Setting instructions
Winding and setting the time:
The winding and time-setting crown (I) has two positions A and B.
A: Against the case, winding position.
This is the normal position when the watch is worn and ensures the
best possible water-resistance.
If the watch has not been worn for some time, wind it by turning the
winding and time-setting crown (I) through a few rotations. There is
no need to fully wind a watch which is going to be worn. The winding
and time-setting crown (I) does not lock when the movement is
fully wound; there is therefore no risk of damage to the mechanism.
B: Time setting position.
When the winding and time-setting crown (I) is pulled out to this
position, the watch stops. To set the precise time, pull the winding
and time-setting crown (I) out to position B at the moment when
the seconds hand (3) points to 12 o'clock and then turn until the
hour and minute hands (1 and 2) indicate the desired time. Now push
the winding and time-setting crown (I) back to position A to restart
the watch.
