PREPARATION FOR USE
WINDING – DATE ADJUSTMENT – TIME-SETTING
NB: mechanical watches endowed with a date indicator window
are equipped with a complex mechanism that is set into motion
between 8 pm and 3 am. It is therefore vital to avoid adjusting
the calendar or setting the time backwards during this period.
1. Wind the watch by approximately 40 clockwise turns
of the crown.
2. Pull the crown out to position 3 to adjust the hour
and minute, referring to the 24H display to avoid any
confusion, such as between 10 am and 10 pm.
3. Place the crown in position 2. Turn it anticlockwise to
show the correct month (the month display changes
with each full rotation of the hand). Then position the
hand on the correct date.

4. Set the correct day by using a soft point to press on
the corrector located at 10 o'clock on the side of the
case.
5. Push the crown back into position 1.
