Watch adjustment

Automatic

Arcaido watches don’t need a battery to work: instead, the natural motion of the wearer provides energy to run the watch. An Arcaido watch worn regularly on the wrist every day requires no manual charging. If not worn for about 38 hours, it will stop. When the watch needs to be wound manually, gently rotate the crown clockwise for at least a dozen times.

Arcaido watches feature a screw-down crown. before you can use it, you need to unscrew it.

Turn the crown anti-clockwise until it is free from the thread.
The crown can now be used.
Once the adjustment is completed, the crown must be tightened again.
