Resetting the counters
Changing the time zone and the date
Unscrew the crown if necessary.
Pull it out to the intermediate position 2. The hour hand will make
one-hour jumps, enabling quick time zone adjustments. Turning the
crown through 24 hours will cause a date change. The crown can
be turned either way. Then push the crown fully back in again (pos.
1), and screw in.
Time setting and corrections
Minute and seconds adjustment
Unscrew the crown if necessary. Pull the crown out to its furthest
position 3; the 3 counter hands will move to 12 o'clock. Turn the
crown to correct the hour and minute hands. Turn the crown either
way to correct the minute. When the crown has been pulled out to
its furthest position, the movement seconds hand will be immobile. If
the crown is pulled out when the movement seconds hand is pointing
to the zero position, press the crown at the time signal to enable an
accurate seconds correction.
Then push the crown fully back in again (pos. 1), and screw it in.
