CALATRAVA PILOT TRAVEL TIME

5
Your Calatrava Pilot Travel Time is equipped
with a caliber 324 S C FUS self-winding move-
ment, characterized by an ingenious and exclusive
mechanism that simultaneously displays the time
in two different time zones. It features two central
hour hands – the solid one displays local time, and
the skeletonized one displays the time in your home
time zone. When traveling, simply press the push-
ers to move the local time forward or backward one
hour at a time. While the time is being adjusted,
the hour hand displaying local time is disconnected
from the movement so that the accuracy of the min-
ute and seconds hands is not compromised. The
dual day/night indication for home time and local
time prevents accidental nighttime calls that could
wake up family members or colleagues. The date
refers to local time. When you don’t need to use the
dual time zone feature, the hour hands sit one on
top of the other and move in complete synchroniza-
tion. An innovative design offering two timepieces
in one.

INSTRUCTIONS
WINDINGCROWN
The winding crown is used to manually wind the
watch (position 1) and to set the time (position 2).
WINDING
Your watch incorporates a self-winding movement.
The movements of your wrist set a centrifugal mass
in motion; this tensions the mainspring, which stores
the energy. When you take off your fully wound
watch, it will continue to run for at least 35 hours.
When it has stopped after depleting the power
reserve, it can be rewound by hand (about 10 clock-
wise turns of the crown).

9
SECONDTIMEZONE
Your watch has two central hour hands:
- The solid hand displays local time (the time
zone in which you are currently located)
- The skeletonized hand displays home time (your
normal place of residence or work)
When you are at home and therefore local time and
home time are the same, the hands are perfectly
aligned to appear as one.
When you change time zone, you can move the local
hour hand forward or backward one hour at a
time using the pushers on the side of the case at
8 o’clock and 10 o’clock . During this time, the
skeletonized hand continues to indicate the time
in your home time zone.
This useful feature is intelligently combined with
day/night indicators, clearly distinguished by the
words LOCAL and HOME . These small aper-
tures tell you what part of the day it is in each of
the two displayed time zones.

10
Lock:
1/4 turn clockwise
Unlock:
1/4 turn counterclockwise
Note: The pushers used to set the local time feature a pat-
ented safety lock that prevents inadvertent changes to the
local time setting. Before they can be actuated, they must
be unlocked with a quarter turn in the counterclockwise
direction. After setting the local time, lock the pushers
again with a quarter turn in the clockwise direction.

11
Please wind the watch and set the time before
you put the watch on. This prevents lateral
pressure on the winding stem. Please use
your fingernails to pull the crown out and
turn it gently between two fingertips.
Never pull out the crown in a humid envi-
ronment or underwater: the water resist-
ance of your watch is assured only when
the crown is pushed home.
Your watch has two central hour hands
that move synchronously and can be either
superposed or separated in order to display
a second time zone.
The local time correction pushers can move
the local time hand clockwise or counter-
clockwise in one-hour step.
Before they can be actuated, the local time
correction pushers must be unlocked (¼ turn
counterclockwise).
Correction push pieces should be actuated
exclusively with the correction stylus that
was delivered with the watch. The use of
any other tool could damage your timepiece.
Do not perform any date correction between
10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
CAUTION

12
PREPARATIONS
1. If your watch has stopped running, rewind it by
hand before performing any corrections or adjust-
ments (about 10 clockwise turns of the crown).
2. You can be sure that performing adjustment is
safe if you first set your watch to 7 a.m.; observe the
color of the day/night indicator (LOCAL) (white).

13
SETTINGTHETIME –
HOMETIME
The reference time for your watch is the time at
home. To set the time, first actuate one of the cor-
rection pushers or as many times as needed to
superpose the skeletonized and solid hour hands
and to display the same color in the day/night indi-
cator apertures (HOME) and (LOCAL) . Now,
pull the crown gently all the way out and move the
hands in either direction. The day/night indicator
in the aperture (HOME) lets you check whether
you have set the correct time (white = from 6 a.m. to
6 p.m.; blue = from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.). Once you have
set the correct time, push the crown home again.

14
DISPLAYOFASECOND
TIMEZONE – LOCALTIME
Before you set a second time zone , check the day/
night indicator (HOME) to make sure that the
two superposed hour hands indicate the correct time
at home and that the day/night indicator correctly
displays daytime or nighttime hours, for instance
8 a.m. or 8 p.m.
To set the local hour hand to display a second
time zone, follow these steps:
- If you are traveling eastbound, press the correc-
tion pusher at 8 o’clock to move the solid hand
clockwise by as many hours as the two time zones
are apart (press once = +1 hour).
- If you are traveling westbound, press the cor-
rection pusher at 10 o’clock to move the solid
hand counterclockwise by as many hours as the
two time zones are apart (press once = -1 hour).

