utomatic Watch
X = normal position
0 = winding position
1 = date adjustment
2 = setting the time
• Manual Winding: If the watch has not been
worn for a long period of time, wind the
movement before setting the time. Unscrew
the crown to position 0, then turn the crown
clockwise 20 to 30 times.
• Time Setting: To set the time, unscrew the
crown and pull out to position 2. Push the crown back into position X when the
correct time is reached. When setting the time, please ensure that the date display
is also set correctly. It should advance at midnight. If it advances at noon, you will
need to turn the hands forward 12 hours.
• Date Setting: After months with less than 31 days, you need to set the date to the
first day of the next month. To do so, unscrew the crown and pull it out to
position 1. Turn the crown clockwise to set date. On watches with Day function,
turn the crown counterclockwise to set the Day. To prevent damage to the date-
switching mechanism, we advise not to manually reset the date between 9pm and
3am.
• Always remember to screw down the crown after adjustment, to ensure
water resistance and prevent possible damage to the movement.
Remarks: Automatic watches acquire their energy from an oscillating weight which is
activated in response to the movements of your wrist. Depending on the model, the power
reserve ranges from 36 to 48 hours. Manual winding is only necessary if the watch has
not been worn for a long period of time, or if it has stopped.
Depending on the type of movement, the accuracy of a mechanical movement may vary
one to two minutes per week. Accuracy is strongly influenced by the way the watch is
worn.
