I the watch is c ompletely stopped, manually turn the crown approximately 20times to wind up the mainspring to start the watch.

While loss /gain o a quartz watch is indicated by a monthly or annual rate, accuracyo a mechanical watch is normally indicated by a daily rate (loss/gain per day).

Normal usage accuracy o a mechanical watch varies according to conditions ouse (time period that the watch is worn on the wrist, temperature environment,hand movement, and winding state o the mainspring).

When the watch is a ected by strong magnetism, it temporarily gains or losestime. I the watch encounters a strong magnetic feld, the parts o the watch maybe magnetized. In this case, repairs such as removal o magnetism are required.Contact the retailer rom whom the watch was purchased.
