– Now turn the hands forwards to the correct time. If you are setting the watch in the
afternoon, you must turn the hands past 12 (noon) again.

– Now push the crown to position X and secure it by simultaneously turning it to
the right.
Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2, the crown

The dial, the hour, minute and seconds hands, as well as the markings on the internal
rotating bezel of your watch have luminescent elements that allow you to read the time
effortlessly even in total darkness. The two luminescent elements at 12 o'clock serve
as a reference point.
Chronograph seconds hand: The scale for the central chronograph seconds hand
runs around the edge of the dial.
Minute and hour counters: The subdial at 12 o'clock has two hands, which run
continuously and show the elapsed time on a 12-hour and a 60-minute scale. The
hour and minute counters can be read like a standard analogue time display. In other
words, one revolution of the minute counter is equal to 60 minutes, and one revolution
of the hour counter is equal to 12 hours.
