D) WINDING
THE MAINSPRING
THIS WATCH IS AN AUTOMATIC
WATCH EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL
WINDING MECHANISM.
1. Unscrew the crown by
turning it anti-clockwise.
2. When it is in position [1],
turn the crown clockwise
to wind. Wind 5-10 times
and it will start to move
naturally after shaking
slightly.
3. Push the crown in then
screw it securely.

This watch MUST be worn for at
least 8 (Eight) hours each day to
ensure it is fully wound.
An automatic watch will only wind
when the watch is on your wrist and
your arm moves.
Winding the watch by the crown will
put power on the spring but not
enough to allow the watch to
function fully.
If your watch stops overnight or loses
time it means it is not being fully
wound.
NOTE:
1. If your watch is running smoothly, please
do not wind the crown to avoid
overwinding the movement. Provided you
are wearing the watch frequently, your
watch should have sufficient power to
operate without any fuss.
2. If your watch has stopped running after a
period of not wearing the watch, gently
move the watch side to side 20 to 30
times to move the rotor or gently turn the
crown 5 to 10 times to get the second
hand run at its normal speed.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Each SCHILD timepiece is designed
and manufactured to exceed the highest
of standards. In order to ensure optimal
performance and longevity from your
timepiece, please review the simple
guidelines for care and maintenance of
your new SCHILD timepiece.
Your timepiece should be cleaned with a
soft cloth and water only. Do not
submerge your timepiece. Your
timepiece should be rinsed clean and
dried with a soft cloth after any
saltwater use.
We advise having your timepiece
serviced every 3 or 4 years to ensure
long use and trouble free operation.
While your SCHILD timepiece has been
designed and built to exacting
specification, it is important to avoid the
following conditions: extreme heat or
cold, as well as prolonged periods of
exposure to direct sunlight, exposure to
wet conditions that exceed your
timepiece’s water rating (see case back).

15
Never operate any of the function
buttons or crown when timepiece is in
contact with water.
Avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields
or sources of static electricity as these
may interrupt the mechanisms inside
the watch. It is also important to avoid
extreme shock or impact.

16
WATER RESISTANCE
The water resistance indicated on your
timepiece serves only as a guide.
Actual water resistance may vary
depending on a number of important
factors including temperature, water
salinity, and actual use under water.
The water resistance of your timepiece
may eventually be compromised over
time with general wear and tear and the
use of your watch under adverse
conditions.
Note that you should NEVER wear your
watch in a jacuzzi, hot shower or steam
room where steam may enter the case
despite the watertight seals used to
protect your watch.
The steam may cause condensation
inside your watch, which may affect
and damage the inner workings of
your watch – which would also not be
covered by the warranty.
