■POWER RESERVE INDICATOR

※  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.

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.)

●HOW TO READ THE POWER RESERVE INDICATOR

※  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.

Power reserve indicator

The power reserve indicator lets you know the winding state of the main-
spring.

■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.

●How to set the time

1. Make sure that the mainspring is sufficiently wound and the watch is working.
※ When setting the date and time, ensure that the watch is working.

3.  Pull out the crown to the second click 

when the small second hand is pointing 
at the " 0 " second position. The small 
second hand will stop on the spot.

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.

2. Unlock the crown.
     Refer to "How to use the screw lock type 

crown" on page 57.

Pull the crown 

out to the first 

click.

Small second hand is pointing at 

the " 0 " second position.

Pull out the 

crown to the 

second click.

5.  Push the crown back in simultaneously 

with the time signal

.

※ The setting of the 24-hour,  

minute and small second  
hands to the current time  
is now completed.

Push the crown back in simul-

taneously with the time signal.

6.  To move on to the hour hand and cal-

endar  setting,  pull  the  crown  out  to 
the first click.

Set the 

24-hour
