Introduction
Thank you for choosing the OUPINKE G3177P Men's Skeleton Automatic Mechanical Watch. This timepiece combines sophisticated design with reliable mechanical movement. It features a unique starry dial with panoramic moon phase and a 3D Earth design, Roman numeral indices, and a durable sapphire crystal. The watch is powered by a Japanese automatic mechanical movement, requiring no battery, and is designed for comfort with a fine leather strap.
This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your watch to ensure its longevity and accurate performance.
Setup and Initial Winding
Your OUPINKE G3177P watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. It does not require a battery but needs to be wound to start and maintain its power reserve.
- Initial Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times while it is in the closed position (position 0). This manually winds the mainspring and builds up an initial power reserve.
- Automatic Winding: Once initially wound, the watch will continue to wind itself through the natural motion of your wrist while wearing it. For optimal performance, wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours daily.
- Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to position 2. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in to position 0 to start the watch.
- Setting the Date/Moon Phase: Pull the crown out to position 1. Rotate the crown to adjust the date and moon phase display. Be careful not to adjust the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Push the crown back in to position 0 when finished.

Operating Your Watch
The OUPINKE G3177P features a unique dial with a moon phase and 3D Earth display.
- Time Display: The central hour, minute, and second hands indicate the current time.
- Moon Phase Display: The moon phase indicator tracks the lunar cycle. This is typically adjusted manually during the setup process.
- 3D Earth Display: This feature is a decorative element that enhances the watch's aesthetic appeal, representing the Earth.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your OUPINKE watch.
- Water Resistance: This watch is rated for 50 meters (160 feet) water resistance. It is suitable for daily use, hand washing, and light rain. Do not wear it for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and sapphire crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and seals.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones) as they can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.
- Leather Strap Care: The fine layer cowhide leather strap is durable but can be affected by moisture, sweat, and direct sunlight. Clean and condition it periodically to maintain its quality.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your watch, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch has stopped or runs intermittently. | Insufficient power reserve. | Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 30-40 times. Wear the watch regularly to allow the automatic movement to recharge. |
| Watch is running too fast or too slow. | Exposure to strong magnetic fields or impact. | Keep the watch away from magnetic sources. If the issue persists, professional demagnetization or adjustment may be required. |
| Date/Moon phase does not change or is stuck. | Attempted adjustment during restricted hours (9 PM - 3 AM) or mechanical issue. | Avoid adjusting the date/moon phase during restricted hours. If stuck, try advancing the time past 3 AM and then re-adjust. If the problem continues, seek professional service. |
| Moisture inside the watch. | Crown not fully pushed in, or seals compromised. | Immediately take the watch to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent further damage. |
