CHANGING THE DATE AND SETTING THE TIME
1 Normal or winding position
2 Rapid date change
3 Time-setting
Your RAYMOND WEIL watch may be fitted with a
screw-down crown. Before setting the time or changing
the date, it is therefore necessary to unscrew the crown
by pulling it straight out and turning it anti-clockwise.
The crown will then be released by a spring. After
completing all settings, press lightly on the crown,
while turning it clockwise, and screw it back in gently
in order to preserve your watch’s water-resistance.
CHANGING THE DATE
In order to adjust the date rapidly, pull the crown out to
position 2. Then, depending on the model of your watch,
turn the crown forwards or backwards until the desired
date appears in the window located at:
- 12 o’clock for models fitted with an RW 7200 calibre;
- 4 o’clock for models fitted with an RW 7300 calibre.
The date changes as the hour hand passes midnight.
During this operation, your watch will continue to function
and so will not need to be reset.
Do not change the date when the watch is showing a time
between 10 pm and 2 am. The watch’s automatic date
change mechanism engages during this time period and
the movement could be damaged.
After finishing your changes, always push the crown
back in to position 1, in order to preserve your watch’s
water-resistance.
