Introduction
We congratulate you on the acquisition of your Le Rhöne watch and thank you for your confidence. We invite you to
consult the operating instructions and hope your Le Rhöne timepiece brings you great enjoyment.
Accuracy and Precautions for Use
The precision of watch models with mechanical movements is mostly 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 Le Rhöne Manufacture have lavished
on building and assembling your watch, its accuracy is subject to the influence of gravity, magnetic fields, impacts, as
well as aging 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 authorized Le Rhöne retailer who will perform the necessary adjustments. Watches with
mechanical movements must not be used for sports involving significant risk of impact or abrupt actions, such as golf or
tennis for example.
Water-resistance
Your Le Rhöne watch(*) is water-resistant to 10 bar / ATM. The water-resistance of your watch is identifiable by the engraving
on the back. This means that your timepiece has been tested at an immersion pressure corresponding to 100 meters / 300
feet. In order to guarantee the durability of the watch’s characteristics over time and as the water-resistant sealant may be
aected by certain activities, it is recommended for the user to:
• have the water-resistance of the watch checked by an authorized Le Rhöne retailer, in accordance with the recommendations
of Le Rhöne Manufacture (at any event after each opening of the case, a test with increased air pressure is highly
recommended),
• check when making the purchase that the strap or bracelet is suitable for the intended use,
• avoid subjecting the watch to excessively abrupt temperature changes,
• protect the watch from being dropped or suering other shocks, as well as have the watch checked after any violent
impact,
• avoid the use of the controls, push-piece or time-setting crown while under water or before the watch has dried after
immersion,
• restore the crown and the push-pieces to their normal positions after every manipulation,
• rinse the watch with fresh water delicately (not directly under the tap) after use in seawater.
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 or for sports involving significant risk of impact, such as windsurfing
or water-skiing. Also note that leather straps are not suited to aquatic activities. Furthermore, it is vital to have the water-
resistance of your watch checked by an authorized Le Rhöne retailer at least once every three yearsv and before any period
of prolonged and/or regular immersions.
Quality Test
Le Rhöne submits all its watches to the stringent quality test and certifies that the latter has undergone this program
of observation in our laboratories and has successfully passed all the tests relating to regularity of rate, temperature,
atmospheric pressure and 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.
(*) For the Haute Horlogerie timepieces the water-resistance is 3 bar / ATM corresponding to 30 meters / 90 feet.

• Push-piece at 4 o’clock: this push-piece resets the counters and the central second hand. When timing is in
progress, pressing this push-piece has no eect.
Screw-in crown:
To ensure perfect water-resistance to the depth for which the model was designed, the crown must be unscrewed
before performing any operation with it, such as setting the time or the date.
1. Unscrew the crown for normal use.
2. In order to ensure the watch’s water-resistance, the crown must be screwed back down after use. To do so,
screw down the crown while pressing onto the case.

Here are the following conditions.
Any part found by our technical services to be defective as a result of a manufacturing defect will, at the sole discretion of
Le Rhöne, be repaired or replaced free of charge. The Le Rhöne International Warranty is valid only if the warranty certifi-
cate enclosed with the watch box has been duly completed, dated, stamped and signed by the authorized Le Rhöne retailer
where the watch was purchased. This Le Rhöne International Warranty does not cover defects resulting from accidents,
mishandling or incorrect or abusive use (for example, knocks, dents, crushing, excessive temperatures, powerful magnetic
fields), unauthorized alteration or repair or the consequences of normal wear and aging of the watch, the strap or the glass,
the loss of water-resistance, after 2 years from the date of purchase (or 10 years if you beneficiate from the warranty exten-
sion) if your watch is water-resistant.
Water-resistance of Le Rhöne watches may be engraved on the caseback. It is guaranteed for two years from the date of
purchase, (or 10 years if you beneficiate from the warranty extension) provided that the glass, bezel, back, middle part and
crown have not been damaged. It is nevertheless essential to have the water-resistance of your watch checked at least once
every three years, and in any event, prior to any period of intensive use, either by an authorized Le Rhöne retailer or by an
authorized Le Rhöne Service Centre (for further information please see below «Le Rhone Customer Service» chapter).
Except insofar as prohibited by applicable law, this Limited Warranty shall be the exclusive manufacturer warranty. Neither
this Limited Warranty nor any other warranties, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied war-
ranty of merchantability or of fitness for any particular purpose, shall extend beyond the period of two years from the date

of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty
grants you specific legal rights, in addition to which you may have other legal rights that vary from one Country, State, Pro-
vince or Territory to another.

Le Rhöne Customer Service
A Le Rhöne timepiece is a high-precision instrument that operates 24 hours a day. IIt is therefore essential to have it serviced
once every three or five years in order to guarantee its good working order and its durability. If significant variations occur
in the settings, it may be necessary to have the movement serviced.
It is also necessary to have the water-resistance of the watch checked once every three years, or prior to any period during
which it will be subjected to prolonged and/ or regular immersion. Maintenance and repair work must be entrusted to an
authorized Le Rhöne retailer, or to an authorized Le Rhöne Service Centre. The list of our points of sale and service centers
is available on our website: www.lerhone.com.
Our authorized Service Centers are staed by watchmakers trained at the Le Rhöne manufacture, and have the workshops,
tools and parts required for the repair and maintenance of Le Rhöne watches. In certain cases, especially for operations
requiring special tools and parts, the Service Centers will send your watch to the Le Rhöne Manufacture in Switzerland to
have the necessary work carried out.
