3.2 Enrotllament inicial

As an automatic watch, it is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, for initial use or after a period of inactivity, manual winding is recommended to build up the power reserve. To manually wind the watch:

2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. You will feel a slight resistance as the mainspring winds. Do not overwind.

This initial winding will provide enough power for the watch to start running and for the automatic winding mechanism to take over with regular wear.

1. Gently pull the crown out to position 2. The watch hands will stop.
2. Gireu la corona en sentit horari o antihorari per moure les agulles a l'hora desitjada.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (fully pushed in) to restart the watch and ensure water resistance.
