winding crown
The winding crown is used to wind the watch
(position 1) and to set the time (position 2). If
your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown
(Nautilus model), unscrew the crown completely
before winding.
winding
Your watch incorporates a self-winding move-
ment. The movements of your wrist set a centrifu-
gal mass in motion; this tensions the mainspring
which stores the energy. When you take off your
fully wound watch, it will continue to run at least
38 hours. When it has stopped after depleting the
power reserve, it can be rewound by hand (about
10 clockwise turns of the crown). Please 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.
Your complicated self-winding wristwatch was
presented to you in a case with a winder. If you
do not intend to wear your watch for a longer
period of time, please return it to the case where
the constant motion of the winder will keep it
wound. By using the winder, you can eliminate
the need to reset the calendar when you put on
your watch again.
notes on correcting calendar displays
– Use only the correction stylus delivered with
your watch to press the push pieces. Any other
tool could damage the case.
