Product Usage Instructions
Power Reserve and Winding
In order to maintain power, the watch 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 if the watch
is worn while sleeping, the movement of the wrist is insufficient to maintain
the automatic winding function.
Caution: Do not overwind your watch as this may cause damage to the
movement.
Operating the Watch
To operate the watch, follow these steps:
- For normal running and manual winding positions, turn the crown clockwise (position a).
- To adjust the date, turn the crown anti-clockwise (position b).
- To set the hands, use the crown (position c).
- The date calendar is displayed on the watch (position d).

Braun BN0278 automatic watch
An automatic or self-winding watch is a mechanical watch in which the mainspring is wound automatically as a result of the natural motion of the wearer’s arm, making regular manual winding unnecessary. The winding of the automatic mechanism depends on the intensity of your movements. When you receive the watch for the first time it may not be running. This is because the watch has no power to operate. The watch must be given an initial manual wind with 15 to 20 turns of the crown and then while the watch is worn it will wind itself and maintain the correct time. When setting the time please ensure the hands only move in a clockwise direction to avoid damage. The accuracy tolerance of our automatic movements is -40 to +40 seconds per day, worn under normal conditions.

Setting the date
To ensure that the date indicator jumps to the next day at midnight (and not
at 12h noon), set the date first to the previous day then forward the hands
until the date jumps. Now you know that the hands are positioned at midnight
and you can set the hands to the correct (a.m. or p.m.) time.
Note : The date is changed during the period between 6:00pm and 6:00am.
Do not set the date between these times as it will not alter correctly on the
following day and it may cause damage to the movement.
