it is important to keep the pushpieces
screwed in when the chronograph is not in use.

WINDING – TIME-SETTING
1. Unscrew the water-resistant crown in an anti-clock-
wise direction. Wind the watch by 40 clockwise
turns of the crown.
2. Pull the crown out to position 2, turn it clockwise to
adjust the calendar to the day prior to the date
when it is set into operation.
3. Pull the crown out to position 3. Turn the hands so
as to make the calendar jump once when the hands
pass through midnight. Then adjust the hour and
minute.

turning it gently in a clockwise direction, then
tighten it again until you feel some resistance.
