STARTING THE WATCH
Your AVIATOR watch is self-winded and has 38 hours power reserve. It means that when
the watch is worn, the automatic mechanism will wind the movement. However, if you leave
the timepiece for prolonged time and the watch stops, you need to wind the movement by
rotating the crown clockwise (approximately 40 revolutions of the crown will be enough, be
careful, as the winding mechanism does not have a stop to prevent over winding).
Always return the crown to position 0 to ensure your watch is water resistant.
DATE SETTING
First, set the time to 12 midnight in order to know the exact starting point of 24 hours. To
set the date on your AVIATOR watch, pull the crown to position I, turn the crown forward to
choose the correct date. In order to set the week day turn the crown backward and select
the current day. Once the date is set correctly, push the crown to position II and set the time.
When you finish the set-up, do not forget to push the crown back to position 0.
If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date manually to the first day of
the following month.
Make sure you DO NOT set the date between the times 9 PM (21:00) and 3 AM
(03:00). It might damage the mechanism.
TIME SETTING
Pull out the crown to position II. This will stop the movement to set the time accurately to the
second. It is the best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes “60”. Now move the
minute hand a little bit beyond the time to be set. Then adjust the position of minute hand by
moving it backward to the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand starts to
move just when you restart the movement. To make the watch working again push the crown
back to position 0.
