C60 Abyss GMT
Travel has always been an inspiration to watchmakers.
And your C60 Abyss GMT is proof of that.
GMT watches were created in the 1950s to enable long-haul pilots
to monitor their ‘home’ timezone by using a fourth ‘GMT’ hand with
a 24-hour bezel. They’ve been a favourite movement ever since.
But the C60 Abyss GMT is no ordinary GMT. While its four-handed
dial follows the original template, everything about its design is
dierent.
The matte-black and tungsten-brushed bezel is textured and subtle.
The glossy red fourth hand is like a beacon against the monochrome
dial. And the light-catcher case – with its DLC (diamond-like
carbon) and gunmetal elements – is pure mood music for your wrist.
You don’t need us to tell you the appeal of the C60 Abyss GMT –
after all, you’ve bought it – but we can say one thing: you’ve bought
an exceptional and unique timing instrument.

How to operate your C60 Abyss GMT

For a superior water resistance your crown is of the screw-down
type. The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1) in order to
maintain water resistance.
• First unscrew the crown anti-clockwise from the case to position
2for winding in power. Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power
the watch. Your C60 Abyss GMT has a maximum power reserve of
42 hours when fully wound. Normal wearing will allow the rotor to
start re-powering the watch over time after putting on your wrist.
• Pull gently into position 3. For rapid date correction, turn in an
anti-clockwise direction. To set the GMT hand, turn the crown
clockwise and rotate the hand until you have reached the desired
time indication. The GMT hand moves in one-hour increments.
• Pull gently into position 4. This position is used for handsetting
and stopping of the seconds hand. For precise time setting it is
recommended to pass beyond the desired minute and to set the
hand backwards.

PLEASE NOTE:
Date correction should not be carried out between 20.00 hr and
02.00 hr as the watch gearing will already be aligning itself to
change the date. The crown should always be pushed in after
adjustment, and it is best to do so from position 3to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date. You must always ensure the
crown is fully tightened before any use in water.

How to operate your C60 Abyss GMT
Using the GMT hand for travel
Set the time in your new destination by pulling the crown into
position 4and move the hour/ minute hands until they indicate the
desired time.
Push crown into position 3and wind, clockwise, the GMT hand
around the 24-hour scale on the bezel until you have the right time
at home. E.g. If you’re travelling from London at 12.10 to New York,
you would turn the hour/minute hands to 7.10 (New York time is
ve hours behind London) and wind the GMT hand around to the
12.10 position.
Once set, it means that, for example, you can gauge the time to
ring your friends and family without waking them in the middle of
the night.
PLEASE NOTE:
The table opposite can be used to determine the appropriate time
zone when setting the hour/minute hands.
