Normal position
This watch has a screw-in crown. The screw-in connection (normal position,
position X) prevents unintentional adjustment of the time or the date, and the
watch case has double protection against penetrating water. To release the
secure crown, unscrew it by rotating it to the left, where it automatically as-
sumes position 0, the winding position. By depressing the crown in position
X and rotating it to the right at the same time, it is screwed down firmly again
and secured.
Winding position
In the winding position (position 0), you can also wind the automatic move-
ment by hand. The movement will start after only a few revolutions of the
crown. However, it is better to wind the movement fully with about 30 revolu-
tions of the crown, as maximum accuracy and a power reserve of about
44 hours will then be assured, even after taking off the watch.
Setting the date
If a month has fewer than 31 days, you must set the date by hand to the first
day of the following month. To do this, release the screw-in crown and pull it
to position 1. You can now change the date by rotating the crown to the right
(quick setting).
Setting the time
Pull the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To ensure that the
set time is accurate to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the
seconds hand reaches 60. You can now position the minute hand exactly on
the minute line. To start the seconds hand, push the crown back to position
0. When setting the time, please be aware that the date change always takes
place at midnight (24.00). If this change has already taken place at 12 noon,
you must move the hands forwards by 12 hours.
