Setting the time and date
• When the screw down crown is equipped on your model, loosen the screw before
operation. After operation, return the crown to the normal position and tighten it.
• When the watch stops, turn the crown to the right (clockwise) in position 0to wind

While the hands indicate between 8:00 PM and 2:00 AM:
Do not perform steps 1and 2; otherwise, the date may not change properly.
If you want to perform the steps, first turn the crown in position 2to move the hands
so they are not indicating between 8:00 PM and 2:00 AM.
1. Pull out the crown to position 1.
2. Turn the crown to the right (clockwise) to set the date to one day before the date
you want to set.
3. Pull out the crown to position 2.
4. Turn the crown to the left(counterclockwise) to set the date.
• The watch indicates morning when the date changes.
5. Turn the crown to set the time.
• To set an afternoon or evening hour, turn the hands to 12:00 first, then set the time.
6. Push in the crown to position 0.
• The date is based on a 31-day calendar. Adjust the date on the 1st day after months
which have 28/29/30 days.

Mainspring
This watch runs using the power of the mainspring.
• Once the mainspring is wound fully, it will run for about 42 hours.
• Sufficient winding ensures stable and accurate movement.
About winding the mainspring
This watch is an automatic mechanical watch. (You can also wind the mainspring
manually.)
The mainspring is wound by swinging your arm. It is recommended to wear the watch
for more than 8 hours a day.
If you do not move your arms much in your daily life, for example you spend a lot of
time sat at a desk, the mainspring may not be wound sufficiently. In such cases, wind the
mainspring manually (see page 7).

Crown
• When the watch stops, turning the crown about 40 times will wind the mainspring
fully.
• When the mainspring is wound fully, turning the crown further does not damage the
mainspring.

Mechanical watches
About accuracy
The accuracy of mechanical watches in this instruction manual is static accuracy at
normal temperatures (between +5˚C and +35˚C).
The accuracy on the specifications may not be kept depending on the following
conditions of use:
• times the mainspring is wound
• position
• usage environment (temperature, magnetism, impact, etc.)
Times the mainspring is wound
Full winding of the mainspring ensures the most stable and accurate movement of
mechanical watches.
Position
When you wear the watch on the wrist, the position of the watch changes frequently,
and the movement of the watch is influenced by changes in the direction of gravity. This
affects accuracy of mechanical watches.

English
Usage environment (temperature, magnetism, impact, etc.)
• Because mechanical watches use metal in parts for keeping accuracy, changes in
temperature, which cause metal to expand and contract, will affect the accuracy of the
watch.
• Because mechanical watches use metal parts, exposure to magnetic fields affects
their accuracy. In order to keep the watch accurate, do NOT subject it to strongly-
magnetized objects.
• Strong shocks also affect the accuracy.
Maintenance
Mechanical watches may become inaccurate due to insufficient lubrication or wear.
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.
