Your watch has a stop-seconds mechanism that halts
the second hand as soon as you pull the crown out
to position 2. This allows you to synchronize your
watch with an acoustic time signal to one-second
accuracy. As soon as you push the crown home (posi-
tion 1), the second hand will start running again.
ANNUAL CALENDAR
The Annual Calendar indicates the day of the week,
the month, and the date, automatically taking into
account months with 30 and 31 days. If the watch
is worn daily, the date only needs to be corrected
on March 1 (forward by 3 days in non-leap years,
and by 2 days in leap years). A calendar correction
may also be necessary if the watch was set aside for
a longer period of time and stopped running. If the
hands are moved clockwise beyond midnight, the
calendar displays will advance by one day.
WINDING CROWN
The winding crown is used to manually wind the
watch (position 1) and to set the time (position 2).
WINDING
Your watch incorporates a self-winding movement.
The movements of your wrist set a centrifugal mass
in motion; this tensions the mainspring, which stores
the energy. When you take off your fully wound
watch, it will continue to run for at least 38 hours.
When it has stopped after depleting the power
reserve, it can be rewound by hand (about 10 clock-
wise turns of the crown).
SETTING THE TIME
To set the time, gently pull the crown all the way
out and move the hands in either direction. Once
you have set the correct time, push the crown home
again. When you turn the hands clockwise beyond
midnight, the calendar displays will advance as
well. We advise against turning the hands coun-
terclockwise across midnight because this would
desynchronize the calendar displays; however, it
would not damage the calendar mechanism.
