If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date
manually to the first day of the following month. Pull the crown
out to position 1. You can now set the date by turning the crown
to the left (direct advance). You should not use the rapid-advance
function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the movement auto-
matically advances the date during this period.

Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement.
To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the
movement as the seconds hand passes 60. Now move the min-
ute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then
position the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until
it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures that
the minute hand begins to move immediately when you restart
the movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to
position 0. When setting the time, please be aware of the date
change, which always takes place at 12 midnight. If this change
has already taken place at 12 noon, you must move the hands
forwards by 12 hours.
