Setting the time
Unscrew the crown before use.
When the crown selection indicator is in
position
H
, you can set your watch by moving
its hands forward or backward without risk of
damage to the mechanism.
Carefully screw the crown back to position
N
to
ensure water resistance.
Crown position indicator
Your watch features a hand indicating the position
of the crown.
The crown starts out in
Neutral (
N
)
position. It is screwed in and the watch
is running normally.
Unscrew the crown. Then :
Pull the crown into Position
R
: the
crown position indicator hand will
move into the
Rewinding position.
This is the proper position for
rewinding your watch.
Pull the crown into Position
H
: the
crown position indicator hand will
move into the
Time-setting position.
This is the proper position for setting
the time.
Push the crown into Position
N
: the
crown position indicator hand will
move into the
Neutral position. This
will disconnect the crown.
To ensure that your watch will run properly,
the crown must be returned to
Neutral (
N
)
position once the proper adjustments have been
completed. You must also screw the crown back in
to ensure the watch's water resistance.
Winding the watch
Unscrew the crown before use. To rewind the
watch, make sure that the selection indicator hand
is in position
R
.
The simplest method is to rewind the watch
completely every 7 days (do not allow more than
9 days to elapse) by turning the crown clockwise.
This will prevent the watch from stopping on the
last day.
The crown is fitted with a disconnecting-gear
system to protect the mechanism against damage
to the barrel blocking system.
Carefully screw the crown back to position
N
to
ensure water resistance.
