First use
THE WATCH IS DELIVERED IN "ENERGY SAVING"
MODE The watch hands are factory-set to 12 o'clock,
and the crown is held in position 2 by a black clip
placed around the winding stem. This part must
be removed before first using the watch. Check
with your retailer that this operation has been
performed. If not, follow the procedure below:
Remove the black clip to release the crown.
Push the crown back into position 1; the watch is
automatically set to the Swiss time and date. You
can then set the local time (refer to the "time-setting"
section).

IMPORTANT
If the crown is pulled out to position 2 for more than
60 seconds, the watch will automatically revert to
"energy saving" mode, and the hands will return to
12 o'clock.
Time-setting
Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown
either way to the desired time display. ROTATE THE
CROWN SLOWLY to set minute by minute – the
second hand will automatically return to 12 o'clock.
ROTATE THE CROWN QUICKLY to set hour by hour
– the hand will move one hour forward or backward.
As soon as the time is synchronised, push the crown
back into position 1.

Date correction
Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown
quickly either way, to move the hour hand forward
or backward in successive one-hour steps, without
affecting the minute and seconds displays.
When the hour hand passes midnight, the calendar
will automatically display a new date - either the next
day or the previous day, depending on the direction
of correction. Hence there is a limit of +/- 1 day, so
as not to disrupt the perpetual calendar. Push the
crown back into position 1.
End of life (E.O.L.) and end of
energy (E.O.E.)
The watch indicates that the battery is reaching

its end of life via one of its hands jumping every
5 seconds.
After approximately six months in this mode, the
watch will switch to E.O.E. mode: the hands will stop
at 12 o'clock.
If the watch battery is replaced in E.O.L. mode or
within six months of switching to E.O.E. mode, you
will not need to adjust the perpetual calendar. If
however the battery is replaced after this period,
an approved watchmaker will need to program the
perpetual calendar.
