Setting the time
Pull the crown to position 2. This will stop the move-
ment. To ensure that the set time is accurate to the sec-
ond, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds
hand reaches 60. You can now position the minute hand
exactly on the minute line. To start the seconds hand,
push the crown back to position 0. When setting the
time, please be aware that the date change always
takes place at midnight (24.00). If this change has al-
ready taken place at 12 noon, you must move the hands
forwards by 12 hours.
Setting your watch correctly
Set your watch correctly as follows:
• Release the crown by rotating it to the left.
• Wind the movement until it is fully wound
(ca. 30 revolutions of the crown).
• Pull the crown to position 1.
• Rotating the crown to the right causes the date
indicator to change in steps. Set yesterday’s date.
• Rotating the crown to the left causes the day
indicator to change in steps. Set yesterday’s day.
• Pull the crown to position 2, and this will stop the
movement.
• Turn the hands forwards until the date indicator
changes to today’s date. The hands will now be
positioned between 0.00 and 1.00 in the morning.
• Now set the precise time by turning the hands
forwards; in the afternoon, the hands must be turned
past 12 (noon) once again.
• Push the crown back to position 0 to start the watch
movement.
• Now push the crown to position X and secure it by
rotating it to the right at the same time.
Important:
Although the watch is water-resistant in po-
sitions 0, 1 and 2, the crown must nevertheless always
be screwed down again for normal use (position X).
Reading the time in the dark
The dial, hour hand and minute hand and the gradua-
tions on the bezel of your watch are provided with lumi-
nous elements, which allow the time to be read without
problem even in total darkness. The luminous element
at 12 o’clock serves as a reference point.
