setting the time
To set the time, pull the crown out to position 2,
and turn it in either direction. When you turn the
hands clockwise beyond midnight, the calendar
displays will advance as well. We advise against
turning the hands counterclockwise across mid-
night because this would desynchronize the cal-
endar displays; however, it would not damage the
calendar mechanism.
Your watch has a stop-seconds mechanism that
halts the seconds hand as soon as you pull the
crown out to position 2. This allows you to syn-
chronize your watch with an acoustic time signal
to one-second accuracy. As soon as you push the
crown home (position 1), the seconds hand will
start running again.
Caution:
Take the watch off to set the time. This prevents
lateral pressure on the winding stem tube. 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 underwa-
ter. The water resistance of your watch is assured only when
the crown is pushed home.
