C11 MSL MK I
C11 MSL COLLECTION
The clean image of a modern jet’s altimeter
has been the primary inspiration for the
C11 MSL Collection. The result is one of
the most attractive conversions from an
altimeter to a wristwatch.
Both the automatic and chronograph versions
are based on a completely new case design
that places a circular dial in a case which has its
facets smoothed off and decorated with vertical
brushing. Four screws suggest the dials original
location on a cockpit's instrument panel.
The chronograph version of the C11 MSL gains
split-second and stop watch functionality
but loses none of the striking boldness and
sharp clarity of the automatic version.

The C11 MSL Automatic has a maximum
power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound.
To re-power the watch after a period of non-
use, simply wind the crown in approximately
(a minimum) of 20 revolutions. Normal wearing
will very quickly allow the rotor to start re-
powering the watch over time after putting it
on your wrist.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING THE TIME/DATE
• Position
1
is for winding in power. Wind in
a clockwise direction to re-power the watch.
• Pull gently into position
2
. For rapid date
correction, turn in a clockwise direction.
• Pull gently into position
3
. This position is
used for handsetting, and stopping of the
second hand. For precise time setting it is
recommended to pass beyond the desired
minute and to set the hand backwards.
PLEASE NOTE: The date cannot be changed during
the date changing phase between 21.00 hrs and
02.00 hrs as the watch gearing will already be
aligning itself to change the date. The crown should
always be screwed in after adjustment, and it is
best to do so from position
3
to avoid advancing
beyond the desired date.
