Thank you for investing in a ZENITH watch. You are now
wearing a Manufacture watch that has been crafted in
our workshops.
ZENITH is a member of a very select circle of authentic Swiss workshops which develop and produce their
own movements from A to Z. We have been crafting
our watches in the same location since 1865 in our
Manufacture situated at number 34, rue des Billodes in
the town of Le Locle, nestled in the heart of the mountainous valleys of Neuchâtel.
ZENITH has received over 1,565 Prix d’Observatoire
de Chronométrie awards, the rst of which dates back
to 1903 and is thus one of the most widely-acknowledged Swiss brands in terms of precision.

Winding
the watch
Your watch is tted with a mechanical movement. The
movement is wound by either the crown or the action
of the oscillating weight. The watch is wound by the
oscillating weight when worn on the wrist.
When the watch has stopped
Hold your watch and turn the crown at least 30 times.
In this way, the barrel containing the mainspring is
rewound.
To ensure that the automatic winding mechanism
functions correctly, the watch must be worn for at least
12 hours every day for several days. If the watch is not
worn for long enough, it will stop.
If you do not wear your watch at night, you can give it
a few turns of the crown in the morning before putting
it on.
Power-reserve-indicator function
The graded scale displays the remaining power reserve
in hours.
Precision
Under normal conditions of use, the precision discrepancy for an automatic watch is a maximum of 4 to
5 minutes per month in comparison to a standard
watch. However, personalized time setting can be
carried out on request by an authorized ZENITH
representative.

Setting
the time
and date
Setting the time and date will be easier if you hold the
watch rather than wear it. You are advised to turn the
crown gently and regularly.
Time
Watches tted with an Elite movement have a system
for stopping the seconds, which suspends the movement of the balance spring, your watch’s regulating
organ, to enable the time to be set with perfect
accuracy using a master clock. Pull the crown out
two clicks (2); the seconds hand stops. If your watch
displays the date, ensure that you are setting the time
in the correct part of the day, i.e. before or after midday.
Turn the crown in either direction to set the hands on
the time required. On the stroke of the time signal,
press the crown back in. The watch will immediately
start operating.
Simple date and large date (2 disks)
To change the date without risking damage to the
movement, it is essential to position the hands in the
lower part of the dial between 3 and 9 o’clock.
Pull the crown out one click (1) and turn it until the correct date is displayed. The watch does not stop when
the date is being adjusted. Press the crown back in.
Tip: To ensure you set the correct time - before (a.m.)
or after midday (p.m.) - as regards a date change, we
advise that you set the date to the day before the
desired date and then move the hours forwards until
the correct date and time, a.m. or p.m., are obtained.

Setting
the second
time zone
The “24 hour” hand covers a full revolution of the
watch dial every 24 hours (as indicated on the outer
scale numbered 1 to 24). The watch thus displays both
local time and the time in a dierent time zone. The calendar shows the local date. To set the “24 hour” hand
according to the time in the chosen time zone, press
the button (A) on the case adjacent to the 10 o’clock
position. Press once to move the hand forwards one
hour; repeat as many times as required.
Example
When it is 3 p.m. in Paris (local time), it is 9 a.m. in New
York. By setting the “24 hour” hand to 9 a.m., it is always
possible to know the time in New York.

Setting

Zenith Time Tool
For the caliber 691,
Elite CLASS Moonphase Grande Date watch
To adjust the moon phase without risking damage to
the movement, it is essential to position the hands in
the lower part of the dial between 3 and 9 o’clock.
Position the full moon at the center of its aperture by
pressing the corrector on the side of the case several
times using the Zenith Time Tool. Using a moon calendar,
identify the date of the last full moon and count the
number of days between then and today. Press the
corrector the same number of times.
