Instellen en eerste wikkeling
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.
Handmatig opwinden
- Zorg ervoor dat de kroon zich in de normale (ingedrukte) positie bevindt.
- 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
- Trek de kroon uit tot de tweede klikpositie. 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.
- Duw de kroon terug naar de eerste klikpositie.
- Draai de kroon met de klok mee om de datum in te stellen.
- 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.
Belangrijke opmerking: 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.
Het horloge bedienen
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.
Dag van de week-indicator
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.
Datumweergave
The date window at the 3 o'clock position displays the current date. This also advances automatically at midnight.

Onderhoud en verzorging
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your Orient watch.
Waterbestendigheid
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.
Schoonmaak
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.
Magnetische velden
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.
Temperatuur extremen
Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as this can impact the lubricants and components of the movement.
Dienst
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.

Probleemoplossing
If you encounter any issues with your watch, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Het horloge is gestopt: Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 30-40 times. If the watch still does not start, ensure it is being worn regularly enough for the automatic winding mechanism to function.
- Onjuiste tijd/datum/dag: Refer to the "Setting the Time, Date, and Day" section for proper adjustment procedures. Ensure you avoid setting the date/day between 9:00 PM and 4:00 AM.
- Kijk of het snel of langzaam loopt: Mechanical watches have a specified accuracy range (+25 seconds to -15 seconds per day for this model). Minor deviations are normal. If the deviation is significantly outside this range, the watch may require adjustment by a professional watchmaker.
- Condensatie onder kristal: This indicates moisture ingress. Immediately take the watch to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent damage to the movement.
