Braun BN0278 automatic watch
An automatic or self-winding watch is a mechanical
watch in which the mainspring is wound
automatically as a result of the natural motion of
the wearer's arm, making regular manual winding
unnecessary. The winding of the automatic
mechanism depends on the intensity of your
movements. When you receive the watch for the
first time it may not be running. This is because the
watch has no power to operate. The watch must be
given an initial manual wind with 15 to 20 turns of the
crown and then while the watch is worn it will wind
itself and maintain the correct time. When setting
the time please ensure the hands only move in a
clockwise direction to avoid damage. The accuracy
tolerance of our automatic movements is -40 to +40
seconds per day, worn under normal conditions.
Automatic watch power reserve
In order to maintain power the watch may be taken
off the wrist for a maximum period of 30 hours. If
this period is exceeded the movement will stop and
another manual wind will be necessary. It must be
remembered that if the watch is worn while sleeping
the movement of the wrist is insufficient to maintain
the automatic winding function.
Caution: Do not overwind your watch as this may
cause damage to the movement.
