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.
How to 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 ve 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 60.
.Unlock the crown.
Slowly turn the crown clockwise (upward) to wind the
mainspring with extra care not to press it in. Wind the
mainspring until the power reserve indicator shows
a full-wound state. Immediately, the
small second hand starts moving.
Once you nish winding the main
-
spring, make sure you relock 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” on page 62, and How to set the calendar” on page 66.

crown on page 57.

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 num-
ber 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 each day, 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.
