I WINDINGS
Models with a screwed crown
To ensure that they remain water-resistant , some models are fitted with a screwed crown. Before
setting the time or date* or day*, you must first unscrew the crown into position IB before you can
pull it out into position II or III.
Important: After each operation, you must always screw the crown back down to ensure that your
watch remains water-resistant.
Hand winding
Hand-wound watches must be wound every day. To do so, turn the crown clockwise to position I.
The spring is full when the crown cannot be moved under normal power. Please stop wound the
crown any more, or else the spring will be broken or affect its elasticity. If it is the non-full
movement , only need to circumvolve the crown 20 circles . The spring will last about 30 hours
continuous working when the crown is circumvolved full clockwise. We suggest you with the habit
of winding your watchevery night before sleep.
It is also recommended to wind the watch at the same time every day for consistency. As a good
practice, it is probably best to wind your manual watch in the morning each day before use to
ensure the highest quality performance.
If you do need to manually wind your mechanical watch, do so before putting it on your wrist. If
you are wearing the watch as you try to turn the crown, you could end up putting unnecessary
stress on the winding stem that will cause long-term damage.
When winding your watch,continue to twist until you feel resistance as the mainspring tightens.
Once you feel resistance, stop! Any further strain can cause the mainspring to break.
Automatic (self-winding)
For automatic watch ,turn the crown clockwise to position I
( approximately ten turns ). The automatic winding system
then ensures it is fully wound. Automatic watch needs to be
worn morethan 8 hours every to ensure it work well as the
spring winded itself by the movement of your arms. The
time tolerance is +- 60s/day in normal case.
II SETTINGS
Note: Please take due account of the previous information if your watch is fitted with a
screwed crown.
Setting the time
Pull the crown out to position III and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to set the desired time.
On some models with a seconds hand, you can synchronize it with an official time signal (radio/
TV/Internet). When the crown is pulled out in position III, the seconds hand is stopped. As soon
as the time setting has been synchronized, push the crown back down into position I(and tighten
it back down on models with a screwed crown).
Fast correction of the date* and day*
Window calendar
Pull the crown out to position II and turn it clockwise until the correct date is displayed ,
counterclockwise until the correct day is displayed. During this operation, your watch will continue
to function normally, so you will not need to alter the time.
Sub dial calendar
Push the button A to correct the day,
button B to correct the date. During
this operation, your watch will continue
to function normally, so you will not
need to alter the time.

III RECOMMENDATIONS AND CARE
The watch is both designed and manufactured with great care. It contains a great number of very
delicate components, which is why we encourage you to be careful, avoid any impact to the watch
as well as keep it away from extreme conditions.Furthermore, a watch is something rare in that it
works continuously, 24 hours a day. For optimal reliability and for the longevity of your watch, we
recommend the following maintenance schedule:
A Regular Maintenance adjustment every 3 to 4 years.
A Complete Service every 5 years.
Furthermore,to safeguard your watch please read the following recommendations for use and care:
DAY-TO-DAY CARE
To preserve the brilliance of both your watch and its metal
bracelet, if necessary, we recommend you brush it gently
using a soft brush ( a soft toothbrush, for example ) and
warm soapy water. When you have finished , rinse it
carefully with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth.
The same cleaning is recommended after swimming
with your watch in the ocean or a swimming pool
(only with 10ATM or above model ). Before cleaning
your watch, make certain that the crown is tightly
closed (pressed or screwed-down, depending on the
model)
LEATHER STRAPS
The life span of a leather strap depends on how often it is worn and under what conditions.
To protect your leather strap for as long as possible, we recommend you keep it away from water,
humidity, oils and cosmetics, and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
RUBBER STRAPS
The life span of a rubber strap depends on how often it
has been worn and under what conditions. To conserve
your rubber strap for as long as possible, we recommend
you keep it away from oils and cosmetics and avoid
prolonged exposure to sunlight. Solvents, oils,
perspiration, tanning lotions and salt can cause rubber
to deteriorate if not removed.Furthermore, you may clean
your rubber strap with soapy water.
INACTIVITY WATCH MAINTENANCE
In the event that your watch will not be worn for several months, we recommend you wind your
mechanical watch regularly so that the oils do not seize, thus disrupting proper functioning of
the movement.
WATER-RESISTANCE
We strongly recommend you have your watch checked every 12
months to guarantee it remains fully water-resistant.
When a watch is water-resistant its movement is protected from
dust, humidity and any risk of damage caused by immersion.
The water-resistance of a watch comes from its joints.
Because these joints are exposed to different types of external
stress ( cosmetics, perspiration , temperature changes ), your
watch may become less water-resistant with time.
IMPORTANT:
Do not pull on the crown or press in case of damage due to water when it submerged in
watch.
CHEMICALS
Avoid direct contact with any solvents, detergents, perfumes or cosmetic products which may
damage the bracelet, the case or the joints.
MAGNETIC FIELDS
Our environment experiences increasing levels of disturbances caused by magnetic sources.
These disturbances may affect the proper functioning of your watch.
A mechanical watch is sensitive to strong magnetic fields. In certain cases, a disturbance may
magnetize the steel components inside the movement, especially the spiral spring. Certain
components could become attracted to one another causing the watch to suddenly jump forward
and then stop. If this happens, the watch needs to be de-magnetized.
TEMPERATURE
We recommend avoiding extreme temperatures as well as any sharp temperature fluctuations.
