We congratulate you on choosing a NORTH EDGE watch. Meticu-
lously designed, using only the highest quality materials and
components, your watch is protected against shocks and impacts,
variations in temperature, water and dust.
To ensure that your watch operates with perfect precision for many
years to come, we recommend that you pay careful attention to the
advice provided hereafter.
NORTH EDGE has always been one of the pioneers of water resis-
tant watches. Before changing any settings, please read and
follow the instructions given below:
you have selected a AMOY or ANCHOR model, you have chosen a
watch with a one-piece case (monocoque) which ensures com-
plete water-resistance. This concept comprises a two-section wind-
ing shaft. As a consequence, you must carefully pull the crown
into setting positions II and III because it can be pulled out com-
pletely if too much force is applied. If this problem arises, please
contact your local maintenance store who will reinstall the crown
for you and check over the water-resistance.
Congratulations
Important information

Automatic mechanical watches
Your watch must be wound manually if it has stopped or not been worn for
several days, in order to ensure that your watch remains in continuous opera-
tion during periods of low activity (e.g. during sleep).
In these cases, turn the crown through 30 revolutions forward in position I.
The automatic winding system will then ensure that the movement is fully
wound if the watch is on your wrist. It is also possible to fully wind an auto-
matic watch manually by means of the winding crown. However, please note
that automatic movements have a slipping spring, which disengages the
winding system (the crown can be turned infinitely) once the movement has
been fully wound. Generally speaking, 80 revolutions of the crown are
enough to fully wind most automatic mechanical watches.
The efficiency of the automatic winding system of a mechanical movement
depends on the wrist movements of the person wearing the watch. Do not
deliberately shake your automatic watch to wind it; this has no effect and
could damage the watch.
Setting the time
Pull the crown out to position III and turn it in either direction until the desired time
is displayed.
Rapid correction of the date
NB: Do not perform a rapid date correction between 22:00 and 02:00.
Pull the crown out to position II and turn it clockwise until the desired date is
displayed. During this operation, your watch will keep operating, so you will not
need to adjust the time.

Power reserve
NORTH EDGE Automatic watches draw their energy from an oscillating
weight which is activated in response to the natural movements of
your wrist. This weight keeps the watch wound. Automatic watches do
not need a battery. The power reserve varies from 36 to 40 hours.
Accuracy
The accuracy of a mechanical watch depends on the habits of the
person wearing it, and so it can vary. The AMOY watches have an
average accuracy tolerance of around -20/+40 seconds per day.
NORTH EDGE watches are designed to withstand a pressure of up to 5
bar (50m/165ft), 10 bar (100m/330ft),depending on the information
shown on the case-back. A watch cannot be permanently guaranteed
absolutely water-resistant. It may be affected by ageing of the gaskets
or by an accidental impact on the watch.
Technical information
Water-resistance

Temperature
Do not expose your watch to sudden temperature changes (exposure to
sunlight followed by immersion in cold water) or extreme temperatures
(over 60°C (140°F) or below 0°C (32°F).
Magnetic fields
Do not expose your watch to intense magnetic fields such as those gener-
ated by loudspeakers, mobile phones, computers, refrigerators or other
electromagnetic appliances.
Shocks and impacts
Avoid thermal shocks or impacts since they may harm your watch. In the
event of a violent impact please have your watch checked by an approved
service centre.
Harmful products
Prevent your watch from coming into any direct contact with solvents,-
detergents, perfumes, cosmetic products etc., since they may damage
the bracelet, the case or the gaskets.
Care and maintenance

Like any precision instrument, a watch must be serviced regularly for
optimum operation. As a general rule, we recommend that you have
your watch checked every 3 to 4 years by your local service
centre.However, please note that depending on the climate and the
conditions of use of the watch, a shorter interval may be required.
Cleaning
We would advise you to clean your watch regularly using a soft cloth
and lukewarm soapy water. After immersion in salty water, rinse your
watch in fresh water and leave it to dry completely.
