PREPARATION FOR USE
WINDING – TIME-SETTING
NB : mechanical watches with a date indicator window are equipped with a
complex mechanism that is set into motion between 8 pm and 3 am. Its is
therefore vital to avoid adjusting the calendar or moving the time backwards
during this period.
1. Unscrew the water-resistant crown anti-clockwise. Wind the
watch through approximately 40 clockwise turns of the crown.
2. Pull the crown out to position 2, and turn it clockwise to adjust
the calendar to the day prior to the activation date.
3. Pull the crown out to position 3. Turn the hands past midnight so
as to make the calendar jump to the correct date. Then adjust
the hour and minute.
4. Push the crown back to position 1. Press it gently, turning it gently
clockwise, then tighten it again until you feel some resistance.
Do not force!

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
RIDER-TAB BEZEL
The bezel of your watch is fi tted with 4 hour-markers called
rider-tabs : they are used as points of reference to mark a start
time or a limit time you wish to remember. On models without
a chronograph, they also provide a "minute chronograph"
function enabling you to measure time elapsed in minutes.
Rider-tabs make it easier to rotate the bezel by giving a better
grip (especially when wearing gloves) and additionally protect
the glass.
