Turn the crown clockwise about 15-20 times if the watch has stopped. This will give it some initial power.
How often does the watch need servicing?
Generally, automatic watches should be serviced every 3-5 years, depending on use and conditions.
Is the watch waterproof?
It is water-resistant to 30m, which means it can withstand splashes but should not be submerged in water.
How do I set the date and day?
Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date, and the second to set the time.
What if the watch gains or loses time?
Minor variations are normal. If the deviation is significant, have the watch checked by a watchmaker.
What is the power reserve?

Can I wear the watch while swimming?

Manually wind the watch. If it still doesn't run, it may require servicing. Also, ensure the watch is worn regularly.

Check if the watch has been magnetized. Reset the time, and monitor it for accuracy over a few days. If the issue persists, the watch may need to be serviced.
