WINDING The movement can be wound by turning the crown when it is in position 1. We suggest that you wind your watch every 90 hours at the latest to provide it with the power it requires to operate for the next 90 hours. This is how you will keep your watch in a state of constant and accurate operation.

SETTING Time: To set the time (hours and minutes hands), pull the crown to position 2 and turn it in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. Note: do not forget to push the crown back to its winding position 1 when you have set it, to guarantee the water- resistance of your watch.

WATER-RESISTANCE Your watch is guaranteed to be water-resistant to 3 ATM. This means that it has been verified at a pressure equivalent to immersion at 30 metres. It has been designed to be water-resistant for swimming only and should not be used for deep-sea diving, diving or sports that have a high risk of major shocks, such as windsurfing or waterskiing.
MAINTENANCE Your watch has a mechanical movement which requires cares and adequate maintenance. It should be kept from violent shocks. The movement in your watch must be serviced at regular intervals because oils change viscosity over time, and this impedes its smooth operation and speeds up wear and tear.
