winding crown
The winding crown is used to wind the watch
(position 1) and to set the time (position 2).
winding
Your watch has a self-winding movement. The
movements of your wrist set a rotor in motion; this
tensions the mainspring which stores the energy.
Off the wrist, your watch has a power reserve of
35 hours. When it has stopped after depleting the
power reserve, it can be rewound by hand (about
10 clockwise turns of the crown). 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.
setting the time
To set the time, pull the crown out, and turn it in
either direction. The 24-hour indication makes it
possible to distinguish am and pm times. When
you turn the hands clockwise beyond midnight,
the calendar displays will advance as well. We
advise against turning the hands counterclockwise
across midnight because this would desynchronize
the calendar displays; however, it would not dam-
age the calendar mechanism.
If your watch has a screw-down crown (Nautilus
models), it must be unscrewed before you can set
the time. When it is unscrewed, pull the crown out
to positions 2 to make the settings. Then push the
crown back home and screw it down again.
