Setting instructions
Winding, time setting and correction:
The winding and time-setting crown (I) can be placed in three
positions A, B and C.
A: Pushed down against the case, winding position.
This is the normal position when the watch is being worn and
guarantees the best water-resistance.
If the watch has not been worn for some time, wind it by rotating the
crown (I) through several turns.
It is unnecessary to fully wind a watch that is going to be worn.
The crown (I) is not locked at the end of the winding cycle; the
mechanism therefore cannot be damaged.
B: Position for correcting the date (calendar) and day of the week.
It is preferable to correct the days of the week (3) first, then the
date (4).
Pull out the winding crown (I) to position B then turn it anticlockwise
to correct the days of the week (3) and clockwise to correct the
date (4).
Correction of the days of the week (3) should not be carried out
between 9pm and midnight, otherwise no change of day (3) will
take place over the ensuing 24 hours. There is no risk of damaging
the mechanism if the correction is made during this time interval.
Correction of the date (4) should not be carried out between
10:30pm and midnight, otherwise no change of date (4) will take
place over the ensuing 24 hours. There is no risk of damaging the
mechanism if the correction is made during this time interval.

C: Time setting position.
When pulled out to this position, rotation of the crown (I) enables
the time to be set. Then push the crown (I) back to position A to
restart the watch.
It is generally preferable to set the time by advancing the hour and
minute hands (1 and 2) in the clockwise direction. The hands can
however be moved backwards provided you end the adjustment by
advancing them.
NOTE: If the time is being set in the afternoon, the hour hand (1)
must have completed more than one full revolution since the last
change of day of the week and date (hands 3 and 4) to ensure the
date changes at midnight.
Water-resistance
The water-resistance of the watch has been tested at a pressure
of 3 bar.
