CHANGING THE DATE AND SETTING THE TIME
1 Normal or winding 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
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 located at:
-12 o’clock for models fitted with an RW 7200 calibre;
-4 o’clock for models fitted with an RW 7300 calibre.
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.
USE OF THE CHRONOGRAPH
The chronograph function can only be used when the
crown is in position 1 or 2.
START
Press push-button A to activate the seconds hand of
the chronograph. If the timed activity lasts longer than
60 seconds, the time elapsed will next appear on the
minutes counter and after a further 30 minutes on the
hours counter.
STOP
Press push-button A a second time to stop the chronograph
and obtain the time that has elapsed (in hours, minutes and
seconds). By pressing push-button A again, timing restarts
immediately. Thus you can measure several consecutive
time-durations.
RESETTING TO ZERO
Press push-button B in order to reset all the chronograph
counters to zero. Your watch is now ready to start
timing again. Resetting to zero is only possible once
the chronograph has been stopped.
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.
