• How do I manually wind my Movado automatic watch?

  If the watch has not been worn for 38-62 hours and has stopped, ensure the crown is in position 1 (unscrew if necessary) and turn it clockwise approximately 20-30 revolutions before setting the time.

• How do I change the date on my Movado watch?

  Unlock the screw-down crown if applicable, pull the crown out to position 2, and rotate it counterclockwise until the correct date appears. Avoid changing the date between 9:30 PM and 3:00 AM to prevent damaging the calendar mechanism.

• How do I unlock a Movado screw-down crown?

  Turn the crown counterclockwise approximately six rotations to unlock it before setting the time or date. Always push and screw the crown back completely down into the case after setting to maintain water resistance.

• Do Movado automatic watches require batteries?

  No, Movado automatic watches do not contain batteries. They are completely charged by the motion of your wrist during normal daily activities.
