 TIME SETTING

FORWARDS

BACKWARDS

Pull the crown to position2.

Turn the crown "FORWARDS" by 1 notch.

The hour and minute-hand advances 1 step per notch.

By holding the crown in the "FORWARDS" position, between 2 notches, this causes a rapid
advance of the hands.

The same operation in the "BACKWARDS" position produces the opposite effect.

The watch and chronograph are stopped during this operation.

When the crown is returned to the "0" position, the minute-hand will take the next step after
12 seconds.

The function of the calendar is linked directly to the time setting and the date changes on each
midnight.
 TIME ZONES CHANGE

FORWARDS

BACKWARDS

Pull the crown into the intermediate position 1.

Turn the crown "FORWARDS" or "BACKWARDS".

Each notch moves the hour and minute-hands by 1 hour.

The watch operates normally during this operation.

The calendar function is directly linked to the time zones change and the
date changes at each midnight.
 END OF LirE BATTERY lNDIC.ATIO�

The fact that the battery is dead is indicated by the movement of the chronograph hand.

The places itself on "2 O'clock" on the dial and keeps to this static position.

The movmeent is stopped but its memory is preserved.

After changing the battery, reset the time and correct the calendar.
 CORRECTION TO A SHIIT
IN THE CHRONOGRAPH HANDS.

Operations to enter into "correction mode":

Pull the crown to positon 1.

Hold push button P1 presed down and press 3 times on push button P2.

Then, push-button P2 enables us to modify the position of the chronograph hand.

Each pressure applied to this part causes an advance of the chronograph hand by 1
step.

Rapid advance can be obtained by holding the push-button pressed down.

By pressing P1, you terminate the chronograph hand correction and enter the
hours and minutes counters hand correction mode.

Press again on P2, each pulse causes a step-by-step movement of the aforesaid
counter hands.

Holding pressure on the push-button has the effect of advancing the hands rapidly.

A further pulse on push-button P1 puts an end to the correction operation.

Return the crown to position 0.

vice-versa.
 INITIALISATION OF THE MOVEMENT

Before commencin� the initialisation functions it is necessary to know the function

of the dial and the second-hand.

These are the bases for reading and locatinr the different states.

Jhus, the initialisation should always be performed when the watch is equipped
with its dial preferably fitted on.

The established order of initialisation is as follows: year, month, date, time.

To enter into "INITIALISATION MODE", proceed as follows:

1) Pull the crown into position 2.

2) Adjust the hands on a full hour, (e.g. 3.00 h, 4.00 h, etc.) so that the minu­
te-hand is placed on the "12" of the dial.

3) Press first 3 times on push-button P2 and· then 3 times on push-button Pl.

As from this moment initialisation of the movement can commence.

I
 INITIALISATION: YEAR

Before performing the operations in view of accessing the initialisation mode, you
are automatically in the first phase of reaciing, that of the year.

Function of the dial: The dial is divided into 4/4 .

Each 1/4 (digits 3, 6, 9, 12) corresponds to a given year.
The leap years are identified by the digit 12.

Second-hand : Indicates the year recorded in the memory.

E.g.: for the year 1991, the hand positions itself on digit 9 on
the dial.

Push-button P2 : The push-button operates as corrector.

On each pressure applied the second-hand advances by
1/ 4 turn.
In this way the year required can be entered.

Push-button Pl : This confirms the storage of the year in memory by a

pressure and enables direct access to the successive
phase, initialisation of the month.

LEAP YEARS

1991 1()89
1995 9 - 1993
l'W} 1(}97
etc. de.

1990 - 1994 - TtJtlS - etc

 INITIALISATION : MONTHS

Function of the dial: The 12 hours on the dial correspond to the 12 months of
the year.

Second-hand : The second-hand will place itself on tl. :nonth recorded

in the memory.
E.g.: positioning of the hand on digit 6 on the dial= month of
June.

Push-button P2 : Push-button operates as corrector.

On each pressure applied the second-hand advances by 1
hour (1/12) on the dial so it is possible to enter the month
required.

Push-button P1 : A pressure on this button confirms the storage in memo­

ry of the month, enables terminating initialisation of the
month and direct accessing to the initialisation of the
date

fl I ',j
 INITIALISATION : DATE

Function of the dial : To read the date, the minutes Ol). the dial are taken into
consideration.
The first 31 minutes correspond to the dates of a morith.

Second-hand : The positioning of the second-hand on one o t ... 1ese

minutes indicates the corresponding date in memory of
the time of the check.
E.g.: halting of the hand on the 4th minute = 4th day of the
month.

Push-button P2 The push-button operates as corrector.

Each pressure received advances the second-hand by one
step (1 minute on the dial), so that the date can be adjus­
ted.
After the 31st day, the hand returns automatically to 1
(1st minute) and the cycle can recommence.

Push-button Pl : Pressure on this push-button confirms the storage in

memory of the date selected, enables this phase to be ter­
minated and switching to initialisation of the time.
 INITIALISATION : HOUR

Function of the dial : The minutes on the dial are taken into consideration.
The first 23 minutes (starting from 12 h) correspond to the
24 hours of a day.
The time "O" is represented by the digit 12 on the dial.

Second-hand : The second-hand should indicate the time on which we

have set hour watch at the start of initialisation.
Here, the importance can be perceived of exactly setting
the minute-hand on the "12" of the dial.

Push-button P2 : The push-button operates as corrector.

Each pressure received advances the hand by one step (1
minute on the dial) thus, accessing the time setting.
After the 23rd hour the hand returns to 12 on the dial
which corresponds to the hour "O".

Push-button Pl : Pressure on this push-button confirms the storage in

memory of the time and puts an end to the initialisation
cycle.
Push the crown into position 0.
