EN 9 1 How to wind the mainspring HOW TO USE • This is an automatic mechanical watch with a manual winding mechanism. • When the watch is worn on the wrist, the mainspring is wound automatically through normal wrist movement. The watch can also be wound up by turning the crown. • To start the watch after it stops completely, wind it up either by turning the crown or swinging it from side to side until the seconds hand starts moving. Then, set the time and date before putting the watch on the wrist. To wind up the watch, turn the crown clockwise slowly. The watch cannot be wound by turning the crown counterclockwise. In this way, the watch can be wound up fully. Furthermore, turning the crown further will not break the spring. * For the watch with screw down crown, please unlock the crown before operating it and be sure to lock the crown after operating it. Crown 1 HOW TO USE There are two types of crowns, a normal crown and a screw down crown. Please check the type of the crown of your watch. While pressing the crown in, turn it in the direction indicated by the arrow. The crown turns. Normal crown Pull out the crown and operate it. Screw down crown The crown does not turn. Unlock the crown before operating it. Unscrew After operating the crown, lock it. Rotate while pressing the crown in. * By locking the crown by screw, a screw down crown can prevent malfunction and increase water resistance. * Be careful not to screw the crown in by force as it may damage the slots of the crown. EN 10 * If the watch is used without being wound up fully, gain or loss of time may result. To avoid this, wear the watch for more than 10 hours a day. If the watch is used without being worn on the wrist, be sure to wind it up fully every day 1 at a fixed time. HOW TO USE * If you use a watch that has stopped with the mainspring unwound, winding the mainspring with the crown will not start the watch immediately. That is because the mainspring torque or force is low at the beginning of its winding due to the characteristics of mechanical watches. The seconds hand will start to move when a certain degree of torque is reached after the mainspring has been wound up. However, swinging the watch from side to side to forcibly turn the balance can start the watch sooner. EN 11 EN 12
