THE CROWN HAS TWO DISTINCT POSITIONS:
Position A, crown in manual-winding position.
Position B, crown pulled out to time-setting position, enabling adjustment of the
hours and minutes.The carrousel cage takes one minute to turn; so the seconds can be
determined around the perimeter of the aperture revealing the carrousel.
The time-setting must be done in a clockwise direction in order to ensure that the
indications respectively given by the hands and the striking mechanism agree.
When the time is set in a counter-clockwise direction, bring the hands back to the
correct time, then turn them one more hour backwards, before finally returning to the
desired time. This manoeuvre is necessary in order to avoid a discrepancy between the
indication given by the minutes hand and that given by the striking mechanism due to
the gearing of the time-setting system.
Push the crown back in to position A after the adjustment.
MINUTE REPEATER WINDING LEVER :
• push the winding lever towards the 12 o’clock position and your watch will strike
hours, quarter-hours and minutes;
• the winding lever travel will change depending on the hour shown.
IMPORTANT
So as to protect the movement and avoid breaking any parts during
chiming, a disconnecting lever serves to keep the parts in place if the
hands are moved while the watch is striking.
It is also important to await the end of the striking and above all the
complete unwinding of the striking-mechanism gear train before
reactuating the winding lever.
This model is not water-resistant.

TRIPLE-BLADE SAFETY FOLDING CLASP
Only Blancpain wristbands specially designed for this folding clasp should be used.
For your safety and comfort, we advise you to have your new clasp fitted by an
authorised Blancpain retailer. You can always then adjust the length of the wristband
yourself using the dedicated Blancpain tool supplied with your watch.
Opening:
To open the clasp, press the side pushers while raising the cover (Fig.1). Pull upwards
to open the 2nd blade (Fig. 2).
Closing:
Slip the watch on your wrist. Replace the upper (12 o’clock) wristband section in position
and press down with your thumb until it closes (Fig. 3). Proceed in the same way with the
lower (6 o’clock) wristband section (Fig. 4).
