3. Ukusetha kanye Nokusebenza Kokuqala
3.1 Ukugoqa Iwashi
Your Orient automatic watch is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, for initial setup or if the watch has stopped, it can be hand-wound:
- Ensure the crown is fully screwed in (position 0).
- Khulula umqhele ngokuwuphendula ngokuphambene newashi kuze kube yilapho uphuma endaweni engu-1.
- Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times to provide an initial power reserve.
- Phindezela umqhele ngaphakathi bese uwusonga nge-screw ngokwewashi ukuqinisekisa ukumelana namanzi.
Regular wear will keep the watch wound. If worn daily for 8-10 hours, hand-winding may not be necessary.
3.2 Setting the Time and Date/Day
To set the time, date, and day:
- Khumula Umqhele: Turn the crown counter-clockwise until it springs out to position 1.
- Setha Usuku Nosuku: Donsela umqhele ukuze ubeke endaweni 2 (chofoza kuqala).
- Guqula umqhele ngokwewashi ukuze ulungise idethi.
- Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day.
- Avoid setting the date/day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can damage the movement. If the current time falls within this period, first advance the time past 3:00 AM, then set the date/day.
- Setha Isikhathi: Pull the crown out to position 3 (second click). The second hand will stop.
- Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands. Advance the hands past 12 o'clock to determine if it's AM or PM (the date/day will change at midnight).
- Set the time accurately.
- Vikela Umqhele: Push the crown back into position 1, then screw it down clockwise firmly against the case to ensure water resistance.

4.2 Using the Unidirectional Rotating Bezel
The 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel is a key feature for divers and can be used for timing events up to 60 minutes.

- The minute hand will then indicate the elapsed time on the bezel scale.
- The bezel rotates only counter-clockwise to prevent accidental increases in timed duration, which is a safety feature for diving.
