(Fig. 8)
SETTING THE TIME
Pull the crown out to position
III
(the second hand
❸
will stop running)
and turn the crown counter-clockwise. Move the hour hand
❶
forward over
12 o’clock until the date changes. Now you know the watch has its midnight
position (moment while the date will be changed automatically by the move-
ment). Move the hands forward to the actual time you want to set. Be aware,
if you move some hours, the watch will show morning time and if you move
once again over 12 o’clock, the watch shows afternoon time. When time is
set, push the crown in position
I
and the time will start to work. You can see
the second hand
❸
moving again.
SETTING THE MOON PHASE
For the most convenient setting you wait until the next full moon. On the
day of the full moon, the moon on your watch has to be entirely visible in its
window or to be symmetrically in the middle. To set you proceed the same
way as for time setting. Crown in position
III
you turn counter-clockwise.
Every time the hour hands move over midnight you will see the moon moving.
Repeat this until you have the moon in the middle of the window and so you
set the full moon. After the setting of the moon phase, push the crown again
back in position
I
.
On the flap back (or on our homepage) you find the dates of the next full
moon for the Middle European (GMT) time zone. For the precise full moon
day at your local time you need to get your local information. There might
be a difference of one day.
SETTING THE DATE
Take care to not change the date while the hour hand is between 8.00 p.m.
and 1.00 a.m. The movement might be in the process of changing the date
and by changing the date with the crown in that moment, you might damage
the movement.
Pull the crown out to position

(the second hand
❸
will continue running)
and turn the crown clockwise to set the date.
