MooN pHASES INDIcAToR
Introduction
Moon phases indication allows the reproduction of the moon cycle (new moon, first quarter,
full morn, final quarter) by means of a disc or a window. The moon phases indicator offers a
representation of the sky in which the form of the moon is shown at its different stages throughout
the lunar month.
Reading
A disc, with two moons placed in a starry sky, turns in a window.
At the start of every lunar month, one of the two moons will be revealed in the left part of
the window, initially forming a thin crescent moon, then emerging behind the rounded cover,
growing progressively over the course of the month.
In the middle of the lunar month, the moon appears in the middle of the window in its full form. It
then starts to gradually disappear behind the second rounded cover on the right.
Setting
Press on the corrector a), using the little tool received with your watch, until the desired moon
phase is displayed. One press on the corrector corresponds to moving one day forward.
NB:
Do not correct the moon phases indicator when the mechanism changing the date is
engaged, between 3 PM and 3 AM, as this could damage the mechanism. To be sure, use
midnight as a reference for the date and day change to ensure you are positioned at the right
time of day.
