S E T T I N G Y O U R WAT C H C O R R E C T LY
To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:
– Release the crown by turning it to the left.
– Wind the movement (approximately 20 revolutions of the crown).
– Pull out the crown to position 1.
– Turn the crown to the right to advance the date display in steps.
Set the display to yesterday's date.
– Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement.
To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the
movement as the seconds hand passes 60.
– Turn the hands forwards until the date display changes to today's
date. The hands will now be positioned between 12 midnight and
1 a.m.
– Now turn the hands forwards to the current time. If you are
setting the watch in the afternoon, you must turn the hands
past 12 (noon) again. Now move the minute hand a few minute
strokes beyond the time to be set. Then position the minute
hand by moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above
the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand
begins to move immediately when you restart the movement.
