USE
Winding
Crown in position
I
, not pulled out
Manual winding is necessary if you have not worn your watch
for some considerable period of time. To restart it, you only
need to turn the crown a few times (clockwise), or to tilt
your watch from side to side a few times. To restore your
watch’s 42 hour power reserve, around 65 turns of the
crown (forward) are required.
When wearing your watch, the automatic device winds it
every time you move your wrist.
Notes
The accuracy may be influenced by the wearing conditions.
There is no stop of the crown at full winding.

. During this operation, your watch will
continue running, so the time will not need to be re-set.
You will need to re-set the date manually after months with
less than 31 days.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
We would advise you to clean your watch regularly (except
for the leather strap) using a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy
water. After immersion in salt water, rinse the watch in fresh
water and leave it to dry completely.
Ensure that you do not leave it in places subject to great
temperature and humidity variations, in intense sunlight or
near strong magnetic fields.
We recommend you have your watch inspected every 3
to 4 years by your approved dealer or agent. For an irre-
proachable maintenance service and to ensure the warranty
remains valid, always approach an approved dealer or agent.
Water resistance precautions
Your watch is water resistant but, following a shock,
it may lose its water resistance without you realising.
Water resistance must be checked up during its scheduled
inspection.
Important
In the event of failure of your watch, entrust it only to an
approved dealer or agent (see the warranty).
