How to Wind the Mainspring
Self-Winding and Manual Winding
The mainspring naturally winds up when you perform your daily activities with the watch worn on your wrist (self-winding).
The mainspring can also be wound by turning the crown (manual winding).
To manually wind the mainspring, slowly turn the crown clockwise in its normal position (0 click).
TIP
- If the watch has a screw-down crown, first unscrew the crown to unlock it.
After the required operations are complete, be sure to lock the crown again.
> "How to Use the Screw-Down Crown" - The crown spins freely if it is turned in the opposite direction.
If the watch stops
- Shake the watch or turn the crown to wind the mainspring and operate the watch.
- When the second hand starts to move, adjust the time and calendar.
- Continue to wear the watch on your wrist or perform manual winding to adequately wind up the mainspring.
TIP
- If the watch has stopped, it can be adequately wound up by turning the crown about 30 turns.
- The crown will still rotate when the mainspring is fully wound up. Use the scale marks on the power reserve indicator as a guide when winding.
