INDING THE WATCH
1. Raise the lever of the device protecting the winding crown (A) and, keeping
the winding crown (B) in the initial position, that is, without pulling it out
(position 0), turn it clockwise so that the power reserve indicator (H) on the
back reaches the fully-wound position indicated by the number 6.
2. Close the lever of the device protecting the winding crown (A).
S
ETTING THE TIME
1. Raise the lever of the device protecting the winding crown (A) and pull out
the winding crown (B) to the second click (position 2).
2. Ensure that the hour hand of local time (C) is superimposed on the hand of
the second time zone (E). If this is not the case, return the winding crown
(B) to the first click (position 1). In this position the hour hand (C) can be
moved in clicks of one hour. Make the hour hand (C) coincide with that of
the second time zone (E). Then return it to position 2 to complete the
operation of setting the time.
3. Set the correct time. Check the hand (F), so as to set the time before or after

HE FUNCTION
The GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) system, also known as universal time and
adopted throughout the world, divides the terrestrial globe into 24 one-hour
sections (time zones), each equivalent to 15° of longitude. The Greenwich
meridian was taken as the fundamental reference meridian for the localisation
of time zones by the international conferences held in Rome in 1883 and in
H
Washington in 1884.
Starting from meridian zero (or Greenwich meridian), 24 time zones have been
defined, from 0 to +12 towards the east, and from 0 to -12 towards the west.
The zero meridian has a very important function for sailors: the time at
Greenwich is the reference for the calculations which enable the longitude at
sea to be determined, and thus the establishment of the ship's exact position.
The GMT function enables the local time and the time in another country
(home time) to be read at the same time.

ETTING THE SECOND TIME ZONE
1. Raise the lever of the device protecting the winding crown (A) and pull out
the winding crown (B) to the first click (position 1).
2. Set the required time. The hour hand (C) will move at intervals of one hour
and will indicate the local time, that is, the time in the place where it is
located at that moment.
3. The hand of the second time zone (E) will indicate the home time, that is,
the time in the country of origin. This hand moves at the same rate as the
local time hand (C), carrying out a complete revolution in 12 hours. At the
3 o'clock position a further hand (F) displays the GMT time divided into 24
hours, to avoid possible confusion between morning and afternoon.
