Setting the date
Crown A
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the
direction of the arrow.
Then pull crown A out to position 2.
You may turn the crown in either direction, as the main hour
hand and the date are driven either forward or backward
depending on the chosen direction. Note that to correct
the date by one day, the local time hand must complete
two revolutions of the dial. The minutes hand keeps running,
maintaining an accurate watch setting. The hour hand moves
in 1-hour jumps.
Turn the crown forward or backward (depending on the
closest distance between the date indicated and the desired
date), and turn the hour hand as many times as necessary
until the desired date is displayed.
Setting the local time (main display)
After setting the date, move the local time forward or
backward past midnight to bring it to the desired time, in
order to take account of the date indicator :
- You have turned the crown clockwise : if the date moves
forward when the hands pass midnight, you are moving
into the morning.
- You have turned the crown anti-clockwise : if the date
moves backward when the hands pass midnight, you are
moving back into the evening.
Once the operation is complete, push the crown back into
position 1 and turn the compression key to the “closed”
position in the direction of the arrows.
Operating indicator
The aperture at 6 o’clock reveals a two-coloured luminous
disc, which completes one revolution every 60 seconds. This
function, known as the operating indicator, indicates that the
watch is running.
Diving bezel
The Master Compressor Diving GMT watch model is
equipped with a one-way rotating bezel (i.e. one that can only
be turned anti-clockwise), with a mark every minute.
It can measure a particular time using the luminous white
triangular marking as a reference point in relation to the hour
hand or minute hand.
To move the diving bezel, you need only grip it with two
fingers and turn it anti-clockwise to the desired position.
Adjusting the wristlet
NB : The visuals of the wristlet illustrated below may not
correspond to your wristlet, but the demonstration illustrated is
completely identical and valid.
Adjusting the clasp
The clasp on metal bracelets and articulated rubber straps is
fitted with an adjustment system enabling you to lengthen or
shorten the wristlet by 4 mm on either side, for greater wearer
comfort.
Using the fine adjustment system
Switching from the long position to the short position :
