Actual appearance may differ from the illustrations.

Winding the mainspring

This is an automatic mechanical watch powered by a spring.
When wearing the watch, your arm’s movement rotates the oscillating weight to wind the mainspring automatically.

When your arm’s movement is small and/or a few, the winding will become insufficient. We recommend wearing the watch as long as possible or winding the mainspring manually in such cases.
When not worn, the mainspring will run out in about 2 or 3 days and the watch will stop.

Winding the mainspring manually

Push the crown into position 0.
Hold the crown with your thumb and index finger and rotate it clockwise slowly.

Rubbing down the crown from the backside of the watch can also rotate it.

When the watch is stopped, turning the crown about 45 times will wind the mainspring fully.
Once the mainspring is wound fully, the watch will run for about 60 hours.
Rotating the crown further after the mainspring was wound fully does not damage the mainspring.

Setting the time

Pull the crown out to position when second-hand points 0 seconds.
The second-hand stops.
Rotate the crown to set the time.
• The hour and minute hands move synchronously as you rotate the crown.
Push the crown into position in accordance with a reliable time source to finish the procedure.

About mechanical watches

The accuracy of a mechanical watch may be affected by using conditions such as below.

Winding amount of the mainspring| A mechanical watch keeps its accuracy best when its mainspring is sufficiently wound.
---|---
The posture of the watch| The accuracy of a mechanical watch varies affected by gravity. The accuracy varies as the result that the watch may take various attitudes while worn and gravitate to a different direction every moment.
Temperature| Metal parts are used for the part for keeping accuracy in a mechanical watch. The accuracy varies affected by their thermal expansion and contraction and change of physical characteristics of a spring owing to temperature variation.

It is recommended to use this watch within +8 °C – +38 °C (46 °F – 100 °F).
Magnetism| Metal parts are used in a mechanical watch. Magnetism affects the and accuracy of the watch in consequence. Do not bring it close to things that have or generate strong magnetism.
Impact and others| Strong shocks and continuous vibration may also affect the accuracy.

Taking care of the magnetism of your surroundings

The most important part in a mechanical watch for its time accuracy is “balance”. The balance has a very small and thin spring (hairspring). It oscillates for a certain period of time to keep the accuracy of a mechanical watch.

Oscillation of the hairspring may fluctuate and the total movement of a mechanical watch is consequently affected much if a thing with strong magnetism exists nearby.

Everyday items with strong magnetism

Notebook computer, smartphone, tablet, tablet cover, speaker, earphones, headphones, clasps of handbags, magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors, magnetic health devices, etc.

Keep the devices and equipment at least 5 cm away from the watch.
