Setting instructions

Changing the frequency mode (7):

Simply press the pusher (IV) and the hand (7) changes position to 

indicate the chosen mode: Active (5 Hz) or Standby (1.2 Hz).

Winding and time setting (hands 1 and 2):

The winding and time-setting crown (I) can be placed in two 

positions: A and B.

A:

 Pushed down against the case, winding position.

This is the normal position when the watch is being worn and 

guarantees the best water-resistance.

When the power-reserve hand (6) is close to the minimum (zero), 

wind the watch by rotating the crown (I) clockwise. The power-reserve 

hand (6) lets you monitor how much the watch has been wound.
Do not force the winding mechanism when you feel resistance 

increasing.

NOTE:

 When the power-reserve hand points to less than zero, 

the watch may continue to operate. As this will last a short and 

indeterminate period of time, we recommended winding the watch 

anyway.

B:

 Time-setting position.

1.   Pull the winding and time-setting crown (I) out to position B;

2.  Turn the winding and time-setting crown (I) until the desired time 

(1 and 2) is displayed;

3.  Then push the winding and time-setting crown (I) back to 

position A.

IMPORTANT:

 When setting the time in an anticlockwise direction, 

do not pass midnight as this risks damaging the mechanism. If you 

encounter resistance, do not force it. 

Setting the instant perpetual calendar (date (3) and month (4) 

hands and leap-year disc (5)) using the winding and time-

setting crown (I):

If less than 3 days from the desired date (3), the instant perpetual 

calendar (date (3) and month (4) hands and leap-year disc (5)) can 

be set using the winding and time-setting crown (I).

1.   Pull the winding and time-setting crown (I) out to position B;

2.  Turn the winding and time-setting crown (I) until the desired date 

(3) is displayed;

3.  Then push the winding and time-setting crown (I) back to 

position A.

When the watch is in Standby mode, it has a minimum power 

reserve of 65 days, during which the indications of the perpetual 

calendar (date (3) and month (4) hands and leap-year disc (5)) are 

up-to-date and do not need to be adjusted. 

Setting the instant perpetual calendar (date (3) and month (4) 

hands and leap-year disc (5)) using the correctors (II and III):

If more than 3 days from the desired date (3), the instant perpetual 

calendar (date (3) and month (4) hands and leap-year disc (5)) can 

be set via the correctors (II and III) using the corrector pen (V).
All the indications must be set one by one in the following order:

1 - The date (3)

E.g. to set the date (3) to 27, position the date hand (3) on 26 by 

using the corrector pen (V), then turn the winding and time-setting 

crown (I) until 27 is displayed;

2 - The time: the hour and minute hands (1 and 2) must be turned 

using the winding and time-setting crown (I) until the desired time 

is obtained;
