Setup

2. Setting the Time and Date
- Pull the crown out to the time setting position.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM indicator is correct.
- Push the crown back in to the normal position. The perpetual calendar will automatically adjust the date.

Operating Instructions
1. Chronograph Function
- Press the upper pusher to start the chronograph.
- Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph.

2. Alarm Function
To set the alarm, typically a dedicated sub-dial or mode is used. Consult the full manual for precise steps, which usually involve pulling the crown to an alarm setting position and using pushers to adjust the alarm time.
3. Eco-Drive Power Reserve
The Eco-Drive movement converts any light source into electrical energy, storing it in a power cell. When fully charged, the watch can operate for an extended period in darkness. If the watch stops, expose it to light to recharge.
