Operating the Power Reserve Indicator
Press The Button
Compress the button on the case to operate the sweeping hand of the power reserve indicator. Be sure to mark your start time to get an accurate reading.
Measure the Time
The length of the sweep of the hand indicates how much power is stored. Starting at the 12 o'clock position:
12-1: 1 day reserve
12-2: 7 day reserve
12-4: 1 month reserve
12-6: 4-6 month reserve
Auto Restart
The second hand will automatically reset once the movement’s gears catch up to its position. The farther the sweep, the longer it will take for the second hand to restart.
