Setting your watch correctly
To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:
• Release the crown by turning it to the left.
• Wind the movement (approximately 20 revolutions of
the crown).
• Pull out the crown to position 1.
• 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 positioned be-
tween 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.
