FAQs
Does this watch require a battery?
No, this is an automatic mechanical watch powered by the movement of your wrist.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
No, the watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters, which is sufficient for light rain and hand washing, but not for swimming or showering.
How long will the watch run if I take it off?
Most Orient automatic movements have a power reserve of approximately 40 hours when fully wound.
Is the 41mm size too big for small wrists?
41mm is considered a standard modern size that sits well on most wrists, though personal preference for 'heft' varies.
How do I clean the blue dial?
The dial is sealed inside the case, so you only need to clean the exterior crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Troubleshooting
The watch stopped running.
The watch likely exhausted its power reserve. Gently shake the watch for 30 seconds or manually wind the crown to restart the movement.
The date is incorrect.
Pull the crown to the first click and rotate it to advance the date until it shows the current day.
The watch is losing time.
Ensure you are wearing the watch consistently for at least 8 hours a day. If issues persist, the watch may require regulation by a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time, pull the crown out to the second click and rotate it to the desired position; if your model includes a date complication, pull the crown to the first click to adjust it. When the watch has been stationary for an extended period, give the crown a few manual winds or gently shake the watch to jumpstart the rotor. For care, wipe the casing and crystal periodically with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and skin oils. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme magnetic fields, such as those near industrial speakers or medical equipment, as this can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement. If you notice the watch consistently losing or gaining time, consult a professional watchmaker for regulation.
