STARTING THE WATCH
Your AVIATOR watch is battery-powered with power reserve up to 45 months. If you envisage
not wearing your AVIATOR watch for several weeks or months, we would advise you to store
it with the crown pulled out into position 2. This cuts the electrical power supply to the motor,
consequently extending the battery life.
When wearing the watch, always return the crown to position 0 to ensure your watch
is water resistant.
DATE SETTING
First, set the time to 12 midnight in order to know the exact starting point of 24 hours. To
set the date on your AVIATOR watch, pull the crown to position 1, turn the crown forward to
choose the correct date. Once date is set correctly, push back the crown to position 0. Now
you can set the correct time.
If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date manually to the first day of
the following month.
TIME SETTING
Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement to set the time accurately to the
second. It is the best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes “60”. Now move the
minute hand a little bit beyond the time to be set. Then adjust the position of minute hand by
moving it backward to the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand starts to
move just when you restart the movement. To make the watch working again push the crown
back to position 0.
