of the month you do not quick­set the calendar but move the
date forward to the first day of the following month using the
time setting only.
– Turning the crown too quickly when setting the calendar might
result in a faulty advance and the desynchronization of the indi-
vidual calendar displays (e.g. month, date and day). In such
a case, the movement needs to be reset by an IWC watch-
maker.
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. 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. Moving the hands forwards past midnight causes
the calendar to switch to the following day. When advancing the
calendar, you can follow and observe the automatic switching
sequence.
