SETTING THE TIME
To set the time, unscrew the crown completely
(Nautilus models), pull it gently all the way out, and
move the hands in either direction. Once you have
set the correct time, push the crown home again
(and screw it down). The 24-hour indication, linked
to the central hour and minute display, makes it
possible to distinguish a.m. and p.m. times. When
you turn the hands clockwise beyond midnight, the
calendar displays will advance as well. We advise
against turning the hands counterclockwise across
midnight because this would desynchronize the
calendar displays; however, it would not damage
the calendar mechanism.
ANNUAL CALENDAR
The Annual Calendar indicates the day of the week,
the month, and the date, automatically taking into
account months with 30 and 31 days. If the watch
is worn daily, the date only needs to be corrected
on March 1 (forward by 3 days in non-leap years,
and by 2 days in leap years). A calendar correction
may also be necessary if the watch was set aside for
a longer period of time and stopped running. If the
hands are moved clockwise beyond midnight, the
calendar displays will advance by one day.
The crown must be completely unscrewed
before you can wind the watch or set the
time (Nautilus models).
Please wind the watch and set the time before
you put the watch on. This prevents lateral
pressure on the winding stem. Please use
your fingernails to pull the crown out and
turn it gently between two fingertips.
Never pull out the crown in a humid envi-
ronment or underwater: the water resist-
ance of your watch is assured only when
the crown is pushed home (and screwed
down).
Correction push pieces should be actuated
exclusively with the correction stylus that
was delivered with the watch. The use of
any other tool could damage your timepiece.
Do not perform any calendar correction
between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. or moon-phase
correction between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
The calendar corrections must be performed
strictly in the order described below:
1. Move the hands to 6 a.m.
2. Set the date to the first day of the month
3. Correct the month
4. Correct the date
5. Correct the day of the week
6. Correct the moon phase
7. Set the time
