USER MANUAL Pilot Worldtimer 3262 IWC

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 pos ition 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. X 0 1 2— 25 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer 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 turn- ing the crown to the left or the right, you can now adjust the hour hand forwards or backwards in one-hour steps. The move- ment 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.— 26 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer 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 pos- ition 0.— 27 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in pos itions 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 for- wards 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.— 28 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer – 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 sim- ultaneously 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.— 29 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer 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.— 30 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer 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. Please note that the time changeover in the southern hemi- sphere 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.— 31 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer utc diFFerence – cities in each time zone 0 London, Lisbon, Las Palmas, Casablanca, Porto +1 Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, Berlin, Warsaw, Vienna, Frank- furt, Milan, Prague, Rome, Madrid, Zurich, Geneva, Amster- dam, Barcelona, Copenhagen +2 Cairo, Helsinki, Athens, Beirut, Johannesburg, Kiev, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, Sofia, Jerusalem +3 Riyadh, Kuwait City, Nairobi +4 Dubai, Moscow, Port Louis, Abu Dhabi, Muscat +5 Karachi, Malé +6 Dhaka, Almaty, Novosibirsk +7 Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta +8 Beijing, Hong Kong, Manila, Bandar Seri Begawan, Kuching, Perth, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei +9 Tokyo, Seoul, Sapporo +10 Sydney, Canberra, Hagåtña, Melbourne +11 Nouméa, Port Vila, Anadyr +12 Auckland, Suva, Wellington (Date Line) –11 Samoa, Midway –10 Hawaii, Papeete –9 Anchorage –8 Los Angeles, Vancouver, San Francisco, Seattle –7 Denver, Edmonton, Salt Lake City, El Paso— 32 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer –6 Mexico City, Chicago, Winnipeg, Guatemala City, San Salva- dor, Managua, Houston, New Orleans –5 New York, Ottawa, Havana, Port-au-Prince, Panama City, Miami, Boston, Atlanta, Bogotá, Lima, Washington D.

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.— 33 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer changing time zones When crossing into another time zone, you can set the time dis- play to the appropriate local time. The date display is automatical- ly 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 effortless- ly, even in total darkness. The distinctive triangle at 12 o’clock serves as a reference point.— 34 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer 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 wet- ness, and in or under water. Recommendations for use in connec- tion 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 un- usually harsh conditions. If the tests are not carried out as stipu- lated, 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.— 35 — pilot’s Watch Worldtimer 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 nat- ural 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 ap- proximately 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.— 37 — montre d’aviateur heure universelle Bienvenue dans le cercle restreint de ceux qui, à dire vrai, attendent un peu plus de leur montre que la précision. Le plaisir qu’une montre peut procurer excède sa simple fonction première de donner l’heure exacte. C’est l’admi- ration à l’égard d’une idée fascinante. De l’alliance de la précision et de l’imagination. Du temps et de l’intemporalité. Des limites et de l’infini. Des lois auxquelles le monde entier se réfère, et du goût, personnel par définition. C’est pourquoi, depuis 1868, nous consacrons un peu plus de temps à des montres qui ne doivent pas seulement être d’une précision absolue, mais aussi expri- mer à chaque instant la fascination qui émane de prouesses arti- sanales d’exception, à travers des innovations de nature technique, matérielle ou formelle, même si celles-ci résident dans des détails infimes qui, peut-être, ne sont même pas visibles. Vous possédez aujourd’hui un bel exemple de cette tradition IWC. Nous tenons à vous en féliciter cordialement, tout en formant nos meilleurs vœux pour ces nombreuses heures en compagnie de votre montre qu’il est peut-être impossible de décrire avec davantage de précision – qu’ici. la direction iWc— 38 — montre d’aviateur heure universelle les raFFinements techniques de la montre d’aviateur heure universelle Votre montre IWC vous indique le temps en heures, minutes et secondes ainsi que la date. Un anneau rotatif des 24 heures vous présente constamment le temps UTC actuel ainsi que l’heure du jour actuelle de tous les fuseaux horaires, dont l’heure diverge du temps UTC d’un multiple d’une heure complète. En cas de franchissement d’un fuseau horaire, vous pouvez régler l’aiguille des heures de votre montre par paliers sans arrêter le mouvement mécanique (Time Zone Corrector = TZC). Lors de ce réglage, le changement de date sera également pris en compte. Le mouvement mécanique à remontage automatique possède 31 pierres (rubis synthétiques) et a une réserve de marche d’environ 42 heures après remontage complet. Votre Montre d’Aviateur Heure Universelle est protégée par un verre saphir d’un degré 9 selon l’échelle de dureté de Mohs. Votre montre est étanche 6 bar. Le boîtier interne en fer doux assure la protection contre les champs magnétiques. Afin que cette montre exceptionnelle remplisse à la perfection ses futurs offices, nous vous recomman- dons de respecter scrupuleusement les quelques instructions importantes de ce mode d’emploi.— 39 — montre d’aviateur heure universelle 1 Aiguille des heures 2 Aiguille des minutes 3 Aiguille des secondes 4 Affichage de la date Affichage des 24 heures
