Movement: Caliber 4302, self-winding movement

Ticking speed: 28800 vph

Power reserve: 70 hours

Above is the specification for 15500.

To have 70 hours power reserve, it has to be fully wound, but I am not quite sure how many turn to make a full wind.

You need about 80-100 turns to fully wind from dead.

I also find that on normal wear, I never get the full 70 hours after I take it off, usually dies in about 2 days. I do have a desk job so unless your very active, you most likely won't fully wind by just wearing it.

I did test full manual wind and mine lasted about 72 hours.

You must fully wind the watch then run around most of the day to get the full 70 hours
