If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date manually to the first
day of the following month. Release the screw­in crown and pull it out to position 1.
You can now set the date by turning the crown to the left (rapid advance). You should
not use the rapid­advance function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the move­
ment automatically advances the date during this period.

Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time accurate­
ly to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60. 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. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to position 0.
When setting the time, please be aware of the date change, which always takes place
at 12 midnight. If this change has already taken place at 12 noon, you must move the
hands forwards by 12 hours.
Important: Although the watch is water­resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2, the crown
should always be screwed in again for normal use (position X).
