Starting the watch
Crown in position . This posi-

each use (minimum 40 turns).
Setting the time
Pull the crown out to position
. Then turn the crown upwards
( ) to move the hands up to the
date correction and then to the
required time.
For accurate time-setting, ensure
that the last adjustment of the
hands is made in a clockwise di-
rection.
After this operation, push the
crown back to position ; then
turn the crown downwards ( )
to ensure it turns freely.
Important note: In the time-
setting position, do not turn the
crown downwards ( ). It is IM-
PORTANT to set the watch to
time before making any other
corrections (day, date, month,
lunation).
Correcting the day, date and
month
Activate corrector a until window
A displays the required day. Then
activate corrector c until the re-
quired date (outside dial rim C),
then corrector b until window B
shows the required month.
Important note: Once the time-
setting is complete, corrections of
the day, date and month must not
under any circumstances be done
while the watch shows the time
between 10 pm and 2 am.
Correcting the moon phase
display
Activate corrector d so as to
complete the lunar cycle (meaning
when the hand jumps from left to
right). Count in a diary the number
of days elapsed since the last full
moon, then press corrector d as
many times as the number of days
counted.
Important note: Once the time-
setting is complete, the moon
corrections must not under any
circumstances be performed
while the watch shows the time
between 09.00 am and 12.00 pm
(noon).
The moon phase hand jumps be-
tween 10.15 am and 11.00 am.
