Self-winding mechanical watch
A watch equipped with an automatic winding mechanism
automatically winds itself throughout the day as you move
your wrist.
Because of this, the watchband must be correctly fitted to
the wearer's wrist. If the watchband is too loose, the watch
may not wind itself correctly. For optimal winding, wear your
watch daily.
If you have not worn your watch for more than 40 hours,
you must wind it manually by turning the crown in Position
1, clockwise, between 20 and 30 turns.
After wearing your watch for several hours, depending on
your activity level, the watch will be perfectly wound.
Once completely wound, your watch has a power reserve of :
Approx. 40 hours
