you read this instruction manual carefully before using your LONGINES watch
for the first time in order to ensure its correct operation and long life. If
you would like more information about your watch or if it is fitted with a

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.
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.
Push-piece 2
Used for opening the case-back, thereby revealing the movement through a
