ETTING THE TIME
1. Unscrew the winding crown (A) and pull it out to the second click (position 2).
2. Check that the local hour hand (B) is superimposed over the second time
zone hand (E). If it is not, push the winding crown back to the first click
(position 1). In this position the hour hand (B) moves in steps of one hour.
Move the hour hand (B) so that it coincides with that of the second time
zone (E). Then return it to position 2 to complete setting the time.
3. Set the correct time. Use the hand (F) to check that the time is correctly set
to before midday or after it. If, for example, it is 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
check that the hand (F) is in the left part of the small seconds dial.
4. Push back the winding crown (A) to the initial position (0) and screw it down
again.
For a rapid change of the time, start from position 1. In this position the hour
hand (B) moves in steps of one hour.
T
HE SECONDS RESET DEVICE
The small continuous seconds dial (D) is located at 9 o'clock. When the
winding crown (A) is unscrewed and pulled out to the second click (position
2) the small seconds hand immediately returns to zero. The seconds reset
device provides an extremely precise way of synchronising the watch with the
time source used as a reference.
Note: At the moment that the seconds reset device comes into operation, the
seconds hand is zeroed and the balance is stopped. If the crown should
inadvertently be pulled out to position 2 for a long time, the precise setting of
the time must be carried out again.

ETTING THE DATE
The watch has a gradual date change mechanism, a process which takes
about 3 hours to complete: from 10 p.m. to 1.00 a.m., with a margin of ± 30
24
minutes. This particular method of changing the date is inspired by the
mechanical tradition of Swiss watchmaking and it allows the date to be
changed in both directions, moving it either forwards or backwards. To set the
date indicated, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the winding crown (A) and pull it out to the first click (position 1).
Turn it clockwise or anti-clockwise until the correct date appears in the date
window located at 3 o'clock. If the date changes when the hour hand (B)
goes past 12, 12 corresponds to midnight, otherwise it corresponds to
midday.
2. Return the winding crown (A) to the initial position (0) and screw it down
again.

HE FUNCTION
The GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) system, also known as universal time and
adopted throughout the world, divides the terrestrial globe into 24 one-hour
sections (time zones), each equivalent to 15° of longitude. The Greenwich
meridian was taken as the fundamental reference meridian for the localization
of time zones by the international conferences held in Rome in 1883 and in
Washington in 1884.
Starting from meridian zero (or Greenwich meridian), 24 time zones have been
defined, from 0 to +12 towards the east, and from 0 to -12 towards the west.
The zero meridian has a very mportant function for sailors: the time at
Greenwich is the reference for the calculations which enable the longitude at
sea to be determined, and thus the establishment of the ship's exact position.
The GMT function enables the local time and the time in another country
(home time) to be read at the same time.

ETTING THE SECOND TIME ZONE
1. Unscrew the winding crown (A) and pull it out to the first click (position 1).
2. Set the required time. The hour hand (B) will move at intervals of one hour
