: Hi Evan - the catalogue I referred to is the 1968 version which is
: a good estimate for the date of your watch. I am not sure where
: you got the value from but I think you are a little high. Now
: for the big surprise - your watch has a hand wound mechanical
: movement (no battery). You will need to wind it up using the
: crown which is the central knob on the side of the watch. If it
: is working correctly you should be able to wind it up with a
: gentle turning of the crown. If it does not move then it
: requires the attention of a watchmaker. To change the time you
: pull out the crown and set the time. Once fully wound up the top
: pusher above the crown will start and stop the stop watch and
: the lower pusher will reset the stop watch hand. With regard to
: service let us know where in the world you are and I am sure one
: of the members will suggest a watchmaker near to where you are.
: regards Paul
