PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND CARE

Your watch has been manufactured with the greatest care, and will provide years of service if you take the following precautions:

1. Precautions for use and care

- Never activate the crown or push-buttons of your watch in water. If your watch has a screw-down crown, make sure that it never comes into contact with water when its crown is unscrewed; - Avoid thermal shocks and exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, below 0 ° or above 60 ° (sauna, baths, etc.); - Never use corrosive or chemical products to clean your watch; - Avoid contact with certain chemical substances (petrol, thinners, perfumes, cleaning products, glues, paints, etc.), to prevent any damage to your watch and its leather strap; - Avoid exposing your watch to a powerful magnetic field (magnets, loudspeaker, etc.); - Avoid violent impacts; - Avoid leaving your watch immobile for long periods of time. Only regular wear prevents the oils contained in the movement from congealing; - Never attempt to open the case of your watch yourself; - Rinse your watch with fresh water after bathing in the sea; avoid bathing with a leather strap to prevent accelerated wear.

2. Maintenance service

Therefore, to ensure that your watch continues, after years of use, to provide the accuracy you can rightly expect, Girard-Perregaux recommends entrusting your watch to one of its authorized Repair Centers every 2 to 3 years for the necessary inspections.52 WATER-RESISTANCE PRECAUTIONS Your watch has undergone numerous water-resistance tests in our workshops, depending on the required protection level, to ensure you can enjoy the following activities:

Your watch has been rigorously checked and will retain its water-resistance if you take the following precautions: - Ensure that the crown and the push-buttons on your watch are in their initial position - position0 - to prevent any damage to the mechanism. To do this, press the crown against the case. - If your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown, ensure that it is locked after any adjustment and before use in an aquatic environment. To do this, screw the crown in a clockwise direction, whilst keeping it pressed against the case of your watch. - Never activate the crown or push-buttons of your watch under water, if the watch is in contact with water or when it is wet.

2. Water-resistance test

The water-resistance of your watch is ensured by a sophisticated system of seals. These are subject to the damaging effects of a range of external factors (perspiration, changes in temperature, ultraviolet rays, salt or chlorinated water, dust, etc.). For this reason, and to ensure the seals can carry out their role perfectly, Girard-Perregaux recommends entrusting your watch to one of its authorized Girard-Perregaux Repair Centers every 2 to 3 years for the necessary water-resistance inspections.54

USER GUIDE SETTINGS CROWN Introduction The crown is a component allowing the adjustment of different watch functions, such as setting the time, manual winding and on certain models, setting the day or the date. Simple crown Setting A. Pull out the crown to go on to different settings. B. To assure its water-resistance, it is important that the crown is pushed back into position 0) once you have finished using it. To do this, press the crown against the case as illustrated opposite. Screw-down crown The screw-down crown ensures perfect water-resistance to the depth for which the model was designed. Setting A. Unscrew the crown to go on to different settings. To do this, turn the crown counter-clockwise. B. To assure its water-resistance, it is important that the crown is pushed back into position 0) once you have finished using it. To do this, screw the crown in clockwise while pressing it against the case, as illustrated opposite.55 English WINDING Introduction Winding allows the movement to store up the energy necessary for your watch to function well. Mechanical movements manufactured and produced at the manufacture Girard-Perregaux can be manual or automatic depending on the model of your watch. Manual winding mechanical movement This type of movement means that to function normally, your watch needs to be regularly wound. Depending on the model and the power reserve of your watch, it can go between 30 to 60 hours between two windings. Setting To wind your watch, turn the crown clockwise when it is in position 0) or 0’) when it is a screw- down crown. As soon as it starts to resist, it means the mechanism is sufficiently wound.

Warning: Do not force if the resistance increases, the movement mechanism could be damaged.56

Part Name Hazardous Substances Lead (Pb) Mercury (Hg) Cadmium (Cd) Hexavalent Chromium (Cr (VI)) Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) Brass components (main plate and bridges) X0 0 0 0 0 Automatic mechanical movement This term means that your watch automatically stores up energy as you wear it on your wrist. Indeed, your daily movement allows the oscillating mass to carry out rotating movements which, thanks to a clockwork system, reproduce an energy to the movement and allows it to automatically wind itself. Daily wear is enough to assure the power reserve necessary for your watch to function well without it being necessary to wind it. If your watch has not been worn for several consecutive days, it has to be manually wound. To do this, please refer to the paragraph above ‘Manual winding mechanical movement’. Quartz movement Quartz watches are battery-powered and do not need to be wound. The battery must be replaced periodically, approximately every 2 years. To have the battery replaced, contact an approved Girard-Perregaux Repair Centre. Recycling New or spent batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. These components must be taken to a collection point specifically designed for recycling electrical and electronic equipment and batteries. By ensuring that these products are correctly and appropriately disposed of, you are helping to prevent any potentially harmful effects on the environment and on human health. Recycling materials will help protect natural resources.57 English PRACTICAL FUNCTIONS

One press on the corrector corresponds to one day forward.63 English

POWER RESERVE INDICATOR

Introduction This indicator allows you to know the status of your watch power in real time, or how long your watch can work for before it will need to be wound again. Reading The power reserve status of your watch is indicated by a little hand moving along a graded arc. Setting The power reserve indicator is synchronized with the movement, so it does not need to be set. Stop soon Full64

Introduction This function, which is highly valued by travellers, is used to display two time zones simultaneously: The reference time or «home time», and the local time. Reading The reference time («home time») is displayed on the central 24-hour graduated disc. As usual, the local time is read on the external graduated scale. Setting Reference time («home time») hours and minutes Before every setting, make sure the position of the hands corresponds to the date changing at midnight and not at midday. Use midnight as an approximate reference for the date jump to ensure you are positioned at the right time of day.

