CHANGING THE DATE AND SETTING THE TIME
1 Normal position
2 Rapid date change
3 Time-setting
Your RAYMOND WEIL watch may be fitted with a
screw-down crown. Before setting the time or changing
the date, it is therefore necessary to unscrew the crown
by pulling it straight out and turning it anti-clockwise.
The crown will then be released by a spring. After
completing all settings, press lightly on the crown,
while turning it clockwise, and screw it back in gently
in order to preserve your watch’s water-resistance.
CHANGING THE DATE
(applicable only for watches with date indication)
In order to adjust the date rapidly, pull the crown out to
position 2. Then, depending on the model of your watch,
turn the crown forwards or backwards until the desired
date appears in the window. The date changes as the hour
hand passes midnight. During this operation, your watch
will continue to function and so will not need to be reset.
Do not change the date when the watch is showing a time
between 10 pm and 2 am. The watch’s automatic date
change mechanism engages during this time period and
the movement could be damaged.
After finishing your changes, always push the crown
back in to position 1, in order to preserve your watch’s
water-resistance.
SETTING THE TIME
In order to adjust the time, pull the crown out to position 3
and turn it forwards or backwards until the hands indicate
the desired time.
After setting the time, always push the crown back in to
position 1, in order to restart the hands and to preserve
your watch’s water-resistance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Your RAYMOND WEIL watch is powered by a battery with
an average life of approximately 3 years. In order to make
the battery last longer, pull the crown out to position 3
whenever you do not intend to wear your watch for a while.
Certain RAYMOND WEIL models are equipped with a
battery end-of-life (E.O.L.) indicator. With these models,
the second hand jumps every 4 seconds, indicating that
the battery is near exhaustion and should be replaced
without delay, in order to avoid any risk of damage to
the movement.
Please have your watch battery changed only by an
approved RAYMOND WEIL dealer.
NOTICE
Disposal of a watch by non-compliant methods
may cause harm to the environment and is heav-
ily fined according to the regulations
established by each one of the EU member
countries in application of the Directive on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (Directive 2002/96/EC WEEE).
Should you need to dispose of an old watch, please set it
aside for separate waste collection or give it to a retailer
when purchasing a new watch.
RAYMOND WEIL and its approved dealers are at your
disposal to provide you with additional information on
the subject.
