Setup and Initial Use

1. Unboxing and Inspection

Carefully remove the watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage or defects. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.

2. Initial Winding

As an automatic watch, it is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, for initial use or after a period of inactivity, it is recommended to manually wind the watch. To do this, gently unscrew the crown (if it's a screw-down crown) and then turn it clockwise approximately 30-40 times until you feel slight resistance. This will build up a power reserve.

3. Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to the furthest position (Position 3).
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Pay attention to the AM/PM indication if your watch has a 24-hour subdial or moon phase that changes with AM/PM.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into Position 1 (normal operating position) and screw it down if applicable.

4. Setting the Date and Day

Your OUPINKE 3189 watch features a date and day display. To set these:

1. Pull the crown out to the middle position (Position 2).
2. Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date.
3. Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day of the week.
4. Important: Avoid setting the date or day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanism is engaged in changing the date, and manual adjustment can cause damage. If you need to set the date within this period, first set the time outside this window (e.g., to 6:00 AM), adjust the date/day, then reset the time to the current time.
5. Once set, push the crown back into Position 1 and screw it down if applicable.

5. Setting the Moon Phase

The moon phase display typically advances with the date. It may be adjusted via a small recessed pusher on the side of the case, or by repeatedly advancing the date. Refer to the specific instructions on your watch's included card if a dedicated pusher is present. Otherwise, it will synchronize with the date setting.

6. Adjusting the Leather Strap

The leather strap is designed for comfort and durability. Adjust the buckle to find a comfortable fit on your wrist. Ensure it is snug enough to allow the automatic movement to function effectively but not so tight as to restrict circulation.

Operating Your Watch

Automatic Movement

Your OUPINKE watch is equipped with a self-winding mechanical movement. This means it does not require a battery. The watch is powered by the natural motion of your arm. When worn regularly (approximately 8-10 hours a day), the rotor inside the watch winds the mainspring, providing continuous power. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it will stop. Simply re-wind it manually as described in the "Initial Winding" section or wear it for a few hours to restart it.

Moon Phase Display

The moon phase subdial displays the current phase of the moon. This complication is designed to track the lunar cycle, adding a unique aesthetic and functional element to your watch. It typically completes one full cycle every 29.5 days.

Luminous Features

The hands and hour markers of your OUPINKE watch are treated with Swiss Luminous Powder. This material absorbs light during the day and emits a glow in low-light conditions, allowing for readability in the dark. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the amount of light exposure.

Water Resistance (50M)

Your watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) of water resistance. This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water immersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down (if applicable) before any contact with water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Avoiding Extreme Conditions

• Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement's accuracy and the integrity of seals.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, MRI machines), as magnetism can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements. If your watch becomes magnetized, it may run fast or slow and will require demagnetization by a professional.
• Shocks: While designed to be robust, avoid severe impacts or drops, which can damage the delicate internal components.
• Chemicals: Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetic products, as they can damage the case, strap, or seals.

Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch box to protect it from dust and scratches. If storing for an extended period, consider using a watch winder to keep the automatic movement running and lubricated.

Service and Professional Maintenance

Mechanical watches benefit from periodic professional servicing, typically every 3-5 years. This involves cleaning, lubricating, and regulating the movement, as well as checking and replacing seals to maintain water resistance. Contact an authorized OUPINKE service center or a reputable watchmaker for such services.
