You have chosen a Hublot watch; you are about to enter a whole new world…
Every piece cultivates its distinction, to assert its powerful and incredible personality every time. Yet this formidable wealth of materials, functions, colours and
shapes, gives rise to a singular watchmaker: Hublot.
Committed to the concept of “the Art of Fusion” and fuelled by this spirit of
innovation, the Swiss watchmaking manufacture Hublot represents the link
between watchmaking tradition and modernity, creating fusions of unexpected
high-performance elements such as carbon, zirconium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, ceramic and aluminium with more conventional materials such as gold, steel,
diamonds and precious stones – while developing traditional movements, always
with an innovative and creative design.
This fundamental concept makes your watch a unique timepiece. As you turn
this page, you will enter the world of the Big Bang, Classic Fusion and King
Power… – where each watch attests to the fusion between tradition and
innovation.
MANUAL INSTRUCTION
The card at the end of your Hublot kit is an electronic warranty certicate, which
contains your watch’s identity code, and also grants you privileged access to
the Hublotista area available on the Hublot website (www.hublot.com). The card
must be activated electronically, or completed and the Hublot stamp applied.
Each Hublot watch bears an individual identication number, which proves its
authenticity. Your Hublot watch is guaranteed against all manufacturing defects
for a period of two years from the date of purchase, provided that the watch
was purchased from an approved Hublot retailer. However, this warranty does
not cover damage caused by inappropriate use or handling of the watch.
For any repair during the warranty period, please enclose with the watch the
pre-activated warranty card signed by an approved Hublot retailer, an exhaustive
list of which can be found on our website.
Should the watch require any kind of servicing, please contact an approved
Hublot retailer or After-Sales service centre only, the contact details of which can
be found on the Hublot website.
All repairs or servicing work carried out by third parties not authorised by Hublot
will automatically invalidate your warranty; in which case any damage would
be rectied at your expense.

RECOMMENDATIONS & CARE
The constituent parts of your Hublot watch are all of the nest quality,
and
inspected under extremely stringent criteria. They combine to form a piece with
exceptional water resistance, which may reach 4000 metres. To preserve these
qualities, we recommend a complete overhaul every 3 to 5 years, since temperature variations, humidity, perspiration and repeated shocks may affect its water
resistance as the years go by.
With its water resistant case and rubber, ceramic or carbon strap, or gold or steel
bracelet, your Hublot watch can be washed easily. If the watch has an alligator
strap, you are advised to take it off when bathing. Clean it regularly in lukewarm
soapy water, rinsing and wiping down carefully with a soft cloth. After wearing
your Hublot watch in seawater, please rinse it in fresh water.

ENGLISH
SCREW-IN CROWN
This type of crown offers excellent protection to ensure the case’s water
resistance.
The crown has to be unscrewed before any operation and must be screwed
back in fully afterwards.
This type of crown can be found only on diving watches guaranteed water
resistant beyond 300 m in depth.
USE
1. Unscrew the crown before any operation.
2. Press the crown rmly against the case while screwing it back in.
Occasionally, check that the crown is screwed in correctly.
The Big Bang model does not have a screw-in crown because this watch
is equipped with the latest technology of a double protective gasket,
ensuring water resistance to 100 m.

WINDING
This function accumulates the energy required by your watch to run properly.
USE
Self-winding
This term means that your watch automatically stores the energy generated
by your arm movements when the watch is worn on your wrist.
If your watch has not been worn for some time and has stopped, you must wind
it manually by rotating the crown clockwise through approximately ten turns.
See drawing.
For models with screw-in crowns, do not forget to screw the crown back
in completely to ensure its water resistance.

DATE SETTING
This function enables you to set the date displayed by the watch rapidly, without
changing the time, using only the crown.
It is strongly recommended not to make this correction between 8 pm
and 1 am, as the calendar disc is “engaged” during this period, so the
operation might damage the mechanism.
USE
1. Pull the crown out to position 2.
2. Turn the crown clockwise (or anti-clockwise, according to the model) until
the desired date appears in the window.
3. Press the crown back in completely against the case.
For models with screw-in crowns, do not forget to screw the crown back
in completely to ensure its water resistance.

TIME SETTING
This function enables you to set the time of your watch using the crown.
When performing this operation, make sure that the calendar date change
is at midnight and not at midday.
USE
1. Pull the crown out to position 3 (or position 2 if the watch does not have a date
function), at the exact moment when the seconds hand is at the 12 o’clock
position; the hand will then stop.
2. Then turn the crown either way to set the hour and minute hands to the
desired time.
3. Press the crown back in completely against the case; the watch will restart.
For models with screw-in crowns, do not forget to screw the crown back
in completely to ensure its water resistance.

BATTERY
Quartz watches are powered by a battery. The battery needs to be changed
if the watch exhibits time loss, stops completely, or if the seconds hand jumps
in 4-second steps. Take advantage of battery replacements to have the gaskets
and crown checked, and if necessary have them replaced, by an approved
Hublot retailer.

ROTATING BEZEL OR FLANGE
Only diving models are equipped with this function. It lets the wearer know the
remaining dive time at any moment, or can be used to measure the various
decompression stages to be followed before rising to the surface.
To ensure maximum safety, the bezel has been designed to rotate in one
direction only.
USE
When used by a diver, the rotating bezel must be set to zero (uorescent pointer
on the graduation) so that the time taken by the minute hand to reach this point
shows the desired dive time. When the minute hand reaches zero on the rotating
bezel, the diver must have surfaced.
Lift up the guard to release the crown, then unscrew it and set the dive time.
Screw the crown back in properly and re-close the guard.
CHRONOGRAPH
The chronograph function enables you to measure a time.
The dial features 2 or 3 counters:
For 301/311/703 models
The hour counter is at the bottom, and the minute counter on the right;
the left-hand counter shows the elapsing time, and the seconds are counted
by the central direct-drive hand.
For 341/342/521/541 models
The hour counter is at the bottom, and the minute counter on the left; the righthand counter shows the elapsing time, and the seconds are counted by the
central direct-drive hand.
For 317/318 models
The 45-minute counter is on the left, while the right-hand counter shows the
elapsing time; the seconds are counted by the central direct-drive hand, and
there is no hour counter. The Chukker Bang model is equipped with a 7.5-minute
counter.
For 716/732/748 models
The minute counter occupies the entire dial (central hand). The left-hand counter
shows the elapsing time. The central minute counter is 45-min, 48-min or 60-min,
according to the model.

FLYBACK FUNCTION
If your watch is equipped with the yback function (e.g. UNICO movement), you
can switch between timing measurements with a single press, instead of three.
1. Activate the chronograph by pressing push-piece (A).
2. To go directly to the next sequence, press push-piece (B), which will restart
your chronograph with a new time measurement.
SPLIT-SECONDS FUNCTION
If your watch is equipped with the split-seconds function (e.g. 315/715 or
719 models), which means that you can use the chronograph to determine
a split time while continuing to measure a time:
1. Hold down the crown push-piece (C) – or “split” push-piece for the
719 model – once the chronograph is running: a split-seconds hand
under the direct-drive hand will stop, to indicate a split time.
2. Press the crown push-piece (C) again – or the “split” push-piece for the
719 model – the split-seconds hand will instantly catch up to the direct-drive
hand so that they are superimposed.
