5 English The AUTOMATIC POWER GENERATOR Arm movement is the energy source which sets the oscillating weight in motion. This, in turn, causes the rotor to spin even faster than an F1 racing car engine. The result is an electric current which is produced by the coil. This is stored by the capacitor, which supplies the circuit block with power to driv[...]

15 English 2. An additional 300 to 400 swings, 400 to 500 swings in total, will reserve up to 2 days of power. 3. Another 400 to 500 swings, 800 to 1,000 swings in total, will reserve up to 4 days of power. 4. An additional 600 to 750 swings, 1,400 to 1,750 swings in total, will reserve more than 7 days of power, and fully charge the capacitor. * T[...]

16 English POWER RESERVE INDICATOR The current power reserve of the capacitor can be checked instantly by using the power reserve indicator function. 1. Press the button at the 2 o ’ clock position. The second hand moves quickly and stops. 2. The number of seconds that the second hand advances indicates the power reserve in the capacitor. (See th[...]

17 English * Full charge of the capacitor When the second hand advances 30 seconds at a press of the button, the capacitor is fully charged and the watch will keep operating for more than 3 days (Cal. 3M22) / 7 days (Cal. 5M42/5M43) .
