Did the crown engage the barrel?
This is sometimes possible in the watch, in the 160, you will note that the date mech is special, and can be adjusted back and forth.
The crown can may be in the first position, but not touching thebarrel at all. gently push it inwards..gently.
When the crown is pulled out to the first position, try to listen as you wind, to a rachet sound, as it indictes that the barrel is engaged, or else, you will simply be turning the crown without delivering energy to the barrel.
Hope this helps.

My Anniversary 160
Thanks for the tip, George. Great advice. I was actually wondering about this myself, given how much front surface area there is to the case. Fortunately, I'm pretty careful when it comes to even my less valuable timepieces. I'll be extra careful with thi...
The good news is that the top of the bezel is polished to a deep shine.
This allows you to polish off, with a mild cloth, most scratches. The brushed side of the case, you have to be careful with the cufflinks. One point of note, is that there are deep polished watches and deep polished watches...and UN is very good at execut...
Winding 160 Anniversary
Sans operating manual - I'm still waiting to receive the full packaging from UN - I haven't been very successful manually winding my 160. I was told, by my dealer, that 40 clockwise turns would be sufficient, but the watch still stops every night, usually...
