If you cannot find your watch model (or movement) in this watch, you can try to determine your Anonimo winding mode. You should choose the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and minimum turns per day (TPD). Then put the watch into the watch winder and check the accuracy of the time displayed by the watch after a few days.  If you fall behind, you need to increase the number of TPDs by one level.

Anonimo Watch Time Adjustment Method

1. To unlock the protection lever: rotate the protection lever upwards and lower the disappearing crown mechanism. Overcome the click resistance of the buckle.
2. With the lever unlocked, pull the crown all the way out to the second click.
3. Turn the crown clockwise to set the time. Water resistance is not guaranteed in this position.
4. After setting the time, return the crown firmly to its original position and lock the protection lever. To be fully locked, the protection bar must be lowered.

Can I Always Wind my Watch Manually With the Crown?

It’s okay to do this once in a while, but not too often—especially if your watch has a screw-down crown.

Firstly, with crown winding, the gears and other parts of an automatic movement will wear out faster, as will the screw-in crown system, as it is not designed for frequent use. Self-winding watches should be worn for at least eight hours a day to make the most of their power reserves, so rather than letting your automatic watch's power reserve drain, invest in a simple automatic watch winder.
