PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Your HYT watch is set and ready to wear.
The time is displayed with two liquids. One is coloured and the other is transparent.
One shows the time that has passed, while the other liquid shows the time to come.
Their meeting point is a meniscus (
2
)*
in the capillary (
4
), i.e. the time now.
Manufactured and tested applying very strict standards, the components of your
HYT watch form an airtight assembly. To ensure that it maintains these properties,
we recommend that you have the seals replaced during an inspection by an appro-
ved dealer. Variations in temperature, humidity, perspiration or repeated impacts
can affect its water resistance over the years. We advise you carry out an inspection
every 5 years.
With its waterproof casing, your HYT watch is completely washable. It must be
cleaned regularly using warm soapy water, rinsed and then carefully dried with a
soft cloth.
Following exposure to sea water, rinse your HYT watch in fresh water.
Make sure you do not expose your watch to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) for
too long.
Important:
if you do not intend to wear the
watch for some time, the coloured liquid must
be kept in its own bellow, left piston (
3
).
To do this, pull the crown into position B, and
turn it to put the time
forward to 06:15. Then
turn it in the reverse direction to go back to
06:00 precisely. You will note at that moment
that the coloured liquid goes into return mode
up to its original position and the transparent
liquid takes its place.
Once the winding stage is finished (coloured li
-
quid in «Zone I»), make sure the crown remains
in time-setting position B. Your watch can now
be stored for a long period.
It is normal to find that a little of the coloured
liquid remains visible in «Zone I».
