Mechanical Pocket Watch Instructions

Note: Although the mechanical movements used in DESPERADO watches will run for over 30 hours on a full wind, it is best to wind daily.

Winding Instructions:
Wind by turning the crown in the clockwise direction until it feels tight. This is usually about 25-35 half turns. Once crown is too tight to turn, winding is complete. Do not over wind (continue to wind once tight) your watch, as it may damage or break the stem.

Setting Instructions:
To set the time, simply pull the crown to the setting position and rotate hands to the desired position. Push the crown back in once the hand position is achieved.

Important note:
Before closing the cover on your DESPERADO pocket watch (if equipped), be sure to depress the crown gently to allow the locking mechanism to fall into proper position. Failing to do so may result in damaging the latch mechanism. If this problem occurs, it is not covered under warranty.
