Characteristics of Mechanical watches

About time accuracy of mechanical watches

The time accuracy described on this instruction manual is the static accuracy

at normal temperature. The accuracy of mechanical watches may get out of the

described range depending on the following three usage conditions or other

reasons.

• Winding amount of the mainspring

• Attitude

• Usage environment (temperature, magnetism, impact, etc.)

Winding amount of the mainspring

Mechanical watches keep accuracy most stably when the mainspring is sufficiently

wound.

Attitude

Accuracy of mechanical watches varies affected by gravity. The accuracy varies

as the result that may take various attitude while worn and gravitate to a different

direction every moment.

Characteristics of Mechanical watches

Usage environment (temperature, magnetism, impact, etc.)

• Metal parts are used for the part for keeping accuracy in mechanical watch. The

accuracy varies affected by their thermal expansion and contraction.

• Metal parts are used in mechanical watches. Magnetism affects them and

accuracy of the watches in consequence. Do not bring them close to things which

have or generate strong magnetism.

• Strong shocks may also affect the accuracy.

Maintenance

Mechanical watches may become inaccurate due to insufficient lubrication or worn

parts. Have the watch disassembled and cleaned (overhaul) every 2-3 years (charge

basis). It may be difficult to restore the watch from degradation after long-term use

to its initial performance even after repairs.

Characteristics of Mechanical watches

Requests and cautions regarding this watch

• Make sure to adequately wind the mainspring before setting the time (hour and

minute hands).

• If the time is set without the mainspring being adequately wound, the second

hand will oscillate back and forth 2-3 seconds.

There are two ways to wind the mainspring: winding by turning the crown to

the right by hand, and for the automatic winding watch, winding by shaking

the watch gently. The second hand may rarely oscillate back and forth if the

mainspring has been wound by shaking the watch to the side with excessive force.

However, this has no effect on the functions or performance of the watch.

8

Band adjustment

We recommend seeking the assistance of an experienced watch technician

for sizing of your watch. If adjustment is not done correctly, the bracelet may

unexpectedly become detached leading to loss of your watch or injury.

Consult an authorized service center.

Protective stickers

Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back,

band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between

the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a skin rash and/or

corrosion of the metal parts.
