2. WINDING – SETTINGS
2.1 GENERAL POINTS
Your watch oers one waterproofness assured until 50
m (5 bar) of depth. It has an automatic mechanical move-
ment, for which the winding, rapid date correction and
timesetting operations are performed by means of the
3-position crown 5which has 3 positions:
ARest and manual winding position
BRapid date correction position
CTime-setting position with stop seconds and
date change at midnight
NOTES
Once the setting is complete, always push the
crown back in against the case to safeguard the
watch's water resistance. Never operate the crown
underwater or when it is still wet.
2.2 WINDING
CROWN 5IN REST POSITION A
Your watch has an automatic mechanical movement
which is wound by the motion of your wrist when you
are wearing the watch. It is therefore not normally neces-
sary to manually wind the watch. However, if your watch
should stop, simply turn the crown 5through a few turns
clockwise to restart it. When fully wound, your watch has
a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.

NOTE
There is no end of winding stop. A protective
mechanism prevents excessive winding of the
movement.
2.3 SETTING THE TIME
CROWN 5PULLED OUT TO POSITION C
To set the time, pull the crown 5out two notches to posi-
tion C. Turn it in either direction to position the hands
to the desired time. When the hour hand passes the
12 o'clock position, you will see whether it is indicating
midnight (the date changes) or midday (the date does
not change). Check that the date set previously has not
changed. Once the setting is complete, push the crown
back in against the case to the rest position A. The hands
will restart.
NOTE
For a time setting accurate to the second, we
recommend pulling the crown out to position C
when the central seconds hand 3is at precisely 12
o'clock, and pushing it back in to synchronise with
an ocial time signal.

2.4 RAPID DATE CORRECTION
CROWN 5 PULLED OUT TO POSITION B
Pull the crown 5out one notch to position B. Turn it
clockwise until the correct date appears in the window 4.
Then push the crown 5back in against the case to the
rest position A.
NOTE
During this operation your watch continues to run
normally, hence the time does not need to be
corrected.
IMPORTANT
Never correct the date between 8:00 p.m. and 2:00
a.m. The movement is in the date change process,
and could be damaged.

2. WINDING – SETTINGS
2.1 GENERAL POINTS
Your watch oers one waterproofness assured until 30 m
(3 bar) of depth. It is equipped with an electronic quartz
movement providing extreme accuracy and reliability.
It is powered by a battery, and so does not need to be
wound. The battery life is approximately two years under
normal conditions of use. The rapid date correction and
time-setting operations on your watch are performed by
means of the 3-position crown 6:
ARest position
BRapid date correction position
CLocal time-setting position with stop seconds
and date change at midnight
NOTES
Once the setting is complete, always push the
crown back in against the case to safeguard the
watch's water resistance. Never operate the crown
underwater or when it is still wet. To save the battery if
your watch is going to be out of use for a long period,
we advise pulling the crown out to position B , which
has the eect of stopping the movement.

IMPORTANT ADVICE
WATER RESISTANCE
The waterproofness of your watch is assured according
to specification quoted in the paragraph 2.1 majorities.
Nevertheless, it is important to understand that repea-
ted handling of the case, ageing of the sealing compo-
nents and high temperature variations (e.g. from hot
sun to cold water) may get the better of the most water-
resistant case.
Since water and moisture infiltration may lead to costly
repairs, you are strongly advised to have your watch's
water resistance checked regularly by an Eterna autho-
rised retailer or an approved Eterna general agent.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your watch was manufactured with the utmost care.
Observing the recommendations below will help
preserve its rate accuracy and as-new appearance for as
long as possible.
If your watch is equipped with a leather strap, we
recommend avoiding any contact with water, to
optimise the leather’s longevity. We also recommend
cleaning your watch regularly using a damp soft cloth.
After bathing in seawater, rinse the watch in fresh water
and leave it to dry out completely.
Avoid leaving your watch in places exposed to high
variations in temperature or humidity, extreme
temperatures, bright sunlight or strong magnetic
fields. Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents,
perfumes, cosmetics, etc. They may damage the wristlet,
case or gaskets. Avoid thermal shocks, or impacts: they
could damage your watch. In case of violent impact,
please have your watch checked by an Eterna authorised
retailer or an approved Eterna general agent.
ENGLISH

SERVICING
It is advisable to have your watch overhauled and fully
cleaned at least once every 4 years, and in particular to
have the movement overhauled, since its operation may
be disrupted due to ageing of the oil and grease.
To ensure irreproachable maintenance service and
safeguard the warranty validity, always entrust your
watch to an Eterna authorised retailer or an approved
Eterna general agent.
For any questions, please contact your Eterna authorised
retailer or the Eterna general agent for your country. You
can find the addresses and a host of information on our
website: www.eterna.com
