WINDING CROWN
The winding crown is used to wind the watch
(position 1) and to set the time (position 2).
WINDING
When it is on your wrist, your watch is wound
automatically by your arm movements. When fully
wound and off the wrist, you watch has a power
reserve of at least 43 hours. If your watch stopped
because you set it aside for an extended period of
time, you can wind it manually with about 20 turns
of the crown.
Caution
:
we advise you to wind the watch before
you put it on. This way, you can avoid lateral
pressure on the winding stem which, in the
course of the years, could damage the stem tube.
The same applies to handsetting. Please use your
fingernails to pull the crown out and turn it gently
between two fingertips.
SETTING THE TIME
To set the correct time, proceed as follows:
1. Press the pusher at 2 o’clock repeatedly until the
city name that corresponds to your time zone
is at 12 o’clock.
2.
Pull the crown out slightly and move it clockwise
or counterclockwise until the hour indication
on the ring at the 12 o’clock position coincides
with the local time (in 24 -hour notation) and
the minute hand shows the right time as well.
Push the crown home again.
After this setting, the time and the city on the
24-hour ring indicated by the arrow at 12 o’clock
corresponds to the time displayed by the hands.
Caution:
Please set the time before you put the
watch on. This prevents lateral pressure on the
winding stem. Please use your fingernails to pull
the crown out and turn it gently between two
fingertips.
Never pull out the crown in a humid environment
or underwater: the water resistance of your watch
is assured only when the crown is pushed home.
