Setup
1. Initial Winding
Your PD1639 watch features a Japanese automatic mechanical movement. Before wearing for the first time or after a period of inactivity, manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times while it is in the normal operating position (position 0, fully pushed in). This builds up the initial power reserve.
2. Setting Time and Date
- Pull the crown out to position 2: This is the outermost position. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To avoid damaging the movement, do not set the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM.
- Pull the crown out to position 1: This is the middle position. Rotate the crown clockwise to set the date.
- Push the crown back to position 0: Once the time and date are set, push the crown fully back into the watch case to engage the movement and ensure water resistance.

3. Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing or adding links. This procedure typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a qualified watchmaker or jeweler to prevent damage to the bracelet or clasp.

Operating the Watch
Automatic Movement
The PD1639 watch is powered by a high-quality Japanese automatic mechanical movement. This movement is self-winding, meaning it gains power from the motion of your wrist while wearing the watch. When fully wound, the power reserve exceeds 24 hours. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding as described in the Setup section.

Ceramic Unidirectional Rotating Bezel
The watch features a ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel can be rotated counter-clockwise to mark elapsed time, commonly used for diving or timing events. Align the bezel's zero marker with the minute hand at the start of an event, then read the elapsed time from the minute hand's position against the bezel's scale.

Water Resistance
The PD1639 watch has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (10 ATM). This makes it suitable for daily activities such as hand washing, rain exposure, and swimming. It is also suitable for snorkeling. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Avoiding Magnetic Fields
Mechanical watches can be affected by strong magnetic fields, which may cause them to run inaccurately. Keep your watch away from strong magnets found in speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones, and other electronic devices.
Regular Servicing
Like any precision instrument, your mechanical watch benefits from periodic servicing. It is recommended to have your watch inspected by a professional watchmaker every 3-5 years to ensure its movement is clean, lubricated, and functioning correctly.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: If the watch has stopped, ensure it is sufficiently wound. Manually wind the watch 30-40 times using the crown. If it still does not start, it may require professional inspection.
- Time inaccuracy: Minor variations in timekeeping are normal for mechanical watches. However, if the watch is consistently gaining or losing a significant amount of time (e.g., more than 30 seconds per day), it may be magnetized or require adjustment by a watchmaker.
- Water ingress: If you notice moisture inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watchmaker. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself, as this will void the warranty and can cause further damage.
