How to use the watch

{ Name and function of each part ]

*The position of the crown and the power reserve indicator hand may differ depending on the model.

[AUTOMATIC AND HAND WINDING MECHANIS]

1.  This is an automatic winding mechanical watch (with a hand winding mechanism).
2. The mainspring is wound by natural movements of your arm when wearing the watch on your wrist. In addition, you can also wind the mainspring by turning the crown.
3. If your watch stops, either swing the watch back and forth ten or more times or turn the crown to wind the mainspring in order to restart the second hand. After it starts moving, set the calendar and time.
4. When winding the mainspring, slowly turn the crown to the right (clockwise) while in its normal position. Turning the crown to the left (counterclockwise) merely turns the crown uselessly and does not wind the mainspring. You can wind the mainspring fully by turning the crown to the right about 30 times from a stopped position. The crown can still be turned after the mainspring is fully wound. Either use the above count or use the markings on the power reserve indicator when winding the watch.
5. Even if the mainspring is fully wound, it will not be over-wound due to the slip mechanism.
6. This watch will run approximately 50 hours after it is fully wound. If it is not wound enough, the watch may lose accuracy. In order to maintain the watch’s accuracy, we recommend wearing the watch at least 8 hours a day.

[MODELS WITH SCREWED-DOWN CROWN]
Depending on the model, you may not be able to pull the crown out without unscrewing it (models with screwed-down crown), Operate this type of watch as follows:

• Before setting the date and time, first turn the crown counterclockwise to loosen the sorew lock.
• Alter setting the date and time, turn the crown clockwise while pressing in, until it stops turning to securely tighten the screw.

How to set the time & calendar

[How to set the time]

1. Pull out the crown to the second click when the second hand reaches the 12 olclock position (The second hand stops.)

2. Turn the crown counterclockwise and set the current time.
   3# Turn the crown in the hand advance direction (clockwise) until the today’s date is displayed. It change to display [AM.| when the date change. And set the hands further forward to adjust o the current time.

   For the walch with a calendar, make sure that you set either a.m. or p.m.

   without fail. The date changes at [twelve o’clock midnight]

3. Press the crown in to the normal position.

[How to set the date]

CAUTION

Avoid setting the date between 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. since the calendar changes during this time.
If the date is set during this time period, the date may not change or the watch may malfunction. Be sure to move the hour and minute hands away from this time period when setting the date.

1. Pul the crown out to the first clck.

   The crown on this walch can be pulled ot o either of two ciicks.

2. urn the crown clockwise, and set the date to that for the current day.

3. Push the crown back to the normal position.

Correcting the date at the end of the month The date will have to be corrected for months that have 30 days, or those that have less than 30 days. After the date switches over to the first day of the succeeding month, set the date to the. [First (1)

Power reserve indicator

‘The power reserve indicator shows how much the watch is ‘wound, allowing you to see how much longer the watch will run at a glance. The time pointed to by the power reserve hand is the remaining time. When the power reserve hand indicates the 50 or F mark, the mainspring is fully wound.

• The remaining time shown is only an approximation. The time shown may be different from actual remaining time. This product is also equipped with an automatic winding function When itis worn on the wrist, the movement of the arm will wind the mainspring. The amount that the mainspring is wound will depend on the movement of the arm.
  If you do not wind, the power reserve hand will move toward zero as time passes.

Using the rotating indicator ring

Please notice that some models come with a rotating indicator ring, which should be used properly. Turn the ring by pointing the mark to the minute- hand. While certain time goes.
by, you can measure the elapsed time from the distance between minute-hand and figures on the rotating indicator ring. You can also set the  mark as a desired time to remind you how long time is stil remain for an appointment. You cannot turn the ring reversely since it comes with a protection mechanism for preventing wrong operation by force or shock. Figures on the ring could also help you to read the current time easily. Depending on design.
antireversely and 1 minute “cick” sound mechanism on rotating indicator ing does ot 2pply to some models.
How to use the internal rotating indicator ring

Please notice that some models come with an internal rotating indicator ring, which should be used properly. Turn the crown for the internal rotating indicator ring to set the mark to the position of the minute hand.
The position of the internal rotating indicator ring to which the minute hand is pointing after some time has elapsed indicates the elapsed time.
Setting the mark to the desired time also allows you to know the remaining time.

“The above figure shows that 10 minutes have elapsed since 10:08.

The positions of the crown and the appearance of the internal rotating

indicator ring may differ depending on the model.

Caution

4. Make sure the crown is pushed in (normal position) when using the watch. If your watch is the screw-lock type crown and the button, make sure the crown and button is securely tightened.
5. Do not turn or pull out the crown and the button under the water or in the wet condition. Water may enter inside the watch and degrade water-proof capability.
6. For a non-water resistant for daily use watch, pay attention to temporary splashed waterdrops (water splash at facewashing, rain, etc,) and sweat. If the watch becomes wet from water or sweat, wipe it off with dry soft cloth.
7. Even if you are wearing a watch that is a water resistant for daily use, do not expose it directly to the powerful flow of water running from a water tap. The water pressure exceeding waterproofing performance can be encountered and may deteriorate water-proofness.
8. If your watch is water resistant for daily use, rinse the case with fresh water thoroughly when it is dipped in seawater. Then wipe the watch dry to prevent rust.
9. If the leather band is dipped in the water, it may lose its durability and be discolored or unglued. When using the watch in the water, replace the band with other material (metal or rubber) in advance.
10. There are slightly humidity inside the watch. If outer temperature is lower that inside the watch, the glass surface may become cloudy. If the cloudy of moisture is only temporary, the internal mechanism will not be damaged. However, if it remains cloudy for a long time, or if there is moisture inside the watch, consult your purchase shop or the Customer Service.
