Description of the display and control buttons Second hand Setting the time

For a superior water resistance your crown is of the

screw-in type. To get to position turn the crown

anti-clockwise until it releases itself.

Pull out the crown to position (the watch

stops).

Turn the crown until you reach the correct

time e.g. 08.45 hr.

Push the crown back into position and

screw the crown in a clockwise direction in order

to maintain water resistance. The crown should

sit flush to the case.

Pull the crown to position

Push the crown back into position until flush

Please note:

The date can not be changed during the date changing phase

between 21.00 hr and 02.00 hr as the watch gearing will already

be aligning itself to change the date.

The crown should always be screwed in after adjustment, and

it is best to do so from position 3 to avoid advancing beyond

the desired date.

Fitting the bracelet

If you find the bracelet needs adjusting to your wrist we recommend you have it re-sized by a

reputable watch repairer or jeweller. Most local jewellers will either do this for free or perhaps make

a nominal charge for what is a job that should only take a few minutes. It is always best to be

present so a comfortable fit is achieved.

Establishing the length of the bracelet

Place the watch with its separated bracelet on your wrist and estimate the number of links you need

to remove. If you need to remove several links, try to keep the numbers removed from both halves

of the bracelet as equal as possible to ensure that the clasp remains roughly in the middle of your wrist.

To open your bracelet simply press either side of

the clasp to release as shown.
