MECHANICAL: MANUAL WIND WATCHES

NOTE: Your watch will have either a “pull-out” or “screw-down” crown. To determine this, gently try to pull out the crown to position

(2). If it does so, your watch has a pull-out crown. If not, use the thumb and forefinger to apply mild pressure on the crown while rotating toward you to release it. If it does so, your watch has a screw-down crown.

The crown has three positions:

1.Normal position – recessed.

2.Extended position – to set the date.

3.Fully extended position – to set the time.

Note: If your watch does NOT have a date calendar the crown will only have 2 positions (1 & 3 from above).

Manual Winding

Leaving the crown in position (1), wind the watch by turning the crown away from you until fully wound (approximately 20-30 times).

Do not over wind.

NOTE: This operation should be consistently done at the same time every day (for example, every morning or every evening).
