Autonomy

refers to the ability of a watch to operate independently for a certain period of time without the need for external power sources. It is a measure of the watch's self-sufficiency and indicates the duration it can function without manual winding or battery replacement.


Autonomy is typically represented through the power reserve of the watch, which indicates the duration it can operate. A watch with high autonomy provides the wearer with the convenience of an extended time display, reducing the need for frequent battery changes or daily manual winding.
