With the crown in the normal position (0), you can also wind the automatic movement
by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are enough to start the movement. However, it
is better to wind the watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions
as this will ensure maximum accuracy. The crown must always be in position 0 when
you are wearing your watch.

The date indicator is retrograde, i.e. at the end of the 31st day the hand jumps back to
the first day. If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date manually
to the first day of the following month. Pull out the crown to position 1. You can now
set the date by turning the crown to the left (direct advance). You should not use the
rapid­advance function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the movement automat­
ically advances the date during this period.
