Automatic Movement Operation Manual
Automatic watches can be used only by those who are reasonably active as the automatic
winding relies on a regular movement of the wrist. The watch must be given an initial manual
wind of 8 to 10 turns and provided that it is worn on the wrist for a minimum of 8 hours each
day it will continue to function indefinitely and 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 when worn in bed the movement of the wrist is
insufficient to operate the automatic winding.
Time Stand Accuracy
1)
21,600 beats per hours

Water resistance is not permanent. In the course of time, the gaskets of the case and
crown may become worn and reduce the water resistance of your watch. We recommend
the periodic checking.
Normal Crown
– always make sure it is pushed fully into case
Screw down Crown
– tighten screw down crown completely to screw lock position.
To maintain water –resistance crystal, crown and case must remain intact
Exposure to Salt Water
If your watch is designed for sports or working in the water and it becomes exposed to salt
water or significant amounts of perspiration, it should be rinsed in fresh water and dried
thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
Important
Buttons must not be operated while in contact with water

Instructions for setting the Home time / Dual Time
Important: Before setting the Dual Time check if the hour hand is synchronised to full
hour on Dual Time dial. If the hour hand is not synchronised to the full hour then turn
the crown anti-clockwise until the hour hand is positioned exactly on the full hour and
then turn the crown clockwise until the minute hand is positioned exactly at 12 o’clock
mark.
1)
Pull the crown out to first position and turn the crown anti- clockwise to set the
dual time. For example, if the local time is 12 o’clock, duel time can be set for
different country’s local time i.e. Paris 1 o’clock. Refer to the World Time Zone
table on Page 5.
2)
Once the correct duel time is set, turn the crown clockwise to set the correct
home time.
3)
Finally push the crown back to normal position.
Important
Do not set the day & date between 06.00 PM and 06.00 AM, as this may
cause damage to the movement.

th
.
2)
Now pull the crown out to first position and turn the crown anti-clockwise until the
date is corrected.
3)
Once date is corrected, set the correct home time by turning the crown anti-
clockwise but make sure the time is set onto AM or PM.
4)
Finally push the crown back to normal position.
Power Reserve Dial
This watch has a Power Reserve Indicator Dial to show amount of power remaining within the
movement. Wind the watch until the indicator hand on Power Reserve dial reaches the full
power position, which means that it is now in full power. If the watch is not in use and Power
Reserve Indicator hand is on full power position the watch will continue to function until the
indicator finally reaches to low power. At this stage the power indicator needs to be rewound
until it reaches to full power position stage.
