How to wind the mainspring
This watch has a manually wound spring drive.
You can wind the crown to wind the mainspring to drive the watch.
The watch has two mainsprings, a first mainspring and a second mainspring. These two
mainsprings can be simultaneously wound with one operation.
Guide for winding state of the mainspring
Manual winding : Five full rotations of the crown will provide the power to run the watch
for approximately ten hours.
Observe the power reserve indicator to check the level of the remaining power.

HOW TO USE
Power reserve indicator
The power reserve indicator lets you know the winding state of the mainspring.
Before removing the watch from your wrist, observe the power reserve indicator to check if
the watch has stored enough power to keep running until the next time you wear it. If
necessary, wind the mainspring.
(To prevent the watch from stopping, wind the mainspring to store the excess power that will
allow the watch to run for extra time.)
