—Welcome to the small circle of individuals

who, if we are to be absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more than mere appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an ingenious idea. For the interplay between precision and imagination. Between time and timelessness. Between boundaries and infinity. Between laws to which the entire world is subject, and taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why, since 1868, we have been devoting rather more of our time to watches that must not only run with absolute precision but which also, with every passing second, exert a fascination with the great achievements of master craftsmanship: a fascination with new inventions of a technical, material or formal nature, even if they are concealed in minute details that are perhaps not even visible. You are now the owner of a beautiful new example of this IWC tradition. We would like to congratulate you on your choice and send you our best wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which perhaps cannot be described with any greater accuracy than it is here.

IWC MANAGEMENT

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE PILOT'S WATCH WORLDTIMER

Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and seconds, together with the date. A rotating 24-hour ring shows you the current UTC time as well as the current time of day in any desired time zone, provided that its time differs from UTC time by a multiple of a whole hour. As you pass through a time zone, you can adjust the hour hand of your watch in steps without stopping the mechanical movement (Time Zone Corrector = TZC). The date change is also taken into account in this adjustment. The mechanical movement with automatic winding has 31 jewels (synthetic rubies) and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. Your Pilot's Watch Worldtimer is protected by a sapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs' scale. Your watch is water-resistant 6 bar. The soft-iron inner case provides protection against magnetic fields. To ensure that this extraordinary watch continues to perform faultlessly in the future, it is essential to observe a few important operating instructions.

FUNCTIONS OF THE CROWN

IWC SCHAFFER MEXICO SANTIL DELENSVER NEW YORK 24 25 26 23 24 JAL KARACHI BANGKOREA X 012

X - Normal position (screwed in)

0 - Winding position

1 - Hour and date setting

2 - Time setting

NORMAL POSITION

This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown in to its normal position (X) prevents the inadvertent adjustment of the time, the 24-hour world time display or the date and also acts as a double seal to prevent water from seeping into the case. To release the crown, unscrew it by turning it to the left, where it automatically assumes position 0, the winding position. By depressing the crown in position X and turning it to the right at the same time, it is screwed down firmly again and secured.

WINDING POSITION

With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also wind the automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are enough to start the movement. However, it is better to wind the watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions as this will ensure maximum accuracy.

HOUR AND DATE SETTING

Release the screw-in crown and pull it out to position 1. By turning the crown to the left or the right, you can now adjust the hour hand forwards or backwards in one-hour steps. The movement is not stopped by this operation, and the set time in minutes and seconds is unaffected by this adjustment. If the hour hand is adjusted past midnight, the date will move forwards to the next day or backwards to the previous day. This function is used for setting the date or is required when crossing from one time zone to another.

If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date manually to the first day of the following month. By turning the crown to the left, you can now move the hour hand forwards 24 hours in one-hour steps. As the hour hand passes midnight, the date is advanced to the next day. You have now corrected the time display by one day while the movement continues to run.

TIME SETTING

Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60. The minute hand and the 24-hour world time display can now be set (the hour hand is set separately with the crown in position 1). Now move the minute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then position the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand begins to move immediately when you restart the movement. To start the movement, push in the crown to position 0.

Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2, the crown should always be screwed in again for normal use (position X).

SETTING YOUR WATCH CORRECTLY

To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:

• Release the crown by turning it to the left.
• Wind the movement (approximately 20 revolutions of the crown).
• Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60.
• Turn the minute hand and the 24-hour world time display forwards until they indicate the desired time. The 24-hour world time display should be set to show the correct times of the different time zones. Now move the minute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then position the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand begins to move immediately when you restart the movement.
• Push the crown back to position 0 to start the movement and, in doing so, the seconds hand.

• Pull out the crown to position 1.

• Turn the hour hand forwards or backwards in one-hour steps until the date display changes to today's date.

• If you turn the hour hand forwards: The hand will now be positioned between 12 midnight and 1 a.m. Now turn the hour hand forwards to the correct time. If you are setting the watch in the afternoon, you must turn the hand past 12 (noon) again. If you turn the hour hand backwards: The hand will now be positioned between 11 p.m. and 12 midnight. Now turn the hour hand backwards to the correct time. If you are setting the watch in the morning, you must turn the hand past 12 (noon) again.
• Now push the crown to position X and secure it by simultaneously turning it to the right.

