With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also wind the automatic movement
by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are enough to start the movement. However, it
is better to wind the watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions
as this will ensure maximum accuracy. The crown must always be in position X when
you are wearing your watch.

If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date manually to the first
day of the following month. Release the screwin crown and pull it out to position 1.
You can now set the date by turning the crown to the left (direct advance). You should
not use the rapidadvance function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the move
ment automatically advances the date during this period.

Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time accurate
ly 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.
