This watch is a mechanical watch that runs by a mainspring.
Before using the watch, turn the crown by hand about 20 times to wind up the
mainspring of the watch.
While the loss / gain of a quartz watch is shown by the monthly or yearly rate, the
loss / gain of a mechanical watch is shown by the daily rate (loss/gain per one day).
The loss / gain of a mechanical watch changes delicately day by day, depending on
various environment or conditions in which the watch is used (such as tempera-
tures, the amount of time the watch has been worn, the amount of arm movement,
and the amount that the mainspring is wound up).
A mechanical watch may lose / gain time temporarily when it is affected by strong
magnetism. If the parts of the watch become magnetized, the watch needs repair
including demagnetizing. In this case, consult the retailer from whom the watch
was purchased.

For a wind-up watch (the procedure below is the same when you wind up
a self-winding watch by hand)
Do not pull out the crown.
(In the case of a screw lock type crown, release the lock.)
Slowly turn the crown clockwise to wind the
mainspring.
When the mainspring approaches full-winding,
turning of the crown is heavy more or less,
however, this is caused by reaction force of the
wound mainspring, which is not defective.
It is structured so that the crown can be further turned in the full-winding
state. Although it is not necessary to worry about cutting the mainspring,
refrain from excessive turning. (4S, 6S, 4L and 8L series)
Note : In case of 68 series watches that have thin movement, it becomes
harder to turn the crown when the mainspring is fully wound up. Be
careful not to keep turning the crown forcibly. Otherwise the
mainspring may be cut.
Wind up the mainspring fully every day at a fixed time to keep the watch
moving accurately.
8786
Self-winding watch (with manual winding mechanism)
The mainspring can be sufficiently wound automatically by natural movement
of the arm while normally worn on the wrist. In addition, it can be wound by
turning the crown.
A stopped watch can be started by arm movement when it is worn on the wrist,
however, before wearing the watch, wind the mainspring sufficiently and
adjust the time and date.
It is recommended that you wear the watch on your wrist more than 10 hours a
day to keep the mainspring wound up. If the mainspring is not wound up
sufficiently, the watch may lose or gain time. When the mainspring is not
wound up sufficiently, wind it up fully by turning the crown by hand every
day at a fixed time.
8988
Make sure that the watch is operating.
Pull out the crown.
Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the time.
Turn the crown clockwise, not counterclockwise, to set the time accurately.
Push the crown back in to its normal position in accordance with a time signal.
Models without a second hand (6870 6890 6899)

This caliber is equipped with a "time zone adjustment mechanism." By using
the 2 o'clock position crown, the hour hand can be independently adjusted in
one-hour increments.
This eliminates the trouble of stopping the watch to adjust the time when you
travel abroad. In addition, by using the 24-hour hand (GMT hand) at the center
of the watch, the watch can be used as a dual time watch that shows home time
and local time.
While the date can be adjusted by turning the hour hand for the "time zone
adjustment mechanism", the date and day can be also adjusted independently
by using the 3 o'clock position
crown.
Check that the 3 o'clock
position crown is at its
normal position. Then pull
out the 2 o'clock position
crown to the first click.
Turn the 2 o'clock position
crown to set the time of
your destination.
On completing the adjust-
ment of the 24-hour hand,
push the 2 o'clock position
crown bak to its normal
position.
