AVOID OPERATING
MISTAKES
GENERAL
INFORMATION
DAY/DATE ADJUSTMENT
Please pay attention to the operating manual that accompanies
each watch.
Do not engage the quick day and date
adjustment between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM to avoid damage
to the date-change mechanism. Should the situation arise
that a change must be made during this period, please turn
the hands past 2:00 AM and turn them back once the date has
been set.
SCREW-DOWN CROWN/PUSHERS
If your watch has a screw-down crown or pushers please make
sure they are screwed down at any time you could get in
contact with water or any other liquids.
WINDING
The automatic watch is geared by turning the crown a few
times. It is impossible to overwind an automatic movement
by turning the crown. Once started, the automatic movement
has the special advantage of being able to wind itself using the
wearer’s kinetic energy.
WATER RESISTANCE
A regular check may uncover damage. General facts: A watch’s
gaskets will age and can affect the timepiece’s water resistance
through contact with chemicals, solvents, soaps, shampoos, and
saltwater. Heat, steam, and differences in temperature such as
when entering the water after sunbathing represent extreme
conditions for a watch. This results in extreme thermic stress for
the case. A check on water resistance annually is recommended
and can be done by a qualified watchmaker.
SHOCK PROTECTION
The movement is capable of withstanding vibrations and
shocks up to a certain degree. Flexible jewels (synthetic rubies)
keep the balance wheel in place and prevent damage to the
pivots should the watch impact or fall.
Please note that the manufacturer’s warranty cannot be
granted for operating mistakes.
