SETTING NON-DATE MODELS

If the watch has no second hand, merely

pull out the crown and proceed to step 2.

Step 1: When the second hand reaches

the 60th second mark, pull the crown to

the “OUT” position. All hands will stop.

Step 2: Turn the hands forward

(clockwise) to set the time. In order to

prevent the hands from jumping when

the crown is pushed in, set the minute hand

approximately 5 minutes ahead of the

desired minute marker; then, gently turn back to the same minute marker.

Step 3: When the time standard by which you are setting your watch

reaches the 60th second, push the crown to the “IN” position without

turning. All hands will start instantly.

SETTING DATE AND DAY/DATE MODELS

Step 1: When the second hand reaches

the 60th second mark, pull the crown

all the way to the “OUT” position

(you will hear two tiny “click” sounds).

All hands will stop.

Step 2: With the crown still in the “OUT”

position, move hands forward (clockwise)

until you see the date (for date only) or both

day and date change. This establishes

midnight.

Step 3: For AM time, continue to move the hands forward until the minute

hand is approximately 5 minutes ahead of the desired minute marker; then,

gently turn back to the same minute marker. For PM time, follow the same

procedure, but first advance the hands past 12 o’clock.

Note: The date will advance automatically at midnight, provided that AM

and PM have been established (steps 2 and 3). The watch calendar is

programmed for a 31-day cycle. Therefore, on the first day of any month

following a month with less than 31 days, the date must be advanced

manually (see Step 5).

Step 4: When the time standard by which you are setting your watch

reaches the 60th second, push the crown all the way to the “IN” position

without turning. All hands will start instantly.

Step 5: Pull the crown to the “INTERMEDIATE” position (one “click”). Your

watch will continue to tell time. Slowly turn crown one way until correct date

appears. Then, for day/date models, slowly turn crown the other way until

correct day appears.

Note: The day is printed in two successive positions on the day indicator: in

English and in Spanish on U.S. models; in English and in French,

depending on the models. It is possible to make use of either position. The

display will automatically remain in the language chosen. In some models,

the calendar cannot be changed manually between 9:00pm and 6:00am.

However, the mechanism will not be damaged if the crown is turned

accidentally during this period of time.

Step 6: Push the crown to the “IN” position. Your watch is now

operating normally.

HOW TO USE THE ELAPSED TIME INDICATOR

If your watch is equipped with a rotatable outer dial

with oneminute graduations, this can be used in

various ways to check elapsed time. For example

if a diver has a 30-minute air supply, he can set the

outer ring so that the triangle is in line with the minute

hand when he submerges. The minute hand will then

indicate on the outer ring the length of time that the

diver has been under water.

SCREW-DOWN CROWN

If your watch includes a screw-down crown, you have additional assurance

that it will remain watertight. To make the crown operational, it must be

turned toward you until the threads are disengaged. Then, instructions for

setting must be followed. To reseal the crown, press in until threads

engage. Turn away from you until tight.

IMPORTANT: Unless the crown is properly resealed, it

will not be watertight.

******************

IF YOUR NEW WATCH IS A MECHANICAL WATCH (no battery)

Mechanical watches differ from Quartz watches in several respects:

1. No battery changes are needed - they are powered by a mainspring,

which is wound either by wrist movement; or in some models by daily

winding of the setting crown.

2. Because it is a mechanical device, its accuracy is subject to

the effects of gravity and temperature. You can expect, on the

average, a daily variance of up to 10 to 20 seconds for mechanical

watches.

3. Just like automobiles, these watches require routine maintenance.

Due to their mechanical complexity, mechanical watches require cleaning

and new lubrication every 3 to 5 years to run at optimum efficiency.

FOR THE AUTOMATIC SELF-WINDING MECHANICAL WATCH.

It must be wound at least six or seven times before you wear it. After that,

your daily activity should wind the watch sufficiently to keep it running at

night when it is not being worn. If your normal daily activity is not sufficient,

occasional supplementary manual winding may be necessary.

It is suggested that your mechanical watch be cleaned and oiled

periodically to insure optimum performance. As a mechanical watch, quartz

watch accuracy cannot be expected. References to the power cell do not

apply to Automatic watches.

FOR MODELS WITH A 24 HOUR HAND

Some models feature a second, adjustable hour hand, at the center of the

dial, that points to a 24 hour indicator ring. This hand can be adjusted to

point to any hour on the scale of 24. It can be used as a Time Zone hand.

TO ADJUST THE 24 HOUR HAND:

Step 1. Pull the crown out to the intermediate position.

Step 2. Turn the crown in the direction opposite from the date setting

direction, until the 24 hour hand is in the desired position. Then, push

the crown in to the normal position.
