GLOSSARY
Bellows:
The bellows are the two reservoirs located at 6 o’clock. They are made of a
highly esistant and flexible alloy, which is four times finer than a human
hair. The movement compresses the left bellow which is emptied of its coloured
liquid. The other bellow then fills up, and vice versa, moving the liquid in
the capillary, and with it the meniscus that shows the time.
Capillary:
This tube, made from top quality glass, such as is used in the medical
industry, is circular and contains two immiscible liquids. A surface treatment
is applied to the inside of the capillary, which allows the two liquids to
move without adhering to the glass.
Fluid module:
To create a liquid time indicator that is compact and wearable, HYT has
developed a completely new hi-tech concept, using two flexible bellows at each
end of a capillary tube. The system is sealed in accordance with the strictest
standards applied in the aerospace industry, with each bellow containing
immiscible liquids. The exclusive patented fluid module represents this
complete system.
Meniscus:
The two liquids are separated by their intrinsic repulsive properties. The
meniscus marks the separation surface of the liquids in the tube, showing the
time.
Rewind:
When the coloured liquid gets to 6 o’clock (zone II), it goes into rewind mode
and flows back to its original position (zone I).
WARRANTY
In this manual, you will find basic instructions for the use and maintenance
of your watch.
Each HYT watch has an individual identification number, which guarantees both
its authenticity and the fact that all work related to its creation was
supervised by a master watchmaker [sic].
Each HYT watch has a fluid module1. This mechanism allows the time to be
displayed through a meniscus. The meniscus marks the limit between the two
immiscible fluids in the capillary.
The movement of the watch drives the module through the bellow set on the main
plate. Only a professional watchmaker approved by HYT can replace this fluid
system. It also has a unique serial number.
On the card you received when you purchased your watch is a QR code that gives
you access to this document which serves as a warranty certificate for your
HYT watch.
The warranty is activated when you purchase from our network of HYT approved
dealers.
You must show your warranty card to be eligible to use the warranty for any
repairs or checks.
Your HYT watch is guaranteed against any manufacturing defect for five years
as of the date of purchase, if the watch was bought from an approved HYT
dealer. Nonetheless, this warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect
handling or use of the watch.
For any service, repair or maintenance work, please make sure that you only
use dealers approved by HYT or our customer service department. You will find
the list of our network of approved dealers on our website
www.hytwatches.com.
Any repair or maintenance work carried out by third parties not approved by
HYT automatically voids the warranty. The damage caused must then be repaired
at your expense.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Your HYT watch is set and ready to wear.
The time is displayed with two liquids. One is coloured and the other is
transparent. One shows the time that has passed, while the other liquid shows
the time to come. Their meeting point is a meniscus in the capillary, i.e. the
time now. Important: if you do not intend to wear the watch for some time,
the coloured liquid must be kept in its own Below (left piston).
To do this, pull the crown into position B, and turn it to put the time
forward to 06:15. Then turn it in the reverse direction to go back to 06:00
precisely. You will note at that moment that the coloured liquid goes into
return mode up to its original position and the transparent liquid takes its
place.
Once the winding stage is finished (coloured liquid in «Zone I»), make sure
the crown remains in time-setting position B. Your watch can now be stored for
a long period.
It is normal to find that a little of the coloured liquid remains visible in
«Zone I».
Manufactured and tested applying very strict standards, the components of your
HYT watch form an airtight assembly. To ensure that it maintains these
properties, we recommend that you have the seals replaced during an inspection
by an approved dealer. Variations in temperature, humidity, perspiration or
repeated impacts can affect its water resistance over the years. We advise you
carry out an inspection every 5 years.
With its waterproof casing, your HYT watch is completely washable. It must be
cleaned regularly using warm soapy water, rinsed and then carefully dried with
a soft cloth.
Following exposure to sea water, rinse your HYT watch in fresh water.
Make sure you do not expose your watch to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) for
too long.
QUICK GUIDE
- Time display (hours) Capillary
- Seconds hand
- Minutes hand
- Power reserve indicator (100% = 72 hours)
- Crown setting
Pos A: winding
Pos B: setting the time (pulled out)
WINDING
Pos. A
INTRODUCTION
This function ensures that the power necessary to operate your watch is
stored by the movement.
HOW TO USE
Wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise as in «A».
SETTING THE TIME
Pos. B
Turning the
crown once is the equivalent of a change of around 15 minutes.
INTRODUCTION
This function allows the time shown on your watch to be set using the
crown.
IMPORTANT
- The microfluids in the capillary move with the gentle rotation of the crown.
- It is recommended that the fluid is moved by only 15 minutes by touching the crown.
HOW TO USE
- Pull the crown out to position «B».
- Then turn the crown in either direction until the coloured liquid (hour display) and the minute hand are at the time required.
REWIND
The automatic return of the coloured liquid (rewind) is allowed by the
pressure of the two bellows. It can take up to 1 minute for it to return from
zone 2 to zone 1. It is strongly advised that you wait for the coloured liquid
to return completely to zone 1 before you continue to set the time.
SETTING THE TIME COUNTER CLOCKWISE
IMPORTANT
When the coloured liquid is in zone 1, do not correct the time in the
direction opposite to the watch hands.
DISPLAY TIME EXAMPLES
POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
INTRODUCTION
The display uses a small hand on the dial which moves in a circular arc
from the «full» (thick) indicator to the «empty» (thin) indicator.
HOW TO USE
- Full indicator
- (72 hours’ power reserve).
- To ensure optimal operation of the watch, we recommend that you check it is fully wound (see WINDING).
