SETTING TIME AND WINDING UP |
| These are the main setting crown positions: |
|
| WINDING UP |
|
To wind the watch set the winding crown to Position 1.
|
|
| |
|
| Turn the crown clockwise approximately 8 - 10 times until you see the second hand start moving. |
|
| |
Attention: |
| |
Do not try to wind the mainspring of the crown up to a stop position as the self-winding mechanism does not have this option and you may ruin the movement. Wind the self-winding watch only out of necessity. The better part of self-winding watches does not need a regular wind up provided you wear it everyday. However if the watch is rarely worn (the watch is not moved therefore the self-winding mechanism is inactive), you will have to wind the mechanism up manually daily (4–5 turns of the crown). |
| CALENDAR SETTING |
|
The calendar is set by means of the crown in position 2.
Turning the setting crown anticlockwise to set the date needed. If the watch has a week day field, set it by turning the crown anti clockwise and the date turn clockwise.
Note: when setting the day and date, turn the crown smoothly. The date mechanism is very fragile.
Do not pull the crown out hard, if it does not come out smoothly; pull it gently with slight turning but never put stress on it |

Attention: |
| |
Do not set the calendar if the hands of the watch show the time between 9:00 and 4:00. During this period the mechanism of the calendar switches into action. To avoid any malfunction put the hands of the watch back or forward before the calendar setting. |
| TIME SETTING |
|
Pull out the crown to Position 3. |
|
| |
|
|
By turning the setting crown clockwise, set the time needed. Do not try to do it in a single prolonged movement, but wind it in short abrupt movements. All Ollech & Wajs watches have a hacking second hand. You will note when the crown is in position 3 the second hand is not moving, this is normal. When the exact second of the time occurs, gently press the crown and the watch is set to the exact time to the second. |
|
| |
|
| Put the setting crown back to Position 1. |

| RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE: |
- Strikes and Vibration: Although the watch has an antistrike balance of node, it does not prevent any mechanical damage if it falls from a considerable height or when the watch endures a blow.
- Moisture Protection: in accordance with the International ISO Classification the "Water Resistant 30m 100ft" level allows to keep the watch under the rain as well as run your hands under the tap with the watch on. In these cases the water does not splash that hard. However, the watch will be ruined if you swim wearing it or if the watch falls into the water.
- Periodical Checking: we recommend you to have a regular prophylactic inspection in a watch repair shop every 2–3 year.
- Injurious Effects: keep your watch away from the influence of any chemicals, magnetic field, sudden temperature drops.
