2. Het horloge opwinden
Your Orient Defender II is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, for initial startup or after a period of inactivity, manual winding is recommended:
- Zorg ervoor dat de kroon zich in de normale (ingedrukte) positie bevindt.
- Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
- The watch will continue to wind itself through normal daily wear.
3. De tijd instellen
- Pull the crown out to the second click position (farthest out). The second hand will stop (hacking feature).
- Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired time is set. Pay attention to the 24-hour sub-dial to distinguish between AM and PM.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into the normal position.
4. De datum en dag instellen
Important: Do not set the date or day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can damage the movement. If you need to set the date/day during this period, first set the time outside this window (e.g., to 6:00 AM), adjust the date/day, then reset the time to the current time.
- Trek de kroon uit tot de eerste klikpositie.
- Draai de kroon met de klok mee om de datum aan te passen.
- Rotate the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day of the week (displayed in the sub-dial).
- Zodra de datum en dag zijn ingesteld, duwt u de kroon terug in de normale positie.
5. Armbandaanpassing
The stainless steel bracelet may require adjustment to fit your wrist comfortably. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the bracelet or clasp mechanism.

When fully wound, the watch has a power reserve that allows it to run for approximately 40 hours without further motion. If the watch stops, simply wind it manually as described in the "Setup" section or wear it for a few hours to restart the movement.
