THE HEART OF THE  
YACHT-MASTER II MODEL

USING THE OYSTER PERPETUAL  
YACHT-MASTER II 
 
1. Programming the countdown  
(before a race):

to programme the countdown, follow 
the steps in the order given:

 

– Ensure that the countdown seconds 

hand is stopped. If not, stop it by 
pressing the upper pusher.

 

– Put the bezel in 

position II

 by turning 

it counterclockwise as far as it will go. 
This blocks the upper pusher.

 

– Press the lower pusher until it 

remains depressed. The countdown 
seconds hand returns to 12 o’clock. 
The countdown minutes hand comes 

back to the same minute programmed 
at the last setting.

 

– Unscrew the crown.

 

– Set the countdown duration by turning 

the crown clockwise. The countdown 
minute hand jumps from minute to 
minute. Stop at the desired countdown 
duration (10 minutes in this case).

 

– Put the bezel in 

position I 

by turning 

it clockwise as far as it will go. This 
unlocks the upper pusher and releases 
the lower pusher.

 

– Push in and then screw down the 

crown. The countdown is now 
programmed.
