3. Automatic time synchronisation
Automatic time synchronisation always takes place at night based on
the local time set on your watch:
EU – DCF 77:
at approx. 2:00 a.m.
UK – MSF:
at approx. 2:00 a.m.
JP – JJY40 and JJY60: at approx. 2:00 a.m.
US – WWVB:
at approx. 2:00 a.m.
At the start of the synchronisation process the second hand moves
to the 8 o’clock position and remains in that position for the entire
duration of the synchronisation (max. 15 minutes) or until this is
manually terminated. The hands also stop and remain in this posi-
tion during the synchronisation process (max. 15 minutes).
After the
time has been successfully synchronised, the watch sets itself to the
time received. The automatic time synchronisation process can be
terminated by pressing the corrector button. After any termination
of the process or if no signal is picked up, the watch sets itself to the
internally stored time.
Reception indicator
Your watch’s reception indicator gives you information about its
reception status at any time. To access this information, press the
corrector button for less than 3 seconds in crown position A. For a
period of 4 seconds, the second hand shows you the current recep-
tion status.
H1 = DCF 77.5 is what was last received
H3 = MSF is what was last received
H5 = JJY 60 is what was last received
H6 = At the last attempt to synchronise time the watch was unable
to pick up a time signal and no synchronisation took place. Until
the next synchronisation, the watch’s movement runs on the
basis of a quartz watch.
H7 = JJY 40 is what was last received
H8 = The watch is in reception phase and is currently attempting to
access time information.
H9 = WWVB is what was last received
