If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date manually to the first
day of the following month. Release the screwin crown and pull it out to position 1.
You can now set the date by turning the crown to the left (direct advance). You should
not use the rapidadvance function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the move
ment automatically advances the date during this period.

Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time accu
rately to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes
60. Now move the minute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then
position the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above the
correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand begins to move immediately
when you restart the movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to posi
tion 0. When setting the time, please be aware of the date change, which always takes
place at 12 midnight. If this change has already taken place at 12 noon, you must
move the hands forwards by 12 hours.
Important: Although the watch is waterresistant in positions 0, 1 and 2, the crown
should always be screwed in again for normal use (position X).
