To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:
– Wind the movement (approximately 20 revolutions of the
crown).
– Pull out the crown to position 2 and turn the hands forwards to
approximately 4.40 a.m. This ensures that the calendar mecha-
nism is not in the middle of the automatic switching phase and
that you can also see the calendar displays easily.
– Push the crown to position 0 and pull it back to position 1.
– Slowly turn the crown to the left. The calendar now advances
in steps. Set the display to yesterday's date, keeping an eye on
the month and the year.
– Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement.
To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the
movement as the seconds hand passes 60.
– Turn the hands forwards until the date display changes to to-
day's date. The hands will now be positioned between 12 mid-
night and 1 a.m.
– Now turn the hands forwards to the current time. If you are
setting the watch in the afternoon, you must turn the hands
past 12 (noon) again. 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
