Setup
1. Initial Winding
Your OUPINKE mechanical watch is powered by an automatic self-winding movement and does not require a battery. For initial use or after a period of inactivity, it needs to be manually wound to build up its power reserve.
- Gently unscrew the crown (if it's a screw-down crown) or pull it out to the first position.
- Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. You may hear a slight clicking sound. This will initiate the movement and build a sufficient power reserve.
- Push the crown back in and screw it down securely (if applicable) to ensure water resistance.
2. Setting the Time
To set the time on your watch:
- Pull the crown out to the outermost position (usually the second click).
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position and screw it down firmly (if applicable).

Operating the Watch
Automatic Winding
Once initially wound, your watch will continue to operate as long as it is worn regularly. The automatic movement is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (typically 40-80 hours depending on the model's power reserve), it may stop and will need to be manually wound again.
Wearing the Watch
Ensure the watch band is adjusted to fit comfortably on your wrist. It should be snug enough not to slide around freely, but not so tight as to restrict circulation. A proper fit ensures the automatic winding mechanism functions optimally.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance (50M)
Your OUPINKE watch is water-resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, rain, and accidental splashes. It is NOT suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down (if applicable) before any contact with water.

Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.
Professional Servicing
For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to have your mechanical watch serviced by a qualified watchmaker every 3-5 years. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops or runs intermittently. | Insufficient power reserve. | Manually wind the watch by turning the crown 30-40 times clockwise. Wear the watch regularly to keep it wound. |
| Time is inaccurate (too fast/slow). | Magnetic interference, shock, or needs regulation. | Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields. If the issue persists, seek professional servicing for regulation. |
| Condensation under the crystal. | Water ingress due to open crown or seal damage. | Immediately take the watch to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent further damage. |
| Bracelet feels loose or too tight. | Incorrect band adjustment. | Use the provided tool to add or remove links from the tungsten steel band for a comfortable fit. Refer to the band adjustment section (if available in a separate guide) or seek professional assistance. |
