Starting the watch
Crown in position . This position
enables you to restart the self-
winding movement manually by
turning the crown upwards ( ).
Important note: Do it before
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
direction.
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 indispensable
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 the
aperture A displays the required
day. Then activate corrector c
until the required date (outside dial
rim C ), then corrector b until the
aperture 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 hands jumps from right to
left). Count in a diary the number
of days elapsed since the last new
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 indicates between 9 am
and 12 noon.
The moon phase hand jumps
between 10.15 am and 11.00 am.
Kindly remember: This watch is
guaranteed water-resistant to 3 bar
(30 metres), provided the crown is
in position .
