Introduction
We congratulate you on the acquisition of your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, and
thank you for your condence.
We invite you to consult the operating instructions and hope your Jaeger-
LeCoultre timepiece brings you great enjoyment.
Accuracy
Mechanical manually-wound or automatic watches
The precision of watch models with mechanical movements is determined by
the balance.The latter oscillates at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Despite
all the care that the master-watchmakers of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre
have lavished on building and assembling your watch, its accuracy is subject to
the inuence of gravity, magnetic elds, impacts, as well as ageing of the oils.The
precision of a watch is measured by its regularity of rate in various positions.
Your individual temperament and your activities may result in slight irregularities.
If you observe a discrepancy in the running of your watch, we advise you to
entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer who will perform the neces-
sary adjustments.
Water resistance
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water-resistant to 5 bar. The water resistance of
your watch is identiable by a symbol engraved on the back.This means
that your timepiece has been tested at an immersion pressure corresponding to
50 metres, according to the number of atmospheres appearing next to the above-
mentioned symbol (1 bar = approx. 10 metres).
You may use your watch during short swims and when jumping in from the edge of
a swimming pool,but not from a diving board.Your watch must not be used for scuba
diving, nor for sports involving signicant risk of impact, such as windsurng or water-
skiing.Also note that leather straps are not suited to aquatic activities.
It is vital to have the water resistance of your watch checked by an authorised Jaeger-
LeCoultre retailer before any period during which it is liable to undergo prolonged
and/or regular immersions.

“1000 Hours Control” test
Jaeger-LeCoultre submits all its watches to the stringent “1000 Hours Control”,
a unique battery of comprehensive and rigorous tests lasting a full 1000 hours.
The“1000 Hours Control”seal or legend placed or engraved on the back of your
watch certies that the latter has undergone this programme of observation in
our laboratories and has successfully passed all the tests relating to regularity
of rate, temperature, atmospheric pressure, resistance to shocks and magnetic
elds, as well as water-resistance trials.Your watch is thus capable of withstanding
the daily stresses and strains that await it when worn on your wrist.
The criteria of the “1000 Hours Control” programme considerably exceed the stand-
ards of ofcial timing tests, which deal only with part of the movement.
Jaeger-LeCoultre tests not only the movement prior to its being cased up in the
watch, but also the watch as a whole.

Use
Starting the watch
Pull crown B out to position 1.
A few clockwise turns of the crown are enough to set the watch running.
It will then automatically wind up when you wear it. Please note that the crown
does not lock when winding, even when the watch is fully wound.
Setting the date
Pull crown A out to position 2.
This timepiece features a date display window at 3 o’clock and a rapid correc-
tion system. If you have to move the date one day forward, turn crown A (in
position 2) clockwise.
Repeat the operation until the desired date is displayed. For months with less
than 31 days, repeat this process to reach the 1st of the following month. Once
the operation is complete, push crown A back into position 1.
After setting the date, move the hands forward to the desired time – via
12 o’clock if it is after noon.

Setting the hours and minutes
Pull crown B out to position 2.
The movement will be stopped.This will in turn stop the seconds hand.Move the
hands clockwise until the desired time is displayed.
Once the operation is complete, push the crown back into position 1.The watch
will start running again.
Setting the alarm
Winding
Crown A in position 1.
The alarm is wound by turning the crown clockwise.When winding is complete,
the crown is locked.
Setting the alarm time
Pull crown A out to position 2.
This function enables you to adjust the alarm’s mobile disc by turning the crown
anti-clockwise to position the triangular mark situated in the centre of the dial
opposite the desired alarm time.
Once the operation is complete, push crown A back into position 1.
Starting and stopping the alarm
The alarm is activated when crown A is in position 1. It is stopped when the
crown is in position 2.
The alarm can be stopped at any time by pulling out crown A. However, note that
it is essential to push the crown back into position 1 to ensure water-resistance.
