Instructions
WINDING CROWN
The winding crown is used to wind the watch
(position 1) and to set the time (position 2)
MANUALLY WOUND
Your watch has a manually wound movement.
When fully wound, it has a power reserve of at
least 48 hours. We recommend that you wind
your watch each day at about the same time,
preferably in the morning (about 25 clockwise
turns of the crown).
Caution: Please wind the watch before you put it on. This
way, you can avoid lateral pressure on the winding stem
which in the course of the years could damage the stem
tube. Turn the crown gently and uniformly and stop as soon
as you feel resistance; if you wind the watch too vigorously,
this might damage the movement.

SettING the tIMe
To set the time, pull the crown out, and turn it
in either direction. Once the correct time is set,
press the crown home again. The movement has a
stop-seconds mechanism (balance wheel blocker)
that allows the watch to be synchronized with
a time signal to an accuracy of one second. The
seconds hand stops when the winding crown is
pulled. It starts running again as soon as you push
the crown home again.
Caution: Please set the time before you put the watch
on. This prevents lateral pressure on the winding stem. We
recommend that you turn the crown only with two fingers
and use your fingernails to pull it out.
