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 min­
ute 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).

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.
