Self-winding split-seconds chronograph

Operating instructions2

• Pusher B: reset (after a stop).

Note: the chronograph must always be stopped before the zero

resetting function is used. Never push the chronograph’s two pushers

(A and B) simultaneously (calibre 3612).

Chronograph functions with split-seconds:

The split-seconds function allows split times to be recorded whilst the

chronograph is running.

1. Start the chronograph by pressing pusher (A) (start).

2. To record a split time, press pusher (C). The split-seconds hand (D)

stops, indicating the split time, whilst the chronograph continues

running.

NB: the split time should be read immediately, since the chrono-

graph totalisers for hours (G), minutes (E) and seconds (F) continue

to measure the elapsed time.

For calibre 3600 only: whilst the chronograph is running, do not

leave the split-seconds hand (D) stopped any longer than is neces-

sary to read the split time, otherwise the functioning of the split-

seconds mechanism may be affected.

3. Press pusher (C) for the split-seconds hand to catch up with the

chronograph seconds hand (F).

4. To record a new split time, start from step 2 above.

5. Press pusher (A) to stop the chronograph.

6. Press pusher (B) to reset.

NB: the split-seconds hand (D) must have caught up with the chro-

nograph seconds hand (F) as explained in step 3 before the chrono-

graph mechanism is reset/zeroed.

Perpetual calendar

Operating instructions2

CALIBRE 1680 (fig. V)

The particularity of the Gregorian calendar is that one day (29th

February) is added to the year every four years to compensate for the

length of the solar year, which is 365.242192 days, or almost 365 1/4

days. Such years are called leap years and their number (for example

1996) is divisible by 4.

As the compensation of one day every four years is too much, every

100 years (2100, 2200, …) the year is not a leap year, even though it

is divisible by four. However, even this is not totally sufficient, since it

leaves an error of one day every 400 years. Therefore, if the number

of the year is divisible by 400 it is a leap year, as was the case with

the year 2000. Because of this, the perpetual calendar of your watch

is set to function correctly until 2100.

Thermocompensation

This movement is 10 times more precise than a conventional quartz

movement thanks to an electronic module that compensates for the

effects of temperature on the movement’s operation.

The crown has 3 positions:

Watch functions:

1.1.

Neutral position 1, normal when the watch is worn: in this

position, the crown ensures that the watch is water-resistant.

1.2. Setting the hands, minutes and seconds:

Pull the crown out to position 3 when the second hand is at

12 o’clock. The seconds hand will stop. Turn the crown forwards

or backwards to set the minute hand. Push the crown back into

position 1 to coincide with a given time.

NB: To avoid inadvertently changing the date when setting

the time, it is important to always follow point 1.2 and then

point 1.3.
