Watch Adjustment

Automatic Winding

Arcaido watches work without a battery. They receive the energy they need through the automatic winding mechanism of the movement. An Arcaido watch worn regularly on the wrist every day does not require manual winding. If it is not worn for approximately 38 hours, it will stop. When the watch needs to be wound, gently turn the crown clockwise at least a dozen times.

Crown Position

Arcaido watches are equipped with a screw-down crown. Before using its functions, the crown must be unscrewed. Turn the crown counterclockwise until it is no longer engaged with the thread. The crown can now be used. Once the adjustment is complete, the crown must be screwed back in securely.

Screw-Down Crown

The positions described below apply to most watches.

Warning: the watch is water-resistant only when the crown is correctly screwed down.

POS. 0 Normal winding position

POS. 1 Date and time zone adjustment

  4. Screw the crown back down in position 0.

Warning: the date must not be changed between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as the mechanism has already started the date-change process. Improper use may cause visible damage to the components.
