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 minute 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. Moving the hands forwards past midnight causes the calendar to switch to the
following day. When advancing the calendar, you can follow and observe the auto
matic switching sequence.
Important:
– Under no circumstances must the hands be turned back between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.
as this will result in maladjustment of the calendar.
– The hands must never be turned anticlockwise beyond 2 a.m.
– The crown must be pushed back into the normal position (X) and screwed in before
wearing the watch to avoid unintentional maladjustment of the calendar.
