Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck Worldtimer, Manual

5

Setting the Moonstruck is easy, if a few steps are followed in the right order, to ensure 

correct indications of both moon phase and tides.
The setting is done by means of the crown and the two pushers 1 and 2 on the left side of 

the watch case.
A 

Crown screwed down. Always keep the crown in this position when

wearing or storing the watch.

B                  

To wind the movement: unscrew and turn crown clockwise. If the watch                     

has stopped, approx. 30-40 turns are necessary to wind the movement 

and give it enough power before wearing the watch.

C                  

To set the calendar hand forward or backward: pull the crown into 

position C.

Important : do not use quick corrector between 10:00 pm and 2:00 am; 

doing so may result in damaging the calendar mechanism.

D                  

To adjust the hour and minute hands: pull the crown into position D.   

When turning the crown forward or backward, the hour and minute 

hands as well as the current GMT (by means of the sun disc) are set. 

Pusher 1 

The hour hand is set forward, in one-hour increments. All other 

indications will not be affected. Except the date.

Pusher 2 

The hour hand is set backward, in one-hour increments. All other 

indications will not be affected. Except the date.

WIND THE WATCH

Regardless on the time span during which the Moonstruck was stopped, the watch can 

be quickly reset to show the proper time. If the time span was short, the easiest way to re-

set it is by turning the crown forward or backward in position D. Before advancing the time 

in position D, wind the movement by turning the crown clockwise in position B to ensure 

that the movement has some “energy” to keep the watch working.

SETTING OF MOON PHASE AND GMT

Turning the crown in position D forward or backward moves the hour and minute hands, 

as well as all other indications. To adjust the watch by one day, the hour hand has to make 

two complete turns (2 x 12 hours) while the sun disc rotates once (1 x 24 hours).
The first step to set the Moonstruck is the adjustment of  the moon phase indication in 

position D: Assuming it is May 21st and the last full moon was on May 18th (this can be 

checked with a calendar or one of many online resources) an adjustment of three days 

is required. Pull the crown to position D and turn it until the sun and moon symbols are 

positioned directly opposite each other, and the moon window is completely filled with the 

silver / golden color, which depicts the full moon. If turned too far one can easily turn the 

crown backward, without harming the mechanism of the watch. Then count each further 

complete revolution of the sun disc, which equals one day and turn the sun disc three 

times to reach the desired date, May 21st. The moon window should show a small dark 

blue zone.
