Water-resistance
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.
The water-resistance values indicated in metres are equivalent to the overpressure applied under standard ISO 22810.
SETTING THE TIME – GENERAL INFORMATION

- B Hour hand
- C Minute hand
Hour and minute display.
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.
