GUARANTEE
In this manual, you can nd the basic instructions for using and maintaining your watch.
Each HYT watch bears an individual identication number, which guarantees both its
authenticity, and that all the work involved in its creation has been supervised by a master
watchmaker.
Each HYT watch is equipped with a uidic module
0
. The uidic module is the device
which enables the time to be displayed via the meniscus1. The meniscus marks the
boundary between the two immiscible uids in the capillary3. The watch movement drives
the module via the bellows2 xed on the main plate. Only a professional watchmaker
approved by HYT can replace this uidic system. It bears a unique serial number.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USEPRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Your HYT watch is set and ready to be worn.
The meniscus
1
in the capillary3 displays the time continuously while the watch is on your
wrist, even if you wear it in extreme temperatures (0°C to +50°C).
Important : If you plan to not wear the watch for
a while, the coloured liquid has to be stored in its
own reservoir (on the left bellows
2
).
To do this, unscrew the crown and pull it out to
position C (time setting). Allow the coloured liquid
to move into “Zone II” until it starts its retrograde
(ensure the time needed for this movement is
respected). Once the retrograde phase is complete
(coloured liquid in “Zone I”), ensure that the crown
remains in the time setting position C. Your watch
is now ready to be stopped for an extended period.
The capillary
3
is then filled with transparent
liquid (it is possible to still see some coloured
liquid in “Zone I”).
Produced and tested to very stringent criteria, the constituent components of your HYT
watch together form an exceptionally water resistant unit (to a depth of 50 metres).
To ensure these qualities are preserved, we recommend that you replace the gaskets
every 3 years. Temperature variations, moisture, perspiration or repeated impacts may
adversely affect its water resistance over the years.
With its water resistant case, your HYT watch is fully washable. It should be cleaned
regularly in lukewarm, soapy water, rinsed and then carefully dried with a soft cloth. After
exposure to sea water, rinse your HYT watch in fresh water.
