USE
WINDING
Crown in position I, not pulled out
Your model has a manual winding movement. If, after having
fully wound the watch, you do not wear it for longer than
60 hours, it will stop.You must rewind it by hand to get
it moving again.To do this, turn the crown in a clockwise
direction.The balance will begin to move after a few turns.
Continue to turn the winding mechanism until it cannot be
wound up anymore (about 30 times). Please do not wind it
up too tightly to avoid damaging the clockwork mechanism.
For daily use, we recommend that you wind the watch in
the morning before you put it on.The movement spring
then has enough power reserve to keep your watch run-
ning smoothly until the next day and beyond.
Notes
The accuracy may be inuenced by the wearing conditions.
There is a stop of the crown at full winding.
SETTING THE TIME
Crown in position II, pulled out
Pull the crown out to position II carefully; the seconds hand
(3) will stop. Turn the crown forwards or backwards to
set the desired time, and then push it back into the rest
position I.
Once the hour hand passes the 12 o’clock position, you
can see if it is indicating midnight (date will change) or
midday (date will not change).
Advice on how to synchronise your watch
To synchronise the seconds hand (3) with an ofcial time
signal (radio/TV/Internet), pull out the crown to position II;
the seconds hand will stop. At the signal, push the crown
back into the rest position I.
RAPID DATE CORRECTION
Press the corrector as many time as needed (5), to move
the disc forward until the desired date (4) is displayed.
During this operation, your watch will continue running, so
the time will not need to be re-set.
Important: Rapid date correction is impossible
between 8.30 p.m. and 11.30 p.m.
CHRONOGRAPH FUNCTION
Press the Start/Stop push-button (9) to start the
chronograph. Press the Start/Stop push-button (9) again
to stop it.The chronograph will resume if the Start/Stop
push-button (9) is pressed again (added times), or the
three chronograph hands (6, 7and 8) will return to zero if
push-button (10) is pressed.
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 the watch
in fresh water and leave it to dry completely.
Ensure that you do not leave it in places subject to great
temperature and humidity variations, in intense sunlight or
near strong magnetic elds.
We recommend you have your watch inspected every
3 to 4 years by your approved dealer or agent. For an
irreproachable maintenance service and to ensure the
warranty remains valid, always approach an approved
dealer or agent.
WATER RESISTANCE PRECAUTIONS
Your watch is water resistant but, following a shock, it
may lose its water resistance without you realising. Water
resistance must be checked up during its scheduled
inspection.
Important: In the event of failure of your watch,
entrust it only to an approved dealer or agent (see
the warranty).
