Adjusting the phases of the moon:
The push-piece for adjusting the
phases of the moon is at 8 o’clock. Using a pointed object, press it in
until the full moon appears in the center of the phases of the moon aper-
ture. Check the date of the last full moon in a calendar that gives such
information. Press the corrector push-piece once for each day that has
passed since the last full moon.
Adjusting the date (31 days):
The push-piece for adjusting the date
is at 4 o’clock. Using a pointed object, press it in until the indicator
shows the desired date. It is necessary to correct the date by hand at
the end of each month that has fewer than 31 days.
Adjusting the month:
The push-piece for adjusting the month is at 2
o’clock. Using a pointed object, press it in until the desired month
appears.
Adjusting the day:
The push-piece for adjusting the day is at 10
o’clock. Using a pointed object press it in until the desired day appears.
Please Note:
To avoid damaging the mechanism, do not adjust any
functions between 22.00 and 24.00 hours; avoid adjusting the phases
of the moon using the corresponding push-piece between 15.00 and
17.00 hours.
Important:
If your watch stops it should only be repaired by an
approved Longines agent.

Functions of the two positions of the crown

Adjusting the time and stop seconds:
Pull the crown right out; the
