To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:
– Wind the movement (approximately 20 revolutions of the crown).
– Pull out the crown to position 2 and turn the hands forwards to approximately
4.40 a.m. This ensures that the calendar mechanism is not in the middle of the
automatic switching phase and means you can see the calendar displays easily.
– Push the crown to position 0 and pull it back to position 1.
– Slowly turn the crown to the right. The calendar now advances in steps. Set the
display to yesterday's date, keeping an eye on the month and the year.
– Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time
accurately to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand
passes 60.
– Turn the hands forwards until the date display changes to today's date. The hands
will now be positioned between 12 midnight and 1 a.m.
– Now turn the hands forwards to the correct time. If you are setting the watch in the
afternoon, you must turn the hands past 12 (noon) again. Now move the minute
hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then position the minute hand
by moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above the correct minute stroke.
This ensures that the minute hand begins to move immediately when you restart the
movement. Push the crown back to position 0 to start the movement.
The entire calendar is now automatically set correctly. There is no need for you to
know the current phase of the moon or whether you are in a leap year. You do not even
need to set the day of the week. This simplified setting is very convenient, particularly
if you have not worn your IWC watch for a few days.
