PREPARATION FOR USE
WINDING – 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. Unscrew the water-resistant crown anti-clockwise. Wind the
watch by approximately 40 clockwise turns of the crown.
2. Pull the crown out to position 2 to adjust the calendar to the day
prior to the activation date: turn it clockwise to adjust the date
(a) and then anti-clockwise to adjust the day (b).
3. Pull the crown out to position 3. Turn the hands forward until the
correct date jumps into place, at midnight. Then adjust the hour
and minute.
4. Push the crown back into position 1. Press it lightly, while gently
turning clockwise, then tighten it again until you feel some
resistance.
Do not force it!
