drying out, or an accidental shock to the crown. To help maintain yourwatch’s

sea water and having its water-resistance checked once a year byan 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 underwaterand ensure that the crown and
push-pieces are pushed in or screwed down before any immersion in water.

When the watch is wound manually or automatically, the outer disc E turns
clockwise until the reserve has been fully restored.
If the watch is wound beyond the reserve, discs E and F turn simultaneously
clockwise by the same value.
When the reserve is running low, the central disc F turns clockwise and
indicates the number of hours remaining on disc E.

Pull the crown out to position 3 when the seconds hand is at 60. Turn the
crown either way to the desired time display. As soon as the time is
synchronised, push the crown back into position 1. If you have not been
wearing your mechanical watch, it needs to be wound manually through thirty
revolutions or so.
Avoid any quick date correction between 20:00 and 03:00.

Pull the crown out to position 2, and then turn it forward to the desired date
display. During this operation, your watch will continue to run; no time
adjustment will be required. The date needs to be corrected after every month
