CAUTION

■HOW TO WIND THE MAINSPRING

This watch is a self-winding 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.
When  first  using  a  stopped  watch,  it  is  recommended  that  you  manually  wind  the 
mainspring by turning the crown.

※  The  watch  employs  a  device  to  prevent  overwinding  of  the  mainspring.  Once  the  mainspring  is  fully 

wound,  the  mainspring  slips  inside,  disengaging  the  winding  mechanism.  When  this  happens,  you  can 

still turn the crown without damaging the watch, however, please refrain from excessive operation of the 

mainspring.

※  Under a low-temperature condition (below 0℃), always keep at least one-sixth of the watch power shown 

by the power reserve indicator.

●Guide for winding state of the mainspring

Self-winding::

The mainspring of the watch is designed to be fully wound when it is worn for twelve hours per day 

for three to five consecutive days.

Manual winding:

Five full rotations of the crown will provide the power to run the watch for approximately ten 

hours.

Observe the power reserve indicator to check the level of the remaining power.

Refer to "POWER RESERVE INDICATOR" on page 55.

●How to manually wind the mainspring by turning the crown

In order to set the time and calendar after winding 

the mainspring manually, do not relock the crown but 

continue the procedures.

※ Refer to "HOW TO SET THE TIME AND CALENDAR" on page 57.

1. Unlock the crown.
2.  Slowly turn the crown clockwise (upward) to wind the mainspring with 

extra care not to press it in. Wind the mainspring until the power re-
serve indicator shows a full-wound state. The second hand starts moving.

3.  Once you finish winding the mainspring, 

make sure you relock the crown.

※ Refer to "How to use the screw lock type crown" on page 52.
※ Refer to "How to read the power reserve indicator" on page 56.

■POWER RESERVE INDICATOR

Before removing the watch from your wrist, 
observe  the  power  reserve  indicator  to 
check if the watch has stored enough power 
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.)

※  The continuous operable time of the watch may vary depending on actual use conditions, such as 

the number of hours you wear the watch or the extent of your movement while wearing it.

※  In a case where you wear the watch for a short period of time, observe the power reserve indica-

tor to check the level of the remaining power. If necessary, manually wind the mainspring.

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.

The crown can be turned in either direction 

to adjust the date, however, it is recommend-

ed to turn the crown in the direction which 

enables  you  to  set  the  date  with  a  smaller
