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.

Screw-in crown
Some LONGINES models are equipped with a screw-in crown, which must be unscrewed before setting the time, correcting the date or winding, by turning it anti-clockwise. After making the settings, return the crown to position 1, then push it back in and screw it in firmly to ensure the watch’s water resistance.

Avoid setting the time while the chronograph function is in use

Setting the time and stop seconds
Pull the crown out to position 2 when the small seconds hand (situated at 9 o’clock) 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.
Before each timing operation, the chronograph hands must be at their start point.
