English HOW TO READ THE POWER RESERVE INDICATOR • The power reserve indicator lets you know the winding state of the mainspring. • Before removing the watch from your wrist, observe the power reserve indicator to check if the watch has enough power stored 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.)

The mainspring of the watch employs a slipping mechanism to prevent the mainspring from over-winding. * The orientation of "the power reserve indicator" may slightly vary depending on the model. 17 English
