ Turn the crown to set the hour hand.
While turning the crown, the moment
the date changes is midnight. When
setting the hour hand, be sure that
AM/PM is set correctly. Adjust the
calendar also at this point if
necessary.
※ The crown can be turned in either direction

direction which enables you to set the date
