English

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).

English

Winding the mainspring manually

Turn the crown to the right (clockwise) in position 0.

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.