15
- If you move the hour hand for local time beyond
midnight in either direction, the date will also
switch forward or backward.
- If you continue your journey and pass through
further time zones, simply repeat the procedure
described above with the pushers or .
Note: When the two hour hands are separate, the skele-
tonized hand continues to display the time in your home
time zone, and the day/night aperture (HOME) indi-
cates whether it is day or night in your home time zone.
As soon as you have returned to your home time zone
(normal place of residence or work), simply press the
correction pusher (+1 hour) or (-1 hour) as many
times as needed to superpose the two hour hands
and again. Make sure the two day/night indica-
tors (HOME) and (LOCAL) indicate the same
time of day and have the same color.

DATECORRECTION
The date indicated by your watch refers to the local
time zone. To set the date , actuate the correction
push piece between 6 and 7 o’clock (Ref. 5524) or
at 6 o’clock (Ref. 7234) as many times as needed to
display the current date.

MAINTENANCE
CERTIFICATEOFORIGIN
Your watch is delivered with a certificate of origin
that indicates the movement and case numbers. The
certificate is valid only if it is dated, signed by an
Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer, and completed
with your name. It guarantees the authenticity of
your watch and validates your warranty privileges
for a period of two years after the date of sale. The
unique movement and case numbers of each watch
are transcribed into the workshop journals. With
this information, you may have yourself entered
in the Patek Philippe Register of Owners and will
obtain the International Patek Philippe Magazine free
of charge.
PATEKPHILIPPESEAL
As an all-encompassing hallmark of quality,
the Patek Philippe Seal applies to the entire
watch, including the movement, case, dial,
hands, pushers, strap, and clasp as well as to all other
facets that contribute to the precision and aesthetic
perfection of the timepiece. It covers the technical,
functional, and aesthetic factors, but also rate accu-
racy, dependability, and customer service quality.
Additionally, it reflects the maker’s know-how and
all other assets needed for the development, produc-
tion, and long-term maintenance of an extraordinary
timekeeping instrument.

18
QUALITYCONTROL
The movements and completely assembled watches
are subject to a series of technical tests and visual
inspections to verify their rate accuracy, winding
speed, power reserve, reliability, water resistance,
and overall appearance. Once assembled, your self-
winding watch will run for several weeks before
leaving the workshops; it fully complies with the
stringent criteria of the Patek Philippe Seal.
ACCURACY
The rate accuracy of Patek Philippe watches is ver-
ified in several phases of manufacturing, both with
uncased and fully cased movements. The final test
is performed with a wrist motion simulator and
the results must conform to the following Patek
Philippe precision benchmarks:
The rate accuracy of calibers with a diameter of 20 mm
or larger must range within -3 and +2 seconds per
24 hours.
The precision of a watch is determined by how accu-
rately it keeps the time. A watch that is fast or slow
is considered precise if the amount by which it is
fast or slow remains constant. Such a deviation can
be easily corrected. Consequently, the final test of
accuracy takes place on your wrist. Your tempera-
ment or the nature of your physical activities can
cause slight irregularities. Fluctuations in position,
temperature, or air pressure, the presence of mag-
netic fields (as produced by most electronic devices,
metal detectors, household appliances, etc.) as well
as vibrations and other factors may also affect its
accuracy. If you notice that your watch exhibits

19
such irregularities, please do not hesitate to take
it to an Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer or an
Authorized Service Center where no effort will be
spared to assure that it is adjusted to meet your
expectations.
WATERRESISTANCE
Your watch is fitted with different types of seals
to protect the movement against the ingress of
dust and moisture and to prevent damage if it is
immersed in water. Nonetheless, we recommend
that you prevent direct contact with water if your
watch has a leather strap.
It is advisable to have a water-resistance test car-
ried out every year on your watch. This is a simple
procedure that takes only a few minutes at a prop-
erly equipped point of sale.
SERVICE
We recommend that you have your watch serviced
every three to five years. With this in mind, we
suggest that you take or send your watch to an
Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer or an Author-
ized Service Center. This gives you the assurance
that your watch will be entrusted to the hands of
a qualified Patek Philippe watchmaker in Geneva
or at an Authorized Service Center.

20
The watchmaker will completely disassemble the
movement and then inspect, clean, and lubricate
all of the individual parts prior to reassembly. All
functions of the watch will also be tested in detail
and the escapement regulated if necessary. Finally,
its rate accuracy will be monitored and precision-
adjusted for a further period of two weeks. The
entire process may take several weeks because each
watch must undergo a complete series of tests to
fulfill the strict quality criteria of Patek Philippe.

of your watch or need the address of your closest
Authorized Patek Philippe Service Center, contact our
