Water Resistance Reminder

All Watchbrick timepieces are rated at 3ATM, suitable for light daily use only — such as hand-washing or light rain.
Do not wear the watch while showering, swimming, or submerging in water.This is especially important for models with the VK63 quartz chronograph, as they contain a battery-powered module that may be affected by moisture.

Crown Instruction

This watch features a screw-down crown.
Before setting the time or date, please turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it until it pops out. After adjustment, push the crown back in and screw it clockwise to secure the water resistance.

Before You Start: Wind Your Automatic Watch

All automatic movements (including NH34, NH35, NH36, Miyota 8285) require manual winding before first use, or after sitting idle for an extended period.

To wind your watch:

  • Make sure the crown is in the pushed-in position (Position 0).
  • Turn the crown clockwise (away from you) minimum 55 times to build up power in the mainspring.
  • You should see the second hand begin to sweep smoothly.

🧭 Final Tips for All Movements

  • Always pull/push the crown gently—avoid applying side force.

  • If your watch is stopped, wind it fully before wearing to ensure smooth operation.

  • For automatic watches (NH34/35/38/72), regular wear keeps the movement powered.

  • Keep watches away from magnets and large temperature swings to preserve accuracy.
