ADJUSTMENTS FOR
MECHANICAL SELF-WINDING
MOVEMENTS
Your watch houses a mechanical self-
winding movement. Your wrist movements
thus become the key factor in rewinding
your watch. When the latter is fully wound,
it has a power reserve of between 40 and
60 hours, depending on the model. If the
watch has stopped, wind it manually before
wearing it, by making clockwise rotations
of the crown (position 1).
TO USE THE FUNCTIONS OF YOUR WATCH,
KINDLY REFER TO PAGE 17.
THE DIAGRAM OF YOUR WATCH APPEARS
ON PAGE 20.
Crown in position 1 –
normal running and manual winding
Your watch runs normally when the crown
is in position 1. Be careful to ensure it is
always pushed right back against the case
in order to guarantee its water resistance.
Crown in position 2 –
fast date adjustment
To adjust the date, pull the crown out
to position 2 and turn it to the required
number. Then push the crown back in to
position 1. Since the date change occurs
at midnight, be careful to distinguish mid-
night from midday. At the end of months
with 28, 29 or 30 days, proceed to a
manual adjustment, as indicated above.
Note: for models without a date display,
time-setting is done in position 2.
Crown in position 3 –
setting the time
To set the time, pull out or unscrew the
crown to position 3 and turn it to the
desired time. When the crown is in this
position, the watch is out of operation.
This " stop seconds " device enables you
to adjust the time to the nearest second.
Then push or screw back the crown to
position 1.
REMARKS AND WARNINGS
– Some models are equipped with
a screw-lock crown. Before mak-
ing any adjustments or any manual
winding, unscrew the crown in a counter-
clockwise direction.
– After each new operation, the crown
must at all costs be pushed or screwed
(depending on the model) right back in
against the case in order to guarantee
the watch's water resistance.
– These operations must not under any
circumstances be performed in water,
since this might damage the movement.
– Since the mechanism is not entirely
operational between 8 pm and 2 am, it is
preferable not to make any adjustments
of the date during this period of time.
