Precautions concerning waterresistance
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.

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.
COMPLICATIONS L899 5
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 backward 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.
Moon phase correction
Pull the crown out to position 2, and turn it forward until the full moon
appears in the centre of the moon phase window. Find out the date of the last
full moon, and turn the crown forward through as many revolutions as the
number of days elapsed since the last full moon, then push the crown back into
position 1. During this operation, your watch will continue to run; no time
adjustment will be required.
