I just got a used (mint condition, originally bought Aug-2012) Chronospace Automatic but have a few questions:

1- I mounted it on my winder and it does not keep time after a few hours. It works fine if I wear it or wind it manually. I understand this model winds clockwise. Any suggestions?

2- The original manual included is of the Chronospace quartz, not the Automatic. I checked here and there is no available manual for the autom version. Is there a manual for this watch besides the online? My main worry is that this is not the original manual.

Besides that, what a beautiful piece!!!

Thanks!

I would imagine that there should be a manual for it, but don't know 100%. Movement is the 23 which requires 800 turns per day clockwise. When you say it doesn't keep time do you mean that it becomes inaccurate or that it stops? if it stops then make sure that it is fully wound before putting it on the winder (40 turns of the crown) because a winder only keeps a watch at the current wind, it doesn't wind a watch.

As mentioned it has the same B23 movement as the 23322 Navitimer, so I would think one of the those manuals would give most of the pertinent operational information.

Congrats on the pickup. I saw the blacksteel version of the Chronospace Auto the other day - awesome dial and overall look, just a little too large for me.

Actually the manual is online and the operation extremely simple.

My worries are that I got the wrong manual when I bought it. Does anyone that owns a Chronospace Auto actually have a manual dedicated specifically for this watch?
