Setting your watch correctly
Set your watch correctly as follows:
Wind the movement until it is fully wound.
•
Pull the crown to position 2 and set the hands forwards to about 4.40.
•
This will ensure that the calendar mechanism is outside the automatic
change phase, and that you can see the calendar displays clearly at the
same time.
Push the crown to position 0 and then pull the crown back to position 1.
•
Rotate the crown slowly forwards. The calendar will now advance in
•
steps. Set yesterday's date, also making sure that the month and year
are correct.
Pull the crown to position 2, which will stop the time display.
•
Turn the hands forwards until the date indicator changes to today's date.
•
The hands are now between 0.00 and 1.00.
Now set the hands by moving them forwards to the precise time; in the
•
afternoon, the hands must be turned past 12.00 (noon) once again. Push
the crown back to position 0 to start the watch movement.
The entire calendar is now correctly set, completely and automatically.
There is no need for you to know whether you are in a leap year or the cur-
rent phase of the moon. You do not even need to set the day of the week.
This simplified setting is very convenient, particularly if you have not worn
your IWC watch for a few days.
