INTRODUCTION
We would like to thank you for the confi-
dence you have placed in Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Our Maison has applied all its expertise and
exacting standards to the creation of this
model.
We invite you to consult the operating in-
structions and hope your Jaeger-LeCoultre
timepiece brings you great joy.
ACCURACY AND
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
MANUALLY-WOUND OR AUTOMATIC
MECHANICAL WATCHES
The accuracy of watch models with me-
chanical movements is determined by
the balance wheel. This oscillates at a rate
of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Despite
all the care that the master watchmak-
ers of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture
have lavished on building and assembling
your watch, its accuracy is subject to the

22
influence of gravity, magnetic fields, acci-
dental impacts, and the aging of the oils.
The accuracy of a watch is measured by
its regularity of rate in various positions.
Your individual activities could be the
cause of slight irregularities in the work-
ing of your timepiece. If you observe a
discrepancy in the way your watch runs,
we advise you to entrust it to an author-
ized Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer who will
make the necessary adjustments. Watches
with mechanical movements must not be
used for sports involving a significant risk
of impact or abrupt actions, such as golf
or tennis.
WATER RESISTANCE
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water-
resistant to 3 bar. Its water resistance can
be identified by the symbol and/or
the engraving: “3 bar” on the caseback.
This means that your model has been
tested at an overpressure of 3 bar, cor-

23
ENGLISH
responding to an immersion pressure of
30 meters (1 bar = ±10 meters).
In accordance with the ISO 22810/NIHS
92-20 standard, in order to guarantee the
durability of the watch’s characteristics
over time, and as water resistance may be
aected by certain activities, it is recom-
mended that you:
- have the watch’s water resistance
checked by an authorized Jaeger-
LeCoultre retailer at least once every two
years. It is essential to have such a check
carried out each time your watch is
opened, and before any period in which
it is liable to undergo prolonged and/or
regular immersions.
- check when making the purchase that
the bracelet is suitable for the intended
use.
- avoid subjecting the watch to excessive-
ly abrupt temperature changes.
- protect the watch from being dropped
or suering other accidental impacts,

24
and have the water resistance checked
after any severe impact.
- avoid using the controls, push-piece, or
time-setting crown while under water or
outside the water, if the watch is not yet
dry after immersion.
- restore the time-setting crown and the
push-pieces to their normal positions, or
where applicable, close the compression
keys after every manipulation.
- rinse the watch with fresh water after use
in sea water.
You may use your watch while swimming
as long as you do not exceed the immer-
sion pressure and do not engage in any
water sports that could cause impacts.
This watch is not a piece of diving equip-
ment and should not be used as such.
Also, note that leather straps are not suit-
ed for aquatic activities.

ENGLISH
“1000 HOURS CONTROL”
TEST
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture pays
close attention to the quality and final
checks of its watches.
The 1000 Hours Control is a series of in-
ternal qualification tests for each of the
models in our collection, as well as inter-
nal tests on the production of your watch,
which go beyond ocial timing tests.
These tests include checking the move-
ment before and after being cased up
in the watch and cover the whole watch
once it has been assembled, in the condi-
tions closest to daily wear.
The “1000 Hours Control” legend or the
“ ” seal engraved on the back of the
watch certifies that each of the models
from our collection has successfully under-
gone all of the qualification tests and that
your watch has successfully undergone
all of the production tests. These ensure
regularity of rate, resistance to variations

26
in temperature and atmospheric pressure,
ability to withstand shocks and magnetic
fields, as well as water resistance.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LEATHER STRAPS
1. Keep the leather strap in a dry place
2.Avoid contact with water, cosmetics,
perfumes, alcohol, and oily materials
3.To prevent leather from discoloring,
avoid wearing the watch:
- in a very humid environment
- during sporting activities: sweat
damages the leather
- in prolonged exposure to sunlight
4.Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not dry in
direct sunlight or near heat sources

STARTING AND WINDING
Crown in position 0.

28
The watch is wound by turning the crown
clockwise. It is fully wound when the crown
locks.
Do not attempt to wind a manually-wound
watch beyond the locking point.
To ensure good operating accuracy, it is
advisable to wind your watch regularly, at
least once a day.
SETTING THE HOUR AND MINUTES
Pull the crown out to position 1 (maximum
position).
Move the hands clockwise until the de-
sired time is displayed.
With the time being identical and syn-
chronized on both dials, you can make
adjustments on either of the two faces.
When the operation is complete, push the
crown back to position 0.
After using the crown to set the time, we
recommend waiting 1 minute before ac-
tivating the chronograph, to avoid even
the slightest misalignment between the
Front and Back Minute hands.

29
ENGLISH
OPERATING THE CHRONOGRAPH
The central seconds hand of your watch
displays the chronograph seconds to the
nearest quarter of a second.
The retrograde counter at 6 o’clock counts
the minutes up to 30 minutes.
- Push-piece at 2 o’clock: this push-piece
starts and stops the chronograph func-
tion.
- Push-piece at 4 o’clock: This push-piece
resets the 30-minute counter and the
central seconds hand.
Note: When timing is in progress, reset-
ting is not possible. This push-piece is
locked and forcing it may harm the mech-
anism’s functioning.
To safely reset the chronograph, timing
must be stopped first using the push-
piece at 2 o’clock.
TIMING
- The chronograph is activated by press-
ing the push-piece at 2 o’clock once.

30
The central seconds hand will turn, and
the minute counter will run. Pressing
the push-piece at 2 o’clock again will
stop the chronograph, enabling the time
measurement to be read.
- Reset by pressing the push-piece at 4
o’clock to be ready to perform another
time measurement.
- It is possible to add up several timing op-
erations by pressing on the push-piece at
2 o’clock again (without having to reset
the counter). Timing starts again and is
added to the previous measurement.
