The watch is a manual mechanical watch. If this watch should ever need any repair, please be aware that repairs will not be cheap as parts are usually no longer available for watches this old. You should have the watch serviced every 3-5 years, and if the watch is working, this should cost the same as servicing a new watch.
When you adjust the time of your watch, move the hands in a clockwise direction only. You risk damaging the movement if done counterclockwise. Only small adjustments counterclockwise (a few minutes) are acceptable.
This watch is an old vintage watch and should be handled with care. Do not drop or bang the watch into door sills, walls, etc. The moving part inside the watch may break if you are not careful.
Keep the watch away from magnets. If you suspect your watch is magnetized, please take it to a watchmaker to have it demagnetized (or get a cheap demagnetizer on Amazon).
The watch may gain or lose as much as 2-3 minutes per day. This is normal for a watch like this. Do not adjust the movement rate inside the watch. If you need to adjust the rate, please take it to a watchmaker.
