Functioning
Your watch is fitted with the latest in quartz movement technology; an Autoquartz movement. No longer will your watch be powered by a battery, but by the physical phenomenon of gravity. If you wear your watch regularly, the natural movement of your wrist will deliver constant power to the movement, just like an automatic watch. The mechanical energy produced by the movement of your arm is converted to electrical energy and stored in an accumulator which then powers the movement. Thanks to this new technology which provides a constantly renewable energy source, you will no longer need to change your watch battery. Your Autoquartz movement watch will have an available power reserve of 100 days once you have worn it for 40 to 80 days. Your watch may also be wound using the crown.

SETTING BY THE CROWN REMARKS: STORAGE CONDITIONS
Crown 3 positions
Crown in position I: operating position.
The crown is completely pushed in. Normal position when wearing the watch. In this position, the watch can be wound by turning the crown.
Crown in position II: quick date-setting.
The crown is pulled out to the first stop (position II). In this position, the date can be set by turning the crown clockwise. (Turning the crown anti­clockwise will have no effect). The time is neither stopped nor changed.
Crown in position III: hand-setting and storage position.
The crown is completely pulled out (to the second stop). In this position, the time can be set. The second hand stops.
When the hands reach midnight (clockwise), the date will move forward. In this position, the
electronic unit is switched off after 8 minutes (energy consumption reduced). 

Power supply:
The average life of a lithium battery is greater than 15 years. Never replace the lithium battery with an ordinary silver oxide battery as this will completely destroy the Autoquartz movement.
Energy indicator:
Your watch is fitted with an EOE (End of Energy) type energy indicator. When the second hand advances only every 4 seconds, this indicates that a power reserve of less than 16 hours remains. You may rewind your watch or charge it manually by turning the crown for approx. 20 seconds; this will increase the power reserve by 16 hours.

REGLAGE du RéveilREGLAGE de la date
We recommend that you store your watch with the stem pulled out to position III if do not intend to wear it for a prolonged period of time (several weeks or months). This allows you to benefit from the great power reserve advantages that Autoquartz has to offer. For example, after 5 years of storage with the stem pulled out to position III the accumulator will retain approximately 1/3 of its original charge which is the equivalent of approximately 33 days power reserve. If the movement is stored with the crown in neutral position (watch running), the accumulator will lose its charge after 100 days.
Operation:
Storing movements and watches with the stem pulled out significantly reduces the rate at which the accumulator loses power.
Stop:
8 minutes after the crown has been pulled to position III, the movement ceases all activity.
Restart:
Push the crown back to position I and turn clockwise several times in order to start the movement again.