UTC (UNIVERSAL TIME COORDINATED)

Regardless of the local time, UTC time is used throughout the world as a uniform reference point for flight schedules. UTC is the time basis for worldwide operational control by the majority of airlines and for air traffic control.

TZC (TIME ZONE CORRECTOR)

Local times throughout the world are, for the most part, divided into time zones with a time difference of exactly one hour between each zone. The function of the TZC (Time Zone Corrector) permits rapid adjustment of the time display in one-hour steps.

READING THE 24-HOUR WORLD TIME DISPLAY

By the rotating 24-hour ring and the fixed city ring, your watch shows the current UTC time and the current time of day in all other time zones separated by a full hour.

NOTE

Once set correctly using the crown, the black-and-white 24-hour ring encircling the dial enables the wearer to read off the time in all 24 time zones, including the current Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). Local time appears in the middle of the 24-hour display, under the city name. Countries which change over to daylight saving time appear on the city ring joined by a line to the next dot. While these countries are on daylight saving time, you can read off the local time from the indicated dot rather than from under the city name.

VITIAGO • S. GEORGIA • LONDON • CAIRO • R. JANEIRO • AZORES UTC PARIS • RIYADH • DUBA 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

Please note that the time changeover in the southern hemisphere takes place 6 months after the time changeover in the northern hemisphere.

When switching from standard to daylight saving time and back, there is no need to adjust the 24-hour display. If you are in a country with a time changeover, you only need to adjust the time shown on the watch itself.

INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE

The International Date Line largely coincides with the 180th degree of longitude on the surface of the earth. Yesterday's date applies if this line is crossed in an easterly direction, and you move into the next day if it is crossed in a westerly direction. The same date applies throughout the entire world only once a day, namely at midnight on the International Date Line.

CHANGING TIME ZONES

When crossing into another time zone, you can set the time display to the appropriate local time. The date display is automatically readjusted by adjusting the hour hand to the actual time zone. The 24-hour world time display is unaffected by this operation.

READING THE TIME IN THE DARK

Both the dial and the hour and minute hands of your watch have luminescent elements that allow you to read the time effortlessly, even in total darkness. The distinctive triangle at 12 o'clock serves as a reference point.

WATER-RESISTANCE

The water-resistance of IWC watches is stated in bar and not in metres. Metres, which are often used elsewhere in the watch industry to indicate water-resistance, cannot be equated with dive depth because of the test procedures that are frequently used. Water-resistance shown in metres provides no indication as to actual use of the watch in the presence of moisture and wetness, and in or under water. Recommendations for use in connection with the water-resistance of your watch can be found on the Internet at www.iwc.com/water-resistance. Your authorized IWC Official Agent will also be pleased to provide you with information.

To ensure that your watch continues to function perfectly, you should have it checked by an IWC service centre at least once a year. Your watch should also be tested after exposure to unusually harsh conditions. If the tests are not carried out as stipulated, or if the watch is opened by unauthorized persons, IWC will accept no warranty or liability claims.

Recommendation: Your authorized IWC Official Agent must carry out a water-resistance test whenever your IWC watch is opened and serviced.

NOTE

Leather is a natural and permeable material. Make sure, therefore, that the high-quality leather strap does not come into contact with water, oily substances, solvents, cleaning agents or cosmetic products. This way you can prevent discoloration and premature ageing of the material.

SERVICING YOUR PILOT'S WATCH WORLDTIMER

Although the parts in this watch are all manufactured from top-quality materials, a number of components are subject to natural wear and tear. It is particularly important to ensure that the points at which wear occurs are always well lubricated and that oil contaminated by metal abrasion is regularly removed. For this reason, we recommend that you have your watch serviced approximately every five years. Please contact an authorized IWC Official Agent or send your watch directly to the IWC Customer Service Department in Schaffhausen.

Effective from November 2011. Technical specifications subject to change.
