DATE SETTING
If a month has fewer than 31 days, you
will need to set the date manually to
the first day of the following month. Pull
the crown out to position 1. You can
now set the date by turning the crown
to the left (direct advance). You should
not use the rapid-advance function
between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because
the movement auto matically advances
the date during this period.

TIME SETTING
Pull out the crown to position 2. This
will stop the movement. To set the
time accurately to the second, it is
best to stop the movement as the
seconds hand passes 60. Now move
the minute hand a few minute strokes
beyond the time to be set. Then posi-
tion the minute hand by moving it
gently backwards until it is exactly
above the correct minute stroke. This
ensures that the minute hand begins to
move immediately when you restart the
movement. To start the seconds hand,
push in the crown to position 0. When
setting the time, please be aware of
