Congratulations
We would like to congratulate you on having chosen a MIDO ® auto-
matic chronograph, a Swiss brand among the most highly renowned in the
world. In addition to a chronograph's conventional indicators, this model
also has a date, day, month, moon phases and 24 hour display.
Meticulously assembled using high quality materials and components,
your chronograph is protected against impacts, variations in temperature,
water and dust. To ensure that your chronograph operates with perfect
precision for many years to come, we advise you to pay careful attention
to the advice provided in this manual.
Technical specifications
Calibre MIDO ® 1321 (ETA Valjoux 7751 base), Ø 131/4’’’ (30.00 mm), thickness: 7.90 mm, 25 jewels, 28,800 vib/h, power reserve approx. 46 hours,
anti-impact systems INCABLOC and NIVACOURBE, gold-plated nickel
balance, NIVAROX II spiral, barrel spring NIVAFLEX N O, meticulous finish with blued screws, pearl-set bridges, oscillating weight with Geneva
stripes and etched MIDO ® logo with black fill.
Important information
MIDO® has always been a pioneer in water resistant watches. Before
changing any settings, please follow the instructions below.
Screw-down crown*
To ensure even greater water resistance, certain models are fitted
with a screw-down crown. Before changing a setting, this needs to be
unscrewed.
Important : After any operation, in order to keep the watch's water
resistance, be sure to screw the crown back down, first pressing
it in and then turning it forwards to the end.
Aquadura System*
Certain models have the Aquadura system. This provides you with a
unique system, ensuring maximum water resistance thanks to a cork gasket surrounding the crown stem. Before pulling out the crown, rotate
it by two or three turns.
* Depending on model
Usage / Settings
Winding
Crown (12) in position I/IB (unscrewed**, not pulled out)
Your watch has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. Manual winding is required if you have not worn your watch for this length of time. To
reactivate it, you need only turn the crown a few revolutions (forward) or
swing your watch from side to side a few times. Around 32 revolutions of
the crown (forward) are required to obtain the maximum power reserve.
When wearing your watch, the automatic device winds it every time you
move your wrist.
Note: On this automatic model, there is no end of winding stop.
Setting the time
Crown (12) in position III
Unscrew and pull out the crown (12) to position III with care; the seconds
hand (3) will stop. Turn the crown forwards or backwards to set the
desired time. Once the hour hand passes the 12 o'clock position, you will
be able to see whether it is indicating midnight (the date will change) or
midday (the date will not change).
** Models with screw-down crown
Advice on how to synchronise your watch
To synchronise the seconds hand (3) with an official time signal (radio/TV/
Internet), pull out the crown to position III ; the seconds hand will stop.
Upon hearing the signal, push the crown back into position I and screw
it back down**.
Rapid date (8) and month (10) correction
Pull out the crown (12) to position II, and turn it forward until the desired
date (8) is displayed. During this operation your watch will keep running,
so you will not need to re-set the time.
Rapid moon phase correction (11)
Pull out the crown (12) to position II, and turn it backwards until the desired
moon phase (11) is displayed.
Rapid day correction (9)
Every time you press the push-button, the day will move forward by one (15).
Important :
Never set the date between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., the moon phase
between 3 and 4 a.m., or the day between 9.30 p.m. and midnight.

Care and maintenance
We would advise you to clean your watch regularly (except for the leather
strap) using a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. After immersion in
salty water, rinse it in fresh water and leave it to dry completely.
Do not leave it anywhere subjected to high variations in temperature or
humidity, direct sunlight or strong magnetic fields.
For impeccable maintenance service and for the warranty to remain valid,
always consult a MIDO ® approved dealer or agent.
The intricate finish mechanism of your MIDO ® watch will provide complete satisfaction for many years if you take care of it. However, we recommend you have your watch checked every 3 to 4 years by your MIDO ®
approved dealer or agent.
