– The hands must never be turned anticlockwise beyond 2 a.m.
– The crown must be pushed back into the normal position
before wearing the watch to avoid unintentional adjustment of
the calendar.

To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:
– Wind the movement (approximately 20 revolutions of the
crown).
– Pull out the crown to position 2 and turn the hands forward to
approximately 4.40 a.m. This ensures that the calendar mech-
anism is not in the middle of the automatic switching phase and
that you can also see the calendar displays easily.
– Push the crown to position 0 and pull it back to position 1.
– Slowly turn the crown to the right. The calendar now advances
in steps. Set the display to yesterday's date, keeping an eye on
the month and the year.
– Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement.
To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the
movement as the seconds hand passes 60.
– Turn the hands forward until the date display changes to
today's date. The hands will now be positioned between
12 midnight and 1 a.m.
