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 move-
ment 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 move-
ment. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to position 0.
Moving the hands forwards past midnight causes the calendar to
switch to the following day. When advancing the calendar, you
can follow and observe the automatic switching sequence.
Important:
– Under no circumstances must the hands be turned back
between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. as this will result in maladjustment
of the calendar.
– The hands must never be turned anticlockwise beyond 3 a.m.
– The watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2 as long as
the crown is not moved. The crown should generally always be
screwed in for normal use to ensure the stability of the seal and
to protect the winding mechanism.
