3. Initial Setup and Winding
3.1. Initial Winding
As an automatic mechanical watch, it requires initial winding if it has stopped. To wind the watch:
- Ensure the crown is in its fully pushed-in position (Position 0).
- Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
- The watch will then self-wind with your arm's motion during wear. If worn daily for 8-10 hours, manual winding should not be necessary.
3.2. Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted to fit your wrist. A tool is provided for this purpose.
- Use the provided tool to remove or add links as needed.
- Ensure the clasp closes securely after adjustment.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to Position 1 (the outermost position).
- Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired time is set.
- Push the crown back into Position 0 to start the watch.
4.2. Setting the Calendar Functions
The watch features year, month, week, day, and moon phase displays. Refer to the "Watch Components" section for button locations.
- Adjusting Month: Use the top right pusher (Adjust month button).
- Adjusting Date: Use the bottom right pusher (Adjust date button).
- Adjusting Year: Use the top left concealed button.
- Adjusting Week: Use the bottom left concealed button.
- Moon Phase: The moon phase typically advances automatically with the date.
Important: Avoid adjusting the date or month between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
