Normal position
In the normal position (position 0), you can wind the movement by rotating
the crown in a clockwise direction. You should always wind the watch
completely until the resistance of the crown is felt. Your watch has a power
reserve of 48 hours. You should wind your watch fully every day to achieve
maximum accuracy.
Setting the time
Pull the crown to position 1. This will stop the movement. To ensure that
the set time is accurate to the second, it is best to stop the movement
as the seconds hand reaches 60. You can now position the minute hand
exactly on the minute line. To start the seconds hand, push the crown
back to position 0.
Operating the split-seconds chronograph
Start:
Start the chronograph by pressing the start-stop button.
Intermediate timing:
Actuate the split-seconds stop button and this
will stop the split-seconds hand, but it will not influence time
measurement. You have now recorded an intermediate time while the
standard stopwatch continues to run. By actuating the stop button once
again, you can cause the split-seconds hand to catch up with the regular
second stop hand again, and your chronograph is then ready for the
next intermediate time stop.
Stop:
Stop the chronograph by pressing the start-stop button again.
Both seconds hands stop simultaneously.
Resetting:
Press the reset button. This will cause the chronograph hands
to fly-back to the zero position. The separately stopped split-seconds hand
is not automatically reset, but must be reset by pressing the split-seconds
hand button again.
Aggregate time recording:
You can add the stop times together by
pressing the start-stop button again, instead of the reset button, after
taking the first measurement.
Seconds counter:
The scale for the central seconds stop hand and the
split-seconds hand is situated at the edge of the dial.
Minutes counter:
The display at 12.00 features a 30-minute scale with a
slow jumping hand. This hand makes two complete revolutions in one hour.
The minutes counter is not affected if you measure an intermediate time.
