3-position crown
Power-reserve indicator
Certain watches have a power-reserve indicator
(calibre L602).
If the watch is worn rarely or not at all, the
hand will gradually shift anti-clockwise. When
it indicates that the power-reserve is below
1/4, the watch should either be wound or worn
to avoid it stopping.
When the watch is wound the power-reserve indicator will shift
clockwise.
Adjusting the time and stop seconds (standard)
To synchronise the watch with the offi cial time signal (radio,
telephone, etc.), pull the crown to its furthest position 3 , at the
moment when the small seconds hand is at 60, then push the crown
back in again to position
1
at the time signal. Set the time by turning
the crown in the desired direction.
The calendar changes every time the hour hand passes midnight.
Quick date adjustment (standard)
Pull the crown out to the intermediate position 2 . Adjust the date
by turning the crown forwards (clockwise), then push the crown
back in again to position
1
. It is necessary to adjust the date after
each month with less than 31 days.
