Adjusting the time and stop seconds
(L697 - 698 - 707)
To synchronise the watch with the official time signal
(radio, telephone, etc.), pull the crown to its furthest
position 3, at the moment when the small seconds hand
is at 60, then push the crown back in again to position 1
at the time signal. The calendar changes every time the
hour hand passes midnight.
This adjustment will also affect the time in a second time
zone, as well as the day and date each time the hand
passes midnight, the adjustment being effected when
the crown is pushed back in to position 1. The day,
date and 24-hour time zone indicators are excluded
from the retrograde sectors when the crown is pulled
out to position 3.
