B: Time setting position.
When pulled out to this position, rotation of the winding and time-
setting crown (I) enables the time to be set. Afterwards push the
winding and time-setting crown (I) back to position A to restart the
watch.
It is generally preferable to set the time by advancing the hour and
minute hands (1 and 2) in the clockwise direction. However the
hands can be moved backwards provided you end the adjustment
by advancing them.
Water-resistance
The water-resistance of the watch has been tested at a pressure
of 3 bar.
Displays
In addition to the basic functions (hour and minutes), your watch has
a number of displays:
Tourbillon with indication of the seconds (3):
The seconds hand is placed on the shaft of the tourbillon carriage
which rotates on its own axis every minute to compensate for the
effects of gravity on the sprung balance.
Power reserve hand (4):
This indicates the extent to which the watch has been wound
and therefore the available “autonomy”. When the hand is on the
minimum graduation, the spring is almost entirely run down and the
watch may stop or be less accurate.
Setting instructions
Winding and time setting:
The winding and time-setting crown (I) can be placed in two
positions A and B.
A: Pushed down against the case, winding position.
This is the normal position when the watch is being worn and
guarantees the best water-resistance.
When the power reserve hand (4) is close to the minimum, or
every day at roughly the same time, wind the watch by rotating the
winding and time-setting crown (I). The power reserve hand (4) lets
you monitor how much the watch has been wound.
Do not force the winding mechanism when you feel resistance
increasing.
When the power reserve hand (4) is on the minimum graduation, the
spring is almost entirely unwound and the watch may stop or be less
accurate.
