2. Setting the date and the local time
(crown in
position 2 )
To set the date and the local time, follow
the steps in the order given:
– Pull the crown out to the first notch.
– Set the date by turning the crown in
either direction. The hour hand moves
in increments of one hour. The date
changes when the hour hand passes
midnight, in either direction, after two
full turns around the dial.
– Set the local time by turning the crown
in either direction. The hour hand
moves in increments of one hour.
Be aware of the difference between
noon and midnight (the date changes
as the hour hand passes midnight).
– Push in and then screw down the crown.
The local time is identical to the reference
time (24-hour hand) if the wearer is
currently located in his reference zone.
It can be easily adjusted when travelling.
