C60 Anthropocene GMT
Every watch says something beyond telling the time.
And your C60 Anthropocene GMT is no exception.
Inspired by Christopher Ward Challenger, Tom Hicks, the
C60 Anthropocene GMT is both a robust timing instrument –
and a reminder of the fragility of the planet we live on.
Water-resistance to 600m. A Light-catcher™case that sits snug on the
wrist. A frosted sapphire dial that recalls the look of Arctic pack ice.
And power from the exceptional Sellita SW330-2 GMT movement that
not only lets you monitor two time zones at once but also gives you a
56-hour power reserve.
The C60 Anthropocene GMT – ‘Anthropocene’ is the name of the era
in which humans have aected the environment – won’t solve the
climate crisis on its own. But take comfort that you’re supporting
those who are trying to reverse the damage our species has done,
one precisely measured tick at a time.

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 Anthropocene GMT has a maximum power
reserve of up to 56 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 Anthropocene 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.

Water resistance
How to operate your C60 Anthropocene GMT
Although your watch has been through vigorous static pressure
testing, it is worth remembering that there are many variables
that can aect the water resistance of your watch. For instance,
arm movements during swimming and the sudden impact of
diving and water sports will drastically increase the pressure the
watch is under.
Wearing your watch in the bath, shower, or sauna can also have
an eect as a rapid increase in temperature can cause seals to
expand and in extreme cases, malfunction or create condensation.
For these reasons, the water resistance rating of your watch
(as shown) should only ever be considered a guideline and we
strongly recommend they are always adhered to.
