Setup
1. Unpacking

2. Initial Winding
As an automatic watch, it requires initial winding if it has stopped. To wind the watch, turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times while it is in the normal operating position (position 0, pushed in). This will build up enough power reserve to start the movement.
3. Setting Time and Date
- Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to position 2 (farthest out). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set, especially when setting the date, by observing when the date changes (typically around midnight). Push the crown back to position 0 when done.
- Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to position 1 (middle position). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date, day, and month displays. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. If the current time falls within this window, first set the time outside this period, then set the date, and finally reset the correct time. Push the crown back to position 0 when done.
4. Wearing the Watch
Fasten the watch securely but comfortably on your wrist. The automatic movement is powered by the motion of your arm, so regular wear will keep the watch wound. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding to restart.

Operating the Watch
Automatic Movement
Your Ingersoll IN6907RBK watch is equipped with an automatic self-winding mechanical movement. This means it does not require a battery. The mainspring is wound by the natural motion of your wrist. When fully wound, the watch typically has a power reserve of approximately 36-40 hours. If the watch is not worn for a day or two, it will stop and need to be manually wound or worn again to restart.
Day, Date, and Month Display
The watch features subdials or windows that display the current day of the week, date of the month, and the current month. These complications are typically adjusted via the crown in position 1, as described in the 'Setting Time and Date' section. Ensure these are set correctly after any period of non-use or if the watch has stopped.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth regularly.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then dry thoroughly.
Water Resistance
The watch is water resistant to 30 meters (99 feet). This rating means it can withstand splashes of water and rain. It is not suitable for showering, swimming, diving, or any activities involving submersion in water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.
Storage
When not wearing the watch for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for this purpose.
Regular Servicing
Like all mechanical timepieces, your Ingersoll watch benefits from periodic professional servicing to ensure its accuracy and longevity. It is recommended to have the watch serviced by an authorized watchmaker every 3-5 years.
Troubleshooting
Watch Not Running
- Cause: Insufficient power reserve.
- Solution: Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 20-30 times, then wear it regularly.
Time Inaccuracy
- Cause: Low power reserve, exposure to strong magnetic fields, or need for servicing.
- Solution: Ensure the watch is fully wound. Keep it away from magnets (e.g., speakers, refrigerators). If the issue persists, professional servicing may be required.
Date/Day Not Changing
- Cause: Incorrect time setting (AM/PM), or attempting to set during the forbidden period (9 PM - 3 AM).
- Solution: Re-set the time, ensuring AM/PM is correct. If setting the date, avoid the forbidden period.
