Introduction
We congratulate you on the acquisition of your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, and
thank you for your confidence.
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 21,600 or 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 influence of gravity, magnetic fields, 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 were to observe a discrepancy in the running of your watch, we advise
you to entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailers who will perform
the necessary adjustments.
Water resistance
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water-resistant to 3 atm. The water resistance
of your watch is identifiable by a symbol engraved on the back.This
means that your timepiece has been tested at an immersion pressure corre-
sponding to 30 metres, according to the number of atmospheres appearing next
to the above-mentioned symbol (1 atm = 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 significant risk of impact, such
as windsurfing 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 certifies 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
fields, 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
standards of official 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.
Adjusting the bracelet
You can adjust your steel bracelet yourself. However, if you have a gold model,
we advise you to entrust it to the nearest approved Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer,
or to contact one of our official Service Centres listed at the end of this user
manual.
Adjusting the steel bracelet
Place the watch on your wrist. You can thus see how many links need to be
added or removed.
Remove your watch by simultaneously pressing the push-pieces on either side
of the clasp.
Hold the bracelet near the clasp. Using the adjustment tool, press the end of
the bar (fig. 1) and lift up the link (fig. 2). Avoid the 2 links on either side of the
clasp.

25

Proceed in the same way for the following link (fig. 3) if you want to remove
a single row of links (or the 2nd, 3rd, etc. if you want to remove 2, 3... rows of
links).
Take out the two bars (fig. 4).
Remove the row(s) of links (fig. 5).
Place the 2 ends of the bracelet back together and insert a bar (fig. 6).
Tip over the link, press on the end of the bar pivot and push your link down
until it clicks (fig. 7).

Adjusting the clasp
The clasp of your watch is fitted with a length-change system enabling you to
lengthen or shorten your bracelet by 4 mm on each side, for enhanced wearer
comfort.
Using the fine adjustment system
Transition from the long position to the short position:
Remove your watch.
Hold your clasp open between the thumb and forefinger of one hand, with the
bracelet section in your other hand (fig. 1).

to release the tip-over part
of the bracelet section from
its groove (fig. 2).
Fig. 2 Long position
Push the tip-over part of
your bracelet section and
place it in its groove, facing
the opposite way to its ini-
tial position (fig. 3).
Fig. 3 Shortened position
The transition from the
short to the long position
is done in the same manner,
but in the opposite direc-
tion (fig. 4).
