Usage / Settings
Screw-down crown
Your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown at the 3 o'clock position.
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.
Winding
Crown (7) in position
IB, unscrewed,
not pulled
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 stop to indicate it is fully wound.
Setting the time
Unscrew and pull out the crown (7) 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).
Advice on how to synchronise your watch
To synchronise the second hand (3) with an official time signal (radio/TV/
Internet), pull out the crown to position
III
; the second hand will stop. When
you hear the audible signal, push the crown back into position
I
and tighten
it back down.
Second time zone and universal time
The 24 hour hand (4) shows the time in a second time zone on the scale (5)
on the dial. It makes one revolution in 24 hours.
Pull out the crown (
7
) to position II and turn it forwards (B) until the local time
in the second time zone is shown. Then, push the crown back into position
I
and tighten it back down.
During this operation, your watch will continue to function normally, so you
will not need to alter the time.
Quick date correction
Important: Never set the date between 10 pm and 2 am (the movement
is in the process of changing the date).
Pull out the crown (7) to position II and turn it backwards (A) until the
desired date (6) is displayed. Then, push the crown back into position
I
and
tighten it back down.
During this operation, your watch will continue to function normally, so
you will not need to alter the time.
Care and maintenance
We would advise you to clean your watch regularly (except for the leather
strap) using a soft cloth and warm soapy water. After immersion in salty
water, rinse it in fresh water and leave it to dry completely.
Do not leave it anywhere where it might be subjected to major variations in
temperature or humidity, direct sunlight or strong magnetic fields.
To ensure that you receive the best possible service and the warranty remains
valid, always consult an approved MIDO
®
dealer or agent.
The precision finish mechanism in your MIDO
®
watch will give you complete
satisfaction for many years if properly cared for. However, we recommend that
you have your watch checked every 3 to 4 years by your approved MIDO
®
reseller or agent.
