When worn regularly (approximately 8-12 hours a day), it will maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it will stop and require manual winding as described in the "Setup" section.

Función GMT

The GMT function allows you to track a second time zone using the dedicated 24-hour hand. This hand completes one rotation every 24 hours and points to a 24-hour scale on the dial. To set the GMT hand, refer to the "Setting the Time and Date" section.

Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and, if applicable, screwed down before any contact with water.
