To wind the watch manually, unscrew the crown by turning it counterclockwise until it pops out.
Gently turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times to fully wind the mainspring for initial power.
For automatic winding, wear the watch on your wrist for at least 8 hours; natural motion will keep it powered.
To set the time, pull the crown out to the second position and turn it to align the hands with the desired time.
After setting, push the crown back in and screw it down firmly against the case to ensure water resistance.
