SPINNAKER SP-5099 Automatic Watch
Product Information
The timepiece is equipped with a self-winding Mechanical Automatic movement. It is powered by the motions of the user’s own wrist during the wear of the watch. The watch does not need a battery and can also be manually wound. The watch has an hour hand, minute hand, second hand, screw-down crown, uni- directional turning bezel, and a date day display.
Screw-down Crown
The screw-down crown is used to ensure water resistance. Always make sure that
the crown is securely screwed down. Position [0] is secured and positions [1],
[2], and [3] are not secured for water
resistance. Do not unscrew your crown while you are in any environment where
moisture is present.
Uni-directional Turning Bezel
The uni-directional turning bezel is used to measure elapsed time. It can only be turned counter-clockwise and is designed to prevent accidental rotation in the clockwise direction, which could result in the diver underestimating the elapsed time.
Date Day Display
The watch has a date day display. To set the correct date, unscrew the crown and pull it out to position [2] (1st click). Turn the crown anti-clockwise to set the correct date. Push the crown in then screw it securely.
Product Usage Instructions
Using the Screw-down Crown
Do not pull the crown unless it is unscrewed first. To unscrew, turn the crown anti-clockwise until it turns freely without tension. Gently pull the crown out to the other desired positions for watch setting. To screw, push the crown all the way in (towards the watch) then begin to turn clockwise until it is securely screwed down. Failure to securely screw down the crown after setting the watch may affect its water resistance.
Winding the Mainspring
Before using the watch, manually wind the mainspring to start it moving. Unscrew the crown by turning it anti-clockwise. When it is in position [1], turn the crown clockwise to wind. Wind 5-10 times and it will start to move naturally after shaking slightly. Push the crown in then screw it securely. This watch must be worn for at least 8 hours each day to ensure it is fully wound. An automatic watch will only wind when the watch is on your wrist and your arm moves. Winding the watch by the crown will put power on the spring but not enough to allow the watch to function fully. If your watch stops overnight or loses time, it means it is not being fully wound.
Setting the Time
To set the correct time, unscrew the crown and pull it out to position [3] (2nd click). Turn the crown clockwise to set the correct time. Push the crown in then screw it securely.
Important Note: If your watch is running smoothly, do not wind the crown to avoid over winding the movement. Provided you are wearing the watch frequently, your watch should have sufficient power to operate without any fuss. If your watch has stopped running after a period of not wearing the watch, gently move the watch side to side 20 to 30 times to move the rotor or gently turn the crown 5 to 10 times to get the second hand run at its normal speed.
This timepiece is equipped with a self-winding Mechanical Automatic movement. It does not need a battery. It is powered by the motions of the user’s own wrist during the wear of the watch. You may also choose to wind the watch manually.

- Note that the water resistance chart serves only as a guide (please refer to the water resistance chart on the next page). Actual water resistance may vary depending on a number of factors including water temperature, water salinity and use under water.
- The water resistance of your timepiece may eventually be compromised over time with general wear and tear and use of your timepiece under adverse conditions.
- Always remember to employ the screw down crown if available to maintain the water resistance of your timepiece. Warranty may be voided if the screw down crown has not been properly employed.
- Note that you should NEVER wear your watch in a jacuzzi, hot shower or steam room where steam may enter the case despite the watertight seals used to protect your watch.
- This may cause condensation inside your watch, which may affect and damage the inner workings of your watch.
