1. Setup
Carefully remove the watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the watch face and case back.
1.1 Initial Winding
As an automatic watch, the MVMT Classic II is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, it may require an initial manual wind. Gently rotate the crown clockwise about 20-30 times while it is in the first (normal) position. This will build up a power reserve. The watch will then continue to wind itself with regular wear.
1.2 Setting the Time
To set the time, gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the second position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands. Once the correct time is set, push the crown back in fully to ensure water resistance and to start the watch.

1.3 Bracelet Adjustment
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted to fit your wrist. This typically involves removing or adding links. For precise adjustment, it is recommended to visit a professional jeweler or watch repair service. Improper adjustment can damage the bracelet or watch.
2. Operating the Watch
2.1 Automatic Movement
The MVMT Classic II features a Japanese Miyota 82SO automatic movement. This movement is self-winding, meaning it harnesses the kinetic energy from your wrist's natural motion to power the watch. Regular daily wear will keep the watch wound and running accurately.
2.2 Power Reserve
When fully wound, the watch has a power reserve that allows it to continue running for a period even when not being worn. If the watch is left unworn for an extended period and stops, simply follow the initial winding instructions in Section 1.1.

2.3 Water Resistance
The watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This rating indicates that the watch is suitable for everyday use, such as splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not designed for swimming, showering, or diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water to maintain its water resistance.
3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing with a damp cloth and drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
3.2 Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch box provides excellent protection.

3.3 Professional Servicing
Automatic movements benefit from periodic professional servicing, typically every 3-5 years, to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Consult an authorized watch service center for maintenance.

4. Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Ensure the watch has been sufficiently wound (refer to Section 1.1) and that the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch has been stationary for a long time, it may require more movement or manual winding to restart.
- Time Inaccuracy: Mechanical watches, including automatic movements, may exhibit slight variations in timekeeping. If the inaccuracy is significant or sudden, ensure the watch has a sufficient power reserve. If issues persist, professional servicing may be required.
- Condensation Under Crystal: If you notice condensation inside the watch crystal, it indicates a potential breach in the water resistance. This requires immediate attention from a professional watch repair service to prevent damage to the movement.
