Order of settings
The settings on your watch must be made in the order indi-
cated below, as per the following instructions:
1) Set the time-zone hour and minute hands
2) Set the date and local hour hand
Set the second time-zone hour and minute hands
This first setting consists of adjusting the city disc, and the
second time-zone hour and minute hands to provide the
mechanism with the reference parameters.
1
st
operation:
setting the city disc (select local city).
Crown B
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
Pull crown B out to position 2.
Turn the crown clockwise or anti-clockwise, so that the
window at 6 o’clock opposite the triangular marker displays
the city corresponding to the time-zone that you are in (your
local city).
Once the operation is complete, push the crown back into
position 1 and turn the compression key to the “closed” posi-
tion in the direction of the arrows.
2
nd
operation:
setting the second time-zone hour hand (dial at
9 o’clock) and local time minute hand.
Crown A
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
Pull crown A out to position 3.
The movement will then be locked (the operating indicator
will stop).
Turn the crown clockwise. Note: the local hour hand and date
are automatically driven by this operation, but their final set-
tings will be made independently, as per the instructions for
the next stage.
As you turn the crown, keep an eye on both the second
time-zone hour hand (in the sub-dial at 9 o’clock) and the
main minute hand.
Move the hour hand in the sub-dial forward to obtain the
local time, while observing the 24-hour display system, oppo-
site the small triangle in the 9 o’clock position. Keep turning
the crown to move the main minute hand to the desired local
time position.
Once the operation is complete, push the crown back into
position 1 and turn the compression key to the “closed” posi-
tion in the direction of the arrows. The watch will then start
running again.
Note: daylight saving time / winter time
Perform the two operations above to correct the second
time-zone for the summer time (DST) and winter time
changeovers.
The configuration of the city disc corresponds to a relative
time-zone position in winter time (legal time).
For a correct second time-zone reading during summer time
(DST), you need to consider the geographic location of the
country in question, i.e. whether it is in the Northern or
Southern Hemisphere.
The Northern Hemisphere countries which apply daylight
saving time do so between March/April and October:
- In Europe (except Iceland): between the last Sunday of
March and the last Sunday of October.
- In North America: between the first Sunday of April and
the last Sunday of October.
Some Southern Hemisphere countries also apply the hour
change, but on different dates. The three cities concerned
which are shown on the time-zone disc of your watch are
Rio de Janeiro, Auckland and Sydney, for which daylight saving
time runs from October to February or March (according to
annual decrees).
Setting the local date and hour hand
The Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic watch has a
local hour hand quick-setting function, which is also used for
setting the date.
In position 2, crown A can move the local hour hand in one-
hour jumps, while driving the date (in both directions). The
minute hand keeps running, maintaining an accurate watch
setting.
1
st
operation:
setting the date
Crown A
Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
Then pull crown A out to position 2.
The date can be corrected by one day by turning the local
hour hand through two revolutions of the dial (the hour hand
makes one-hour jumps).
Turn the crown forward or backward (depending on the
closest distance between the indicated date and the desired
date), and turn the hour hand as many times as necessary
until the desired date is displayed.
Keep the compression key in the “open” position to go
directly to the 2
nd
setting below, for the hour hand.
