All watch straps and bracelets are covered by a 24-month international warranty for any material or manufacturing defects. The LONGINES international warranty covers defects in materials and manufacturing that exist at the time of delivery of the LONGINES watch purchased (“defects”).

The warranty for the replacement watch expires on the same date as the warranty for the replaced watch.

Precautions concerning water resistance

A watch’s water-resistance can be affected by changes caused by the gaskets drying out, or an accidental shock to the crown. To help maintain your watch’s water-resistance, we recommend rinsing it in soft water after any contact with sea water and having its water-resistance checked once a year by an approved LONGINES Service Centre. In no circumstances should you open your watch yourself.

IMPORTANT! Never activate the time-setting crown and/or push-pieces when the watch is underwater, and ensure that the crown and push-pieces are pushed in or screwed down before any immersion in water.

WARNING
KEEP THE BATTERY OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
The battery can cause serious injuries if swallowed or placed inside any part of the body. Seek medical attention immediately.

Can time events lasting up to 12 hours
Screw-in crown
Some LONGINES models are equipped with a screw-in crown, which must be unscrewed before setting the time, correcting the date or winding, by turning it anti-clockwise. After making the settings, return the crown to position 1, then push it back in and screw it in firmly to ensure the watch’s water resistance.

First use

THE WATCH IS DELIVERED IN “ENERGY SAVING” MODE The watch hands are factory-set to 12 o’clock, and the crown is held in position 2 by a black clip placed around the winding stem. This part must be removed before first using the watch. Check with your retailer that this operation has been performed. If not, follow the procedure below: Remove the black clip to release the crown. Push the crown back into position 1; the watch is automatically set to the Swiss time and date. You can then set the local time (refer to the “time- setting” section).

IMPORTANT
If the crown is pulled out to position 2 for more than 60 seconds, the watch will automatically revert to “energy saving” mode, and the hands will return to 12 o’clock.

Time-setting

Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown either way to the desired time display. ROTATE THE CROWN SLOWLY to set minute by minute ­ the second hand will automatically return to 12 o’clock. ROTATE THE CROWN QUICKLY to set hour by hour ­ the hand will move one hour forward or backward. As soon as the time is synchronised, push the crown back into position 1.

Date correction

Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown quickly either way, to move the hour hand forward or backward in successive one-hour steps, without affecting the minute and seconds displays. When the hour hand passes midnight, the calendar will automatically display a new date – either the next day or the previous day, depending on the direction of correction. Hence there is a limit of +/- 1 day, so as not to disrupt the perpetual calendar. Push the crown back into position

End of life (E.O.L.) and end of energy (E.O.E.)

The watch indicates that the battery is reaching its end of life via one of its hands jumping every 5 seconds. After approximately six months in this mode, the watch will switch to E.O.E. mode: the hands will stop at 12 o’clock. If the watch battery is replaced in E.O.L. mode or within six months of switching to E.O.E. mode, you will not need to adjust the perpetual calendar. If however the battery is replaced after this period, an approved watchmaker will need to program the perpetual calendar.

Chronograph function (partial times)

Used for measuring successive events, but not the intervals between them. Each result is automatically added to the preceding one. To time the various stages of a car rally, for example, follow the procedure below: At the start of the first stage, press push-piece 2: the chronograph will start. At the end of the first stage, press push-piece 2 again: the chronograph will stop. Repeat for each stage of the rally. At the end of the final stage, the chronograph will show the final time for the rally, in other words, the accumulated time for all the stages. Press push-piece 3 to reset. After 36 hours’ timing, the movement assumes that you have left it on by mistake, and to save the watch battery, automatically resets the chronograph.

Split-seconds function (intermediate time)

At the start of the race, press push-piece 2: the chronograph will start. Press push-piece 3 to see the first split time; the chronograph seconds and 30-minute hands will stop. To continue timing, press push-piece 3. The chronograph hands will jump to the time elapsed since the start of the race. The split-seconds function and stop can be alternated indefinitely by pressing push-piece 3. Press pushpiece 2: the chronograph will stop. The chronograph will now display the total race time. Press push-piece 3 to reset.
