3. Подешавање и почетни рад

3.1. Навијање сата

Your Longines Spirit Chronograph is an automatic mechanical watch. It is powered by the movement of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for an extended period, it may need to be manually wound:

1. Unscrew the crown (if it is a screw-down crown) by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the crown out to position 1 (first click).
3. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide sufficient power reserve to start the watch.
4. Push the crown back in and screw it down securely to ensure water resistance.

3.2. Подешавање времена

1. Unscrew the crown (if applicable) and pull it out to position 2 (second click). The small seconds hand will stop.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands. To avoid confusion between AM/PM for date change, advance the hands past 12 o'clock. If the date changes, you are in the AM hours.
3. Once the desired time is set, push the crown back to position 0 and screw it down securely.

3.3. Одређивање датума

The date should ideally be set when the watch hands are not between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the date mechanism.

1. Unscrew the crown (if applicable) and pull it out to position 1 (first click).
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to set the date.
3. Once the desired date is displayed, push the crown back to position 0 and screw it down securely.

3.4. Подешавање каиша

The watch features a brown calfskin leather strap with a tang buckle. To adjust the fit:

1. Провуците крај каиша кроз копчу.
2. Insert the tang (pin) into the desired hole on the strap for a comfortable fit.
3. Ensure the strap is not too tight, which can restrict circulation, or too loose, which can cause the watch to slide excessively.

4. Operating the Chronograph Function

The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time independently of the main time display.

4.1. Starting the Chronograph

Press the upper pusher (A) once to start the central chronograph second hand. The 30-minute and 12-hour counters will also begin to advance.

4.2. Stopping the Chronograph

Press the upper pusher (A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time can be read from the central second hand, the 30-minute counter, and the 12-hour counter.

4.3. Resetting the Chronograph

After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher (B) once to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.

4.4. Отпорност на воду

Your watch has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (330 feet). This makes it suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

5.1. Чишћење

Да бисте одржали изглед вашег сата:

5.2. Складиштење

Када не носите сат, чувајте га на хладном и сувом месту, даље од директне сунчеве светлости и јаких магнетних поља. Оригинална кутија сата је идеална за складиштење.
