Use
Starting the watch:
Unscrew the crown. Crown is then in position 1. A few clockwise turns of the crown are enough
to set the watch running. It will then automatically wind up when you wear it. Please note that the
crown does not lock when winding, even when the watch is fully wound.
When the operation is completed, screw the crown in.
Operating indicator:
The seconds disc completes one revolution in 60 seconds. It also shows you that the watch is run-
ning.
Setting the time:
Unscrew the crown. Then pull the crown out to position 3.
The movement will be locked.
Move the hands clockwise until the desired time is displayed. When the operation is complete, push
the crown back to position 1. The watch starts running again.
Screw the crown in.
Setting the date:
Unscrew the crown.
Then pull the crown out to position 2. This timepiece features a date display window at 6 o’clock
and a rapid correction system.
If you have to move the date one day forward, turn crown (in position 2) in an anti-clockwise direc-
tion. Repeat the operation until the desired date is displayed. For months with fewer than 31 days,
repeat this process to reach the 1st of the following month.
When the operation is completed, push the crown back to position 1 and screw the crown in.
Note: date correction should not be performed between 10.30 p.m. and 3.30 a.m. During this peri-
od the automatic date-change mechanism is already in action.

Operating the chronograph:
The central second hand on the Le Rhöne Road Racer
displays the chronograph second to the nearest eighth of
a second. A counter located at 9 o’clock tallies the minutes
up to 60 minutes.
• Push-piece at 2 o’clock: this push-piece starts and stops
the chronograph function.
• Push-piece at 4 o’clock: this push-piece resets the
counters and the central second hand. When timing is in
progress, pressing this push-piece has no effect.
Screw-in crown:
To ensure perfect water-resistance to the depth for which
the model was designed, the crown must be unscrewed
before performing any operation with it, such as setting
the time or the date.
1. Unscrew the crown for normal use.
2. In order to ensure the watch’s water-resistance, the
crown must be screwed back down after use. To do so,
screw down the crown while pressing onto the case.
