3.2 אויפציִען די זייגער

As an automatic watch, the KM-425 is primarily powered by the motion of your wrist. However, if the watch has stopped or for initial setup, it can be manually wound. To do so, ensure the crown (located on the side of the watch case) is in its fully pushed-in position (Position 0). Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times until the power reserve indicator shows a sufficient charge. Avoid over-winding.

3.3 באַשטעטיקן די צייט

1. Gently pull the crown out to Position 2 (the outermost position).
2. דריי די קרוין אין יעדער ריכטונג צו באַוועגן די שעה און מינוט צייגערס צו דער ריכטיקער צייט.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into Position 0 (fully pushed-in) to engage the movement.

3.4 באַשטעטיקן דעם טאָג

1. Gently pull the crown out to Position 1 (the middle position).
2. Rotate the crown (typically counter-clockwise, but may vary) to adjust the date display at the ten o'clock position.
3. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism and potentially damage the movement. If the current time falls within this window, first set the time outside this period, then adjust the date, and finally reset the correct time.
4. Once the date is set, push the crown back into Position 0.

4.1 Automatic Movement (TY 2505)

The Kienzle KM-425 is equipped with a TY 2505 automatic mechanical movement. This movement is self-winding, meaning it gains power from the natural motion of your wrist while wearing the watch. When fully wound, the watch has a power reserve that allows it to run for a certain period (typically 36-40 hours) even when not being worn. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it will stop and require manual winding or wearing to restart.

4.2 מאַכט רעזערוו אינדיקאַטאָר

The sub-dial at the two o'clock position indicates the remaining power reserve of the watch. This gauge shows how much energy is stored in the mainspring, allowing you to monitor when the watch might need winding or more active wear.

4.3 קאַלענדאַר אַרויסווייַזונג

The calendar window at the ten o'clock position displays the current date. This feature automatically advances once every 24 hours. For manual adjustment, refer to Section 3.4.

4.4 Flying Wheel

The 'flying wheel' at the six o'clock position is an open-heart design element that provides a glimpse into the watch's intricate mechanical movement, specifically the balance wheel, which is crucial for timekeeping accuracy.

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the watch comes into contact with saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

5.2 Water Resistance (5 ATM / 50 Meters)

Your Kienzle KM-425 watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters).
