Day phase

The day phase, shown by the picture of the sun for day

time and the night sky for night time, is linked to the

time of day. It can therefore be set in the same way as

the time after pulling the crown out one click (1).

Moon phase

To adjust the moon phase without risking damage to

the movement, it is essential to position the hands in

the lower part of the dial between 3 and 9 o’clock.

Position the full moon at the center of its aperture by

pressing the corrector X on the side of the case several

times using the Zenith Time Tool. Using a moon cal-

endar, identify the date of the last full moon and count

the number of days between then and the present day.

Press the corrector the same number of times.

Example

It is September 28, 2010. The last full moon was on

September 23rd. The corrector must be pressed 5 times.

The moon phase is now set.

Time

Pull out the crown one click (1). If your watch displays the

date, ensure that you are setting the time during the correct

part of the day, i.e. before or after midday. Turn the crown

in either direction to set the hands to the time required.

On the stroke of the time signal, press the crown back in.

Important note: for movements with a 24 times zones

function (4037 & 4046), corrections to the time should

never be made in a counterclockwise direction between

11 p.m. and 1 a.m.

Simple date & Month date & Large date (2 discs)

To change the date without risking damage to the move-

ment, it is essential to position the hands in the lower

part of the dial between 3 and 9 o’clock.

Pull out the crown two clicks (2) and turn it until the

required date appears. For models displaying the month,

scroll through the dates as far as the month required and

then set the date. The month changes at midnight on the

31st. Push the crown back in.

Day of the week

Use the ZENITH Time Tool to press the corrector Y until

the required day appears. Do not use a pen or any other

pointed object.

Hint: To ensure you set the correct time - before (a.m.)

or after (p.m.) midday - with regards to date change, we

advise that you set the date to the day before the desired

date and then move the hours forwards until the correct

date and time, a.m. or p.m., are obtained.

Example : it’s Thursday, the 26th of May.

1. Day of the Week

Pull the crown out one click (1). Turn the hands clock-

wise to set the day of the week. Then, place the hands

in the lower part of the dial (for example at 7.25) the

day before the one you desire (Example: Wednesday if

you want Thursday). Press the crown back in.

2. Date and Month

Pull the crown out two clicks (2) and scroll through

the dates until the required month appears (Exam-

ple: May) then set the date one day before the one you

desire (Example: the 25th if you want the 26th). The final

adjustment is made through the hands by setting the

time clockwise. Once you pass through midnight, the

day and date will change. Finally, you will be able to set

correctly the time before (a.m.) or after (p.m.) midday.

The watch is now set according to our example: Thurs-

day, the 26th of May.
