●Remarks on the automatic mechanism of the mainspring
The correlation between the number of hours the watch is worn and the winding state of the mainspring is provided below for your reference. However, the winding state of the mainspring may vary depending on actual use conditions, such as the number of hours you wear the watch or the extent of your movement while wearing it. It is recommended that you observe the power reserve indicator to check the level of remaining power of your watch.
The mainspring of the watch becomes fully wound when it is worn for twelve hours for three to five consecutive days.
*In a case where you wear the watch for a short period of time each day, observe the power reserve indicator to check the level of the remaining power. If necessary, manually wind the mainspring.
