The power reserve indicator shows the amount the
watch is wound as an amount of time, so you can see
how long the watch will run at a glance. The power
reserve hand indicates the remaining amount. The time
pointed to by the power reserve hand is the remaining
amount of time.
■POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
■NOTES ON OPERATING THE WATCH
TIME/CALENDAR SETTING
●Do not set the date between 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.
Otherwise, it may not change properly.
*If it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first
change the time to any time outside it, set the date and then
reset the correct time.
●When setting Hour hand, check that AM/PM is
correctly set.
*The watch is so designed that the date changes once in 24
hours. Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to
determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or P.M.
period. If the date changes, the time is set for the A.M.
period. If the date does not change, the time is set for the
P.M. period.
●When setting Minute hand, be sure to turn back the
hands a little behind the desired time and then
advance them to the exact time.
●It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of
February and 30-day months.
AUTOMATIC WINDING
●This is an automatic winding mechanical watch and
cannot be wound manually.
●This watch will run approximately 40 hours after it
is fully wound. If it is not wound enough, the watch
may lose time. In order to maintain the watch’s
accuracy, we recommend wearing the watch at least
8 hours a day.
POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
●The remaining time shown is only an approximation.
The time shown may be different from actual
remaining time.
This product has an automatic-winding system which
comes with a power reserve indicator function. The
mainspring will be automatically wound by your
natural arm movements while you wear it on your
wrist. The power reserve hand is pointing to the
fully-wound position (40H). The amount the watch
is wound will change with the frequency of your arm
movements and the amount of time you wear the
watch, so the hand will not always point to the fully-
wound position. If you remove the watch from your
arm and do not wind manually, the power reserve
hand will move toward zero as time passes.
■SPECIFICATIONS
●Vibration : 21,600 Oscillations / 1hr
●Loss/Gain : Within +25 and –15 Second
(Daily Rate)*
●Jewels : 23 Jewels
* The mechanism of mechanical watches is very precise and
delicate. Time accuracy may change depending of which
direction the watch faces. Therefore, any actual loss/gain
may not fall within the range of time accuracy specified
above, and depends on the condition of use, such as the
length of time during which the watch is worn on the wrist,
temperature, affection of strong magnetism, vibration like
motorcycles or chain saws, life style (whether much arm
movement is involved or not), whether the watch is wound
up fully or not, etc.
