PRECaUTIONS fOR USE

Your HYT watch is set and ready to be worn. 

The meniscus

1

 in the capillary

3

 displays the time continuously while the watch is on your 

wrist, even if you wear it in extreme temperatures (0°C to +50°C).

Important :

 If you plan to not wear the watch for 

a while, the coloured liquid has to be stored in its 
own reservoir (on the left bellows

2

).

To  do  this,  unscrew  the  crown  and  pull  it  out  to 
position C (time setting). Allow the coloured liquid 
to move into “Zone II” until it starts its retrograde 
(ensure  the  time  needed  for  this  movement  is 
respected). Once the retrograde phase is complete 
(coloured liquid in “Zone I”), ensure that the crown 
remains in the time setting position C. Your watch 
is now ready to be stopped for an extended period.

The capillary

3

  is  then  filled  with  transparent 

liquid  (it  is  possible  to  still  see  some  coloured 
liquid in “Zone I”).

Produced and tested to very stringent criteria, the constituent components of your HYT 
watch  together  form  an  exceptionally  water  resistant  unit  (to  a  depth  of  50  metres).

 

To  ensure  these  qualities  are  preserved,  we  recommend  that  you  replace  the  gaskets 
every  3  years.  Temperature  variations,  moisture,  perspiration  or  repeated  impacts  may 
adversely affect its water resistance over the years.

With  its  water  resistant  case,  your  HYT  watch  is  fully  washable.  It  should  be  cleaned 
regularly in lukewarm, soapy water, rinsed and then carefully dried with a soft cloth. After 
exposure to sea water, rinse your HYT watch in fresh water.
