PILOT’S WATCH TIMEZONER SPITFIRE
— 2 3 —
SETTING YOUR WATCH CORRECTLY
Important note:
The rotating bezel must be pushed down completely and turned simultaneously in
order to be adjusted.
To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:
– Turn the rotating bezel until the time zone you are in is at “12 o’clock” (above the triangle on the dial).
If it is summer time in the time zone in question, you must set the corresponding dot with the letter
“S” to the “12 o’clock” position. Ensure that the rotating bezel noticeably clicks into the selected
position.
– Release the crown by turning it to the left.
– Wind the movement (approximately 20 anticlockwise revolutions of the crown).
– Pull out the crown to position 1. 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.
– Turn the hands forwards or backwards until the date display shows the current date.
– Turn the hands further until they show the local time. Ensure that the 24-hour display also shows
the correct time. Otherwise, you must turn the hour hand 12 hours further.
– 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.
