with technical excellence and timeless elegance.
La Compagnie des Montres Longines, Francillon S.A. grants you, with effect
from the purchase date, a twenty-four (24) month warranty on all LONGINES®
watches models and a five (5) year warranty on the automatic watches purchased
from January 1, 2021, under the terms set out in this warranty. 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 warranty certificate has been dated and fully completed by an official
LONGINES dealer (“valid warranty certificate”). During the term of the

have any defect repaired free of charge. In the event that repairs cannot
restore your LONGINES watch to full working order, La Compagnie des Montres
Longines, Francillon S.A. undertakes to replace it with an identical LONGINES
watch or another LONGINES watch with similar characteristics. The warranty for
the replacement watch expires on the same date as the warranty for the
replaced watch.
The warranty does not cover:

- harm of any nature whatsoever resulting directly or indirectly from using the LONGINES watch or from any operational failure, defect or lack of precision in the watch;
- a LONGINES watch having being handled by a non-approved person (for example, for the purposes of replacing the battery or carrying out servicing or repairs) or having been altered from its original state other than under the supervision of La Compagnie des Montres Longines, Francillon S.A.

We are delighted you have become the owner of a LONGINES watch. We recommend you read this instruction manual carefully before using your LONGINES watch for the first time in order to ensure its correct operation and long life. If you would like more information about your watch or if it is fitted with a complication, you can find detailed information and tutorials by going to our website at www.longines.com/instruction-manual or by scanning the QR code.
Precautions concerning waterresistance
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 ircumstances 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.

Screw-in crown
Some LONGINES models are fitted with a screw-in crown which must be unscrewed
before setting the time or winding the watch, by turning anti-clockwise. After
setting the time or winding, return the crown to position 1, then push it back
in and screw it in firmly in order to ensure the watch’s water-resistance.
Setting the time
Pull the crown out to position 2 and turn it forwards or backwards until the
desired time is displayed. Once the time is correctly set, push the crown back
in to position 1.
If you have not worn your mechanical watch, manual winding (30 or so turns) is
necessary.
