Winding position

18 | 19

In the winding position (position 0), you can also wind the

automatic movement by hand. The movement will start

after only a few revolutions of the crown. However, it is

better to wind the movement fully with about 30 revo-

lutions of the crown, as maximum accuracy and a power

reserve of about 42 hours will then be assured, even after

taking off the watch.

If a month has fewer than 31 days, you must set the date

by hand to the first day of the following month. Pull the

crown to position 1. You can now set the date by rotating

the crown to the left (quick setting). You should not per-

form quick setting in the period between 20.00 and 2.00,

since the date is moved forwards automatically by the

movement during this period and the change mechanism

could be damaged.
