minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then position the minute hand by moving it gently back-
wards until it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand begins to
move immediately when you restart the movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to
position 0. When setting the time, please be aware of the date change, which always takes place at
12 midnight. If this change has already taken place at 12 noon, you must move the hands forwards
by 12 hours.
Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2, the crown should always
be screwed in again for normal use (position X) to ensure the stability of the seal and to protect the
winding mechanism.
READING THE TIME IN THE DARK
Both the dial and the hour and minute hands of your watch have luminescent elements that allow
you to read the time effortlessly, even in total darkness. The distinctive triangle at 12 o'clock serves
as a reference point.

ADJUSTING AND SET TING THE METAL BR ACELET
The metal bracelet has been designed so that you can easily adjust it to the size of your wrist. You can
make this adjustment yourself by removing or adding individual bracelet links. Furthermore, for your
personal convenience, this bracelet has an innovative fine-adjustment system, permitting you to extend
or reduce the length of the bracelet quite simply by up to 6 millimetres, depending on your needs. To
increase the length of bracelet, press the button with the IWC logo and pull the bracelet slightly apart.
To shorten it, push it together in the area of the clasp; here the button does not need to be pressed.
TAKING THE BR ACELET APART
Open the folding clasp by pressing the buttons on the side. Lay the bracelet with the outside on
a firm base. To avoid scratching the bracelet and base, place a cloth underneath the bracelet. Using
the special tool provided, you can now push down the fixing bolt at the desired point of separation
and, at the same time, slide the bracelet link outwards (1). Now slide the opposing external bracelet
link away from the bracelet with the two hinged links, without pushing down its fixing bolt (2). The
bracelet is now separated (3).
