GENERAL USE
Starting the watch
.
When the watch has stopped (screw-in crown - position 0): unscrew the crown (turn anticlockwise) to
position 1. Wind the movement by turning the crown clockwise. After approximately 40 rotations, the watch is fully wound
(the winding mechanism does not have a stop to prevent overwinding). The power reserve is approximately 40 hours when
fully wound.
When the watch is worn, the automatic mechanism will wind the movement.
Setting the date.
Quick setting (crown in position 2): pull the crown out to position 2 and set the date by turning the crown
anticlockwise. As with all mechanical watches with a date function, quickset date setting (crown in position 2) MUST NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be carried out between the times of 9 PM (21.00) and 3 AM (03:00).
Slow setting (crown in
position 3): to ensure the date changes at midnight rather than noon, it is recommended to set the date by adjusting the hands
of the watch. Pull the crown out to position 3 and turn the hands until the date changes. Then set the precise time.
Setting the time: Time zone 1
(crown in position 3). The seconds hand will stop, enabling the time to be set to the nearest
second. Set the time by turning the crown in the required direction.
Setting Time zone 2 - GMT-24H hand (crown in position 2): Place the bezel in the neutral position (triangle on the bezel
opposite the 12 index on the dial). Turn the crown clockwise in order to move the GMT-24H hand (E) to the desired section
on the graduated bezel (C).
Setting Time zone 3
. A third time zone can be displayed using the rotating bezel and the GMT-24H hand (E). To display the
third time zone, turn the bezel clockwise (negative difference) or anticlockwise (positive difference) depending on the time
difference between the local time and the desired time zone.
