Watch functions:
The crown has 3 positions:
Normal position (wearing position): when the crown is positioned against the case, the crown ensures that the watch is water-resistant. Occasional winding: if the watch has not been worn for more than 40 hours or more, wind it up with the crown in position 1.
Correcting the date: pull the crown out to position 2, turn the crown forwards, then push the crown back to position 1.
Correcting the day: for the references 011: pull the crown out to position 2, turn the crown backwards, then push the crown to position 1. Push the crown back in.
NB: For all references: do not correct the date between 22h00 and 02h00.
3.Time setting: hours, minutes and seconds. Pull the crown out to position 3. The seconds hand will stop. Turn the crown forwards or backwards. Synchronize the seconds by pushing the crown back to position 1 to coincide with a given time signal.

Power reserve: for references 94: The small hand places in the counter at 6 o’clock indicates the power reserve. If the automatic mechanical watch is not worn, the power reserve lasts for approximate 42 hours. The power reserve can be increased by winding up the crown manually in position 1 or while wearing the watch on the wrist by the rotation of the oscillation mass.
