BIG DATE (7331)

Name of Parts and Functions

Manufactured in Switzerland, the BIG DATE Movement is a highly complex quartz movement. Watch
insiders call this type of movement a “Complication” due to its intricate mechanics and engineering.

While the date must be changed once a month, watch and fashion enthusiasts believe that this only adds
character to an already exceptional watch.

How to Set Time and Date

Time

Pull crown out two clicks to position “3” as shown above. Once
in position “3,” turn the crown in a counter-clockwise (down)
direction. See indicator “A” in diagram.

Once you have reached the correct hour and minute setting, press
the crown all the way in to position “1” as shown in the drawing.

When setting the hour be sure that the date jumps so that you can properly set the time to AM or PM.

Date

NOTE: Your Big Date calendar shows the date with two digits. The 5th of a month will appear as “05.” The

date indicator is a complication using two disks to illustrate date function.

Pull crown out one click to position “2” as shown in drawing. Once in position “2,” turn the crown in a
counter-clockwise (down) direction. See indicator “B” in diagram.

Once you have reached the desired date, push the crown back to position “1.” NOTE: Your date must be

corrected manually at the beginning of each new month.

AUTOMATIC WINDING MOVEMENT

A timepiece fitted with an automatic winding movement obtains the power to wind itself by the movement
of your wrist. It is important that your timepiece is adjusted to match the size of your wrist. A loose fit may
result in a loss in capacity of the timepiece to wind itself. When fully wound, your timepiece has a power­reserve of approximately 38 hours. If the timepiece has not been worn for over 38 hours it will stop and have
to be worn again to restore power and function.

WATER RESISTANCE

All MICHELE timepieces are designed with a minimum water-resistance rating of 3ATM (100ft/30m).

The water-resistance of a timepiece protects the movement from, dust, moisture, and risk of damage to the
movement should it be immersed in water.

Please see chart for guidelines for recommended exposure of various water ratings.

It is important not to attempt to adjust the position of the crown while the timepiece is in contact with water.
Water can enter the case causing damage to the movement.

For timepieces with screw-down crowns, it is important to ensure the crown is in the proper position and
completely locked before contact with water.

For timepieces with chronograph functions, do not engage the chronograph under water, as water may leak
in the case and cause damage to the movement.

CARE AND PRECAUTIONS

Each MICHELE timepiece is designed and manufactured to exceed the highest of standards. Unlike most other
mechanical objects, a watch operates non-stop. In order to ensure optimal performance and longevity from your
timepiece, please review the simple guidelines for care and precautions of your new MICHELE timepiece.

Care

Your timepiece should be cleaned with a soft cloth and water only. Do not submerge your timepiece. Your
timepiece should be wiped clean and dried with a soft cloth after any saltwater use. In order to maintain
the “new look” of metal bracelets, we recommend periodic cleanings of the bracelet. Remove bracelet
from case and dip a soft brush in warm soapy water and gently rub bracelet clean. We advise having your
timepiece serviced every 18-24 months to ensure long use and trouble free operation.

Your strap requires care and caution. The natural material used to manufacture your strap is delicate and
sensitive to the elements. Water, sunlight, exposure to chemicals or perspiration will cause discoloration,
shrinkage and damage to your strap. Use a soft cloth to wipe your strap clean when removing your watch.

All rubber, silicon rubber and stainless steel bracelets are water-resistant. They are recommended for more
active lifestyles.

Please treat your strap with care and attention. It will keep you in fashion.

Precautions

Your timepiece is a complex integration of parts and components brought together by skilled craftsmen.
There are certain actions or environmental situations that may damage or impede your timepiece’s ability
to perform optimally.

19

It is important to avoid the following conditions: extreme heat or cold, as well as prolonged periods of
exposure to direct sunlight, exposure to wet conditions that exceed your timepieces’ water rating (see
case back and chart). Never operate any of the function buttons or crown when timepiece is in contact
with water.

Your timepiece should not be affected by magnetic fields generated by household items such as televisions
and stereos, but avoidance of other strong electric fields or static electricity, which may interrupt mechanism,
is suggested. It is also important to avoid extreme shock or impact.

THE ELAPSED TIME BEZEL

(For models having rotating bezels.) The elapsed time ratchet bezel is unidirectional and will only rotate in
one direction – counter-clockwise. This is to insure that it remains fixed in the required position.

20

HOW TO CHANGE STRAPS

Push metal tab inward until the pin is released.
Repeat this process in reverse to re-insert the new strap.

21

HOW TO CHANGE BRACELETS

Lift up both tabs.
Push tabs toward each other to release pin.
To re-attach, hold the bracelet against a firm surface, depress the tabs inward, and attach the head.
