nal (telephone, radio, TV) and then push the crown back
in to position

actly one second later (logical function of adjusting the

Power-reserve indicator
Certain watches have a power-reserve indicator (calibres
L602, L693, L697).
If the watch is worn rarely or not at all, the hand will grad-
ually shift anti-clockwise. When it indicates that the
power-reserve is below 1/4, the watch should either be
wound or worn to avoid it stopping.
When the watch is wound the power-reserve indicator
will shift clockwise.
