THE CROWN HAS THREE DISTINCT POSITIONS:
Position A, crown in manual-winding position.
Position B, crown pulled out to fast date-adjustment position
Position C, crown pulled out to time-setting position, enabling adjustment of the
hours and minutes and automatically stopping the seconds hand.
Push the crown back in to position A once the time has been set.
FAST CALENDAR ADJUSTMENTS:
Under-lug correctors 1 and 2 serve to adjust the complete calendar and may be
activated using a finger.
1. To adjust the day: corrector 2, located at 10 o’clock
2. To adjust the week: corrector 1, located at 2 o’clock
IMPORTANT
It is inadvisable to perform fast corrections between 10pm and 0.30am.
While such an operation would not cause any damage, it could compromise
the accuracy of the indications.
Some years, such as 2020 and 2026, comprise 53 weeks according to official
calendars.

TRIPLE-BLADE FOLDING CLASP (WITH PRONG)
Only Blancpain straps 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.
OPENING
To open the fastening, place one finger on each side of the clasp and pull it upwards
(Fig. 1). Proceed in the same manner to open the other blade (Fig. 2).
CLOSING
Slip your Blancpain watch on your wrist and close the folding blades as indicated on
figures 3 and 4.

ADJUSTING THE STRAP:
Slide the section of the strap into the clasp and insert the prong into the desired hole
(Fig. 5). Move the prong to another hole if necessary.

IMPORTANT
Please do not pull the end of the strap upward to open the fastening as the
prong might come completely out of the hole, meaning the watch would
no longer be held and might fall.
