How to operate your Malvern Chronometer
For a superior water resistance your crown is
of the screw-in type. The crown should sit
flush to the case (position
1 ) in order to maintain
water resistance.
• First unscrew the crown anti-clockwise from the
case to position
2
for winding in power. Wind in
a clockwise direction to re-power the watch.
Your C50 Malvern COSC has a maximum power
reserve of 38 hours when fully wound.
After a period of non-use, we recommend
manually winding the watch to ensure the rotor
weight sustains the amount of power in the
mainspring whilst worn on your wrist – this can
be done via twenty full revolutions of the crown.
• Pull gently into position
3
. For rapid day
correction, turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
For rapid date correction, turn in a clockwise
direction.
• Pull gently into position
4
. This position is used
for handsetting and stopping of the second hand.
For precise time setting it is recommended to
pass beyond the desired minute and to set the
hand backwards.
PLEASE NOTE: Date correction should not be carried
out between 20.00 hr and 02.00 hr as the watch
gearing will already be aligning itself to change the
date. The crown should always be pushed in after
adjustment, and it is best to do so from position 3
to avoid advancing beyond the desired date.
You must always ensure the crown is fully
tightened before any use in water.
