Setting your watch correctly
Set your watch correctly as follows:
• Release the crown by rotating it to the left.
• Wind the movement until it is fully wound (about 40 revolutions of the
crown).
• Pull the crown to position 1.
• Rotating the crown to the right causes the date indicator to change in
steps. Set yesterday's date.
• Pull the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. For setting the
time accurately to the second, it is best to bring the movement to a stop
as the seconds hand passes over 60.
• Turn the hands forwards until the date indicator changes to today's date.
The hands will now be positioned between 0.00 and 1.00 in the morning.
• Now set the precise time by turning the hands forwards; in the afternoon,
the hands must be turned past 12.00 (noon) once again.
• Push the crown back to position 0 to start the watch movement.
• Now push the crown to position X and secure it by rotating it to the right
at the same time.
Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2,
the crown must nevertheless always be screwed down again for normal use
(position X).
Reading the time in the dark
The dial as well as the hour and minute hands of your watch are provided
with luminous elements which permit the time to be read without problem,
even in total darkness.
