Congratulations
We congratulate you on choosing an automatic chronograph from MIDO®, a Swiss brand among the most highly renowned in the world.
Meticulously designed, using only the highest quality materials and components, your chronograph is protected against impacts, temperature variations, water and dust. To ensure its perfect and accurate operation for many years, we advise you to closely follow
the advice given in this user manual.
Use / Settings
Chronograph function
Press the Stop / Start push button (8) to start the timing operation.
Press the Stop / Start push button (8) again to stop the timing operation.
The timing operation restarts when you press the Stop / Start push button (8) again (time is added), or the two chronograph hands (6, 7) can be reset to zero by pressing the push button (9). This is only used to reset the chronograph hands to zero.
Setting the time
Carefully pull the crown into position II; the seconds hand (3) stops at this point.
Turn the crown forwards or backwards until the hands display the correct time.
Once the hour hand passes the 12 o’clock position, you can see if it indicates midnight (the date changes at this point) or midday (the date does not change).
Fast date correction
Important: Do not set the date between 8 pm and 2 am (the movement is in the process of changing the date at these times).
By pressing the corrector (10) repeatedly, move the disc forward until the desired date (4) is displayed. During this operation, your watch will continue to function normally, so you will not need to alter the time.
Care and maintenance
We would advise you to clean your watch regularly (except for the leather strap) using a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. After immersion in salt water, rinse it in fresh water and leave it to dry completely.
Do not leave it anywhere where it might be exposed to major temperature or humidity variations, direct sunlight or strong magnetic fields. To ensure that you receive the best possible service and the warranty remains valid, always consult an approved MIDO® dealer or agent. The high quality finish mechanism in your MIDO® watch will give you complete satisfaction for many years if properly cared for. However, we recommend that you have your watch checked every 3 to 4 years by your approved MIDO® dealer or
agent.
