WARNINGS / NOTIFICATIONS FOR CHARGING

RECHARGE WARNING FUNCTION: Second hand moves at 2 second intervals. The second hand changes to a 2 second interval movement to indicate insufficient recharging. After exposing the watch to light, recharging takes place and the watch returns to 1 second interval movement.

TIME SETTING NOTIFICATION: Second hand moves irregularly / 1 sec - 1 sec - 2 sec. The second hand moves irregularly (1 sec - 1 sec - 2 sec) to indicate that the time setting was not carried out after the watch stopped (due to insufficient charge). It will continue to do so until the time is set. It is advised to set the time after each sufficient charge.

A solar cell under the dial collects light and converts it to ‘electrical energy’. The energy is stored in a secondary battery, eliminating the need for battery replacement.

Expected running time from full charge to stoppage is around 6 months. When the charge has been depleted, the movement of the second-hand skips to two second intervals. Charging the watch in light will cause the second hand to return to one second intervals. If the second hand stops moving, simply place the watch in daylight until it recharges and begins keeping time again.

MANUALLY WINDING THE WATCH

Instead of a battery, this watch contains an automatic winding movement that generates power through the movement of your wrist. It will run normally with regular wear, but not wearing the watch for several consecutive days could exhaust the power reserve.

In the event that the watch stops completely, leave the crown in its normal 1 position and rotate clockwise until you feel resistance. The watch will resume time keeping.

SETTING THE TIME

1. Ensure that the watch is running, or wind it using the instructions above. Pull the crown out to the 2 position and rotate clockwise or counterclockwise (depending on model) to set desired time.
2. Push the crown back to its normal 1 position and the time is now set.

A timepiece with an automatic winding movement obtains the power to wind itself from the movement of your wrist; there is no battery. Therefore, not wearing the timepiece for several consecutive days could exhaust the power reserve (in which case the watch will stop keeping time, this is normal when the watch is unused for several days). To restart the time keeping, simply wind the crown or wear the watch for some time until the seconds hand begins moving again.
