Before wearing your watch for the first time, or if it has stopped, it needs to be wound. This watch supports both automatic (self-winding) and manual (hand-winding) winding.
Tkebbib manwali
- Ensure the crown is in the normal (pushed-in) position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide sufficient power to start the watch and allow the automatic winding mechanism to take over with wrist movement.
The watch will begin to operate after manual winding. For optimal performance, wear the watch regularly.
Setting the Time, Date, and Day
- Iġbed il-kuruna 'l barra sal-pożizzjoni tat-tieni klikk. The second hand will stop, allowing for precise time setting.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. When setting the time, ensure the Sun & Moon indicator correctly reflects AM or PM. Advance the hands past 12 o'clock to see if the date changes; if it does, it's midnight.
- Imbotta l-kuruna lura għall-ewwel pożizzjoni ta' klikk.
- Dawwar il-kuruna lejn l-arloġġ biex tissettja d-data.
- Rotate the crown counter-clockwise to set the day of the week.
- Once all settings are correct, push the crown back to the normal (pushed-in) position.
Nota Importanti: Avoid setting the date and day between 9:00 PM and 4:00 AM, as this can damage the movement. If you need to adjust the date/day during this period, first set the time outside this window (e.g., to 6:00 AM), adjust the date/day, and then reset the time to the current time.
It-tħaddim tal-Għassa
Your Orient Sun & Moon watch is designed for daily wear and features several complications:
Automatic Winding
The watch is equipped with an automatic movement that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. Wearing the watch for approximately 8-10 hours a day should keep it fully wound. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop, requiring manual winding as described in the "Setup and Initial Winding" section.
Sun & Moon Indicator
The Sun & Moon indicator at the 6 o'clock position displays a visual representation of day and night. The sun symbol appears during daylight hours, and the moon and stars appear during nighttime hours. This indicator operates in conjunction with the 24-hour cycle of the watch.
Indikatur tal-Jum tal-Ġimgħa
The sub-dial at the 10 o'clock position indicates the current day of the week (Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat). This changes automatically as the watch progresses through each 24-hour cycle.
Wiri tad-Data
The date window at the 3 o'clock position displays the current date. This also advances automatically at midnight.

While your watch may have some water resistance, it is generally recommended to avoid direct contact with water, especially hot water or steam, unless specifically rated for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain any water resistance. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet.

Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the metal bracelet, a soft brush and mild soapy water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones, airport security scanners) as these can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.

Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as this can impact the lubricants and components of the movement.
Servizz
For optimal performance, it is recommended to have your mechanical watch serviced by a qualified watchmaker every 3-5 years. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement.
