Displays
In addition to the basic functions (hour and minutes), your watch has
a tourbillon display (3):
The seconds are displayed by a blue indicator placed on the end of
one arm of the tourbillon carriage which rotates on its own axis
every minute to compensate for the effects of gravity on the sprung
balance.
Setting instructions
Winding and time setting:
The winding and time-setting crown (I) can be placed in two
positions A and B.
A:
Pressed down against the case, position for winding and using the
chronometer functions.
This is the normal position when the watch is being worn and
guarantees the best water-resistance.
When the power-reserve hand (4) is close to the minimum, or
every day at roughly the same time, wind the watch by rotating the
winding and time-setting crown (I). The power-reserve hand (4) lets
you monitor how much the watch has been wound.
Do not force the winding mechanism when you feel resistance
increasing.
When the power reserve hand (4) is on the minimum graduation, the
spring is almost entirely unwound and the watch may stop or be less
accurate.
B:
Time setting position.
When pulled out in this position, rotation of the winding and time-
setting crown (I) allows the time to be set. Then push the winding
and time-setting crown (I) back to position A to restart the watch.
It is generally preferable to set the time by advancing the hour and
minute hands (1 and 2) in the clockwise direction. The hands can
however be moved backwards provided you end the adjustment by
advancing them.
Chronograph functions
The timing function can only be used with the winding and time-
setting crown (I) in position A.

of 3 bar.
