Use / Settings
Screw-in position (position 0)
The crown is fully screwed in against the case. When the crown is in this
position, your timepiece is guaranteed water-resistant.
Manual winding (position I)
The crown is unscrewed. To wind the watch manually, turn the crown
clockwise; the other direction is inactive. When first activating the watch
or after a stoppage, turn it through at least 25 revolutions to ensure it is
partially wound.
To wind the watch fully, carry out the 2 steps below in turn:
Step 1
To set the reference time, carry out the steps below in turn (crown in
position III):
– Unscrew the crown, and then pull it out to the third notch. The seconds
hand will stop, enabling you to set the time precisely.
– Set the reference time via the 24-hour hand (reading on the 24H dial) and
the minute hand (reading on the 12H dial), turning the crown in either
direction. Setting the reference time also drives the traditional hour hand
(local time). For this reason, you need to set the reference time before the
local time.
Step 2
To set the date and local time, carry out the steps below in turn (crown in
position II):
– Pull out the crown to the second notch.
– Set the date by turning the crown in either direction. The hour hand will
move in 1-hour steps. The date will change when the hour hand passes
midnight, in either direction, after two dial revolutions.
– Set the local time by turning the crown in either direction. The hour hand
will move in 1-hour steps. Make sure to distinguish between midday and
midnight (the date will change when the hands pass midnight).
– Push in the crown and then screw it back in. The local time must be the
same as the reference time (24-hour hand).
Travelling
Adjusting the local time (crown in position II):
When travelling, to modify the local time only (without modifying the
reference time in 24-hour format), carry out the steps below in turn:
– Unscrew the crown, and then pull it out to the first notch.
– Set the local time by turning the crown in either direction. The hour hand
will move in 1-hour steps. The date is linked to the local time, and will be
adjusted automatically when the hour hand passes midnight.
– Push in the crown and then screw it back in.
Important: Never set the date between 10 pm and 2am (the movement
is in the process of changing the date).
Care and maintenance
We would advise you to clean your watch regularly (except for the leather
strap) using a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. After immersion in salt
water, rinse it in fresh water and leave it to dry completely.
Do not leave it anywhere where it might be subjected to major variations in
temperature or humidity, in direct sunlight or near strong magnetic fields.
To ensure that you receive the best possible service and the warranty remains
valid, always consult an approved MIDO
®
dealer or agent.
The high-quality finish mechanism in your MIDO
®
watch will give you
complete satisfaction for many years if properly cared for. However, we
recommend that you have your watch checked every 3 to 4 years by your
approved MIDO
®
dealer or agent.
