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.

When the watch is wound manually or automatically, the outer disc F 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.
Setting the time and stop seconds
- 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.
Quick date correction
- 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 shorter than 31 days. Push the crown back into position 1.
- The date will change when the hour hand passes midnight.
