With the crown in the normal position (0), you can wind the watch
by turning the crown clockwise. In order to guarantee maximum
precision, always wind the watch fully to the marking of 8 days
on the power reserve display. To ensure maximum accuracy, you
should fully wind your watch every day as a matter of routine.
The crown must always be in position 0 when you are wearing
your watch.

DAT E S E T T I N G
If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date
manually to the first day of the following month. Pull the crown
out to position 1. You can now set the date by turning the crown
to the left (direct advance). You should not use the rapidadjust-
ment function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the movement
automatically advances the date during this period.

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. 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. 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.
