Your watch is equipped with a mechanical movement. 
The movement is wound either by means of the crown 
or by the action of the oscillating weight. The oscillat-
ing  weight  winds  the  movement  when  the  watch  is 
worn on the wrist.

When your watch has stopped
Hold  the  watch  in  your  hand  and  turn  the  crown  at 
least thirty times. In this way, the barrel containing the 
mainspring is rewound.
To  ensure  that  the  automatic  winding  mechanism 
functions correctly, the watch must be worn for at least 
12 hours every day for several days. If the watch is not 
worn for long enough, it will stop.
If you do not wear your watch during the night, you can 
give the crown a few turns in the morning before put-
ting it on.

Power-reserve-indicator function
The  graduated  quadrant  with  a  scale  from  “-”  to  “+” 
displays the remaining power reserve.

Accuracy
Under  normal  conditions  of  use,  the  precision  dis-
crepancy  for  an  automatic  watch  is  a  maximum  of  4 
to 5 minutes per month in comparison to a standard 
watch. Personalized time setting can however be car-
ried  out  on  request  by  an  authorized  ZENITH  repre-
sentative.

 WINDING YOUR WATCH

Your  watch  is  equipped  with  a  mechanical  movement.  The 
movement is wound either by the crown or via the action of 
the oscillating weight when worn on the wrist.

When your watch has stopped
Note:

  For  models  equipped  with  a  screwed-in  crown, 

unscrew it to wind your watch. 

Hold the watch in your hand and turn the crown at least thirty 
times.  In  this  way,  the  barrel  containing  the  mainspring  is 
rewound. To ensure that the automatic winding mechanism 
functions  correctly,  the  watch  must  be  worn  for  at  least 
12 hours every day for several days. If the watch is not worn 
for  long  enough,  it  will  stop.  If  you  do  not  wear  your  watch 
during  the  night,  you  can  give  the  crown  a  few  turns  in  the 
morning before putting it on.
