4. Push the crown back in and screw it down clockwise until it is secure (if applicable) to ensure water resistance.

The watch will then continue to wind itself through your daily wrist movements.

The Citizen NP1023-17L is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. This means it does not require a battery. The movement is wound by the natural motion of your arm while wearing the watch. When fully wound, the watch has a power reserve that allows it to continue running for a certain period even when not worn.
