IWC Schaffhausen SPITFIRE 3879 Mode D'emploi page 14

TIME SET TING
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 back-
wards 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 water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2, the crown should always
be screwed in again for normal use (position X) to ensure the stability of the seal and to protect the
winding mechanism.

– Turn the crown to the right to advance the date display in steps. Set the display to yesterday's date.
– Turn the crown to the left to advance the day display in steps. Set the display to yesterday's day.
– 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
pos itioned 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.
– Push the crown back into position 0 to start the movement.
– Now push the crown into position X and secure it by simultan eously turning it to the right.
Important: The watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2 as long as the crown is not moved.
The crown should generally always be screwed in for normal use to ensure the stability of the seal
and to protect the winding mechanism.
