Xiamen NORTH EDGE, Manual

Automatic mechanical watches

Your watch must be wound manually if it has stopped or not been worn for 

several days, in order to ensure that your watch remains in continuous opera-

tion during periods of low activity (e.g. during sleep). 

In these cases, turn the crown through 30 revolutions forward in position I. 

The automatic winding system will then ensure that the movement is fully 

wound if the watch is on your wrist. It is also possible to fully wind an auto-

matic watch manually by means of the winding crown. However, please note 

that automatic movements have a slipping spring, which disengages the 

winding system (the crown can be turned infinitely) once the movement has 

been fully wound. Generally speaking, 80 revolutions of the crown are 

enough to fully wind most automatic mechanical watches.

The efficiency of the automatic winding system of a mechanical movement 

depends on the wrist movements of the person wearing the watch. Do not 

deliberately shake your automatic watch to wind it; this has no effect and 

could damage the watch.

Setting the time

Pull the crown out to position III and turn it in either direction until the desired time 

is displayed.

Rapid correction of the date

NB: Do not perform a rapid date correction between 22:00 and 02:00.

Pull the crown out to position II and turn it clockwise until the desired date is 

displayed. During this operation, your watch will keep operating, so you will not 

need to adjust the time.
