5. Reassembling position of Oscillating weight
When fixing the Oscillating weight, an alignment with the First reduction wheel is necessary in order to wind
the Mainspring most efficiently. Turn the First reduction wheel manually until its hole aligns with the gilt dot
on the Balance cock and set the Oscillating weight vertically at the stem side, and then tighten the screw.
Refer to the figure below.

9. How to Install hands
Place the movement on a flat metal plate or something similar.
We recommen using "Universal Movement Holder" S-682.
Be careful not to apply strong pressure to the movement.
<<Note: Power reserve hand setting>>
(1)The Mainspring should be fully wound up before installing power reserve hand.
(2)Set Power reserve hand at "F" position on the Indicator

3) Push the crown back into the normal position.
*If the crown is turned counterclockwise, the Date hand reverses.
Please reset the Date hand.
2. How to set the Date hands
1) Pull out the crown to the first click position.
2) Turn the crown counterclockwise for date setting.
* Do not set the date between 9:00 P.M. and 1:30 A.M. If you do so,
the date may not change properly or it may cause a malfunction.
3) Push the crown back into the normal position.
3. How to wind up the mainspring
a) Manual winding … Slowly turn the crown clockwise at normal position.
* If you wind by turning the ratchet wheel screw 8 times, it will start to move naturally after shaking slightly.
b) Winding up with the winding machine.
Full wind up conditions are as follows:
・Rotary speed : 30 rpm
・Operating time : 60 minutes
