FUNCTIONS OF THE CROWN
A –NORMAL POSITION
B –DATE SETTING
C –TIME SETTING
DATE SETTING (POSITION B)
This functions enables you to set the date displayed by the watch rapidly,
without changing the time, using only the crown.
How to use:
•Pull the crown out to position B.
•Turn the crown clockwise until the desired date appears in the window.
•Press the crown in completely against the case.
It is strongly recommended not to make this correction between 9 pm and 1

damage the mechanism. If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set
the date manually to the first day of the following month.

TIME SETTING (POSITION C)
This function enables you to set the time of your watch using the crown.
When performing this operation, make sure that the calendar date change

time button (10) is pressed while the watch is running, the display freezes,
allowing the elapsed time to that point to be read, but the watch mechanism
continues running to record total elapsed time. Pressing the split button (10) a
second time allows the watch to resume display and catch up to the ongoing
elapsed time.

push-button (10) again, the chronograph hands resume and catch up to the
ongoing elapsed time.
When the event ends, press push-piece (9), the hand will stop and display the
exact elapsed time.
Press push-button (10) - the second and minute hands will reset. Measurement
and release of the split time can be repeated as many times as necessary by
pressing button 10.
