This watch has a screw­in crown. Screwing the crown in to its
normal position (X) prevents the inadvertent adjustment of the
time or date and also acts as a double seal to prevent water from
seeping into the case. To release the crown, unscrew it by turning
it to the left, where it automatically assumes position 0, the winding
position. By depressing the crown in position X and turning it to
the right at the same time, it is screwed down firmly again and
secured.

With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also wind the
automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are
enough to start the movement. However, it is better to wind the
watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions
as this will ensure maximum accuracy.
DAT E A N D DAY S E T T I N G
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 right, and the day by turning it
to the left (direct advance). You should not use the rapid­advance
function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the movement auto­
matically advances the date during this period and the change
mechanism could be damaged.
