Time Setting - iwc PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE Operating Instructions Manual

TIME SETTING

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 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) to ensure the stability of the seal and
to protect the winding mechanism.
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).
