QUARTZ SPLIT- AND ADD-SECONDS
CHRONOGRAPH WATCHES
CALIBER: 289
THE WATCH IS DELIVERED IN ‘ENERGY-
SAVING’ MODE
The crown is extended, the hands are at
twelve o’clock. The crown is extended to
position 2 held by a small “black cap”
around the winding stem, which needs to be
removed before the first use. Once the
crown has been pushed in from position 2,
the watch automatically changes to the
Swiss time and date. It must then be set to
the local time. If the user pulls the crown to
position 2, the hands return to twelve
o’clock and the watch goes back into
‘energy-saving’ mode after about 1 minute.
PRECIDRIVE OF ± 10 SECONDS PER
YEAR
The watch ensures the display of hours,
minutes and seconds to an accuracy of
± 10 sec / year. This extreme accuracy is
achieved through an ultra-precise quartz
combined with time display correction in the
event of a disturbance.
GPD SYSTEM
The GPD system (Gear Position Detection) is
the watch’s key device. It allows to
automatically reset the hands after a shock,
either immediately or at 3am if the problem
isn’t resolved right away. The GPD system
also includes automatic correction at 3am
every three days to ensure the precision.
