Explain 50 hours power reserve please


It is an Automatic watch. Not quartz, no batteries. The power reserve indicator shows how many hours you have until it stops if you don't wind it B) I know 50 hours doesn't sound much, but There is a swing (there is glass on the under side and you can see the swing. It looks awesome!) And it winds the spring constantly as you move your arm. I wear it the whole day, and I put it down only at home or before I go to sleep. So I only have to wind it once a week on Sunday, or Monday morning, since I'm not that active at the weekends. But sometimes I wear it at home too, because constant useage and movement is good for it. ^_^

It has it perks and backs :)
Con: You have to wind it once or twice a week.
Pro: You don't have to deal with battery change or leak, wich can destroy the whole mechanism.
I still will have to send it to service every 4-5 years for oiling, changing gaskets, switching worn gears if necessary. So, just like a car :lol:

Less accurate than a quartz watch of the same price tho. I measured mine a few times, it is around +6 seconds in 3 days, so it fells into the Chronometer category B)