Warning: The date hand only follows the local hour hand (set using the

push-buttons at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock). A. Pull the crown of your watch out to the time setting position, in position1). The seconds hand will stop. B. Turn the crown clockwise so as to indicate the selected time minus 5 minutes.

Date change by hand Press on the corrector a) located at 8 o’clock using the small tool supplied with your watch, until the date hand indicates the desired date. One press on the corrector corresponds to one day forward.

Warning: Between 11PM and midnight, a date correction using

correctora) will only enable the date to be moved forward by one day. However, this action will not damage your mechanism. Second time zone (local time) The push-buttons located at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock can be used to move the second time zone hour hand forwards or backwards (local time). Press once to move the time forwards or backwards one hour.66

Introduction This function tells you the local time in 24 of the world’s major cities, at the same time as your own. The rim of your watch’s dial is equipped with a "24 hour" rotating disc synchronised with the hour hand, and a second rotating disc bearing the names of these cities. The time in each time zone can be read on the 24 hour disc opposite the corresponding reference city. Setting Hour and minute A. Unscrew and pull out the watch crown to the time-setting position, in position 1). The seconds hand will stop. B. Rotate the crown until the required time, less 5 minutes, is displayed. C. Slowly move the minute hand forward clockwise, stopping it exactly at the selected minute. D. At the desired time, screw the crown back against the case, in position0); the watch will restart immediately.

Warning: After making any setting, always screw the crown back into its

original position against the case, in position 0), to preserve the water- resistance of your watch and prevent any damage to the mechanism. Note that the "24 hour" disc is synchronised with the hour and minute hands. It does not need to be set.67

English City ring A. Unscrew the crown at 9o'clock in position 1). B. Turn the crown to 12o'clock for the city corresponding to the time zone of your location. C. When the desired time zone is correctly set to 12o’clock, screw the crown back against the case, in position 0).

Warning: After making any setting, always screw the crown back

into its original position against the case, in position 0), to preserve the water-resistance of your watch and prevent any damage to the mechanism. Winter time / Summer time The summer time system was adopted by certain countries for energy saving purposes. It consists of adding one hour to the legal time during the summer months. The 1966 WW.TC watch does not take the summer time change into account, because it is not adopted by all countries (Japan, China, Taiwan, etc.). So a difference of one hour should be taken into account during this period. 24 time zones The twenty-four time zones, each covering 15° longitude (i.e. an hour each) and with the Greenwich Meridian as the origin, form the basis for Universal Time measurement (UT). While the hour indication depends on the time zone, the minute indication, unlike local time, is the same regardless of the zone.68 20 sec = 180 km/h 40 sec = 90 km/h ... TACHOMETRIC SCALE Introduction This function measures an average speed over a given distance. Reading Let us take a road with 2 markers A and B set one kilometer (or mile) apart. Start your chronograph as your car passes marker A, then stop it as it passes marker B. Then read the average speed in kilometers/hour or miles/hour on the tachometer scale at the tip of the chronograph center seconds hand. Start Start Stop Stop69

English CHRONOGRAPH Introduction The chronograph seconds are displayed by a large center hand. The minute, and possibly the hour, are generally displayed by 1 or 2 small counters. The seconds hand and the counters are interconnected. On certain models, minute timing may also be indicated by a center hand pointing to the dial’s graduated rim. Setting A. Press your watch’s push button at 2 o’clock: The center seconds hand will start. B. Press the same push button at 2 o’clock again: the center seconds hand will stop. C. Press your watch’s push-button at 4 o’clock: The center seconds and the counter hands will return to zero.

Warning: While the second hand is working, never reset to zero to

prevent damage to the mechanism. Always check the second hand has stopped before resetting to zero. Start Stop Reset70 Midday Midnight ASTRONOMIC FUNCTIONS

Introduction The day/night indicator uses a system of discs representing the sun and moon to indicate whether it is day or night. The special window depicts the night sky, in which the shape of the moon and sun changes as the day advances. Reading When setting the time, take into account the day/night indication, as this is synchronised with the hour and minute indications. For example, at midnight, the moon should appear at 6 o’clock, while at midday the sun should appear at 6 o’clock.71 English

MOON PHASES INDICATOR

Introduction Moon phases indication allows the reproduction of the moon cycle (new moon, first quarter, full moon, final quarter) by means of a disc or a window. The moon phases indicator offers a representation of the sky in which the form of the moon is shown at its different stages throughout the lunar month. Reading A disc, with two moons placed in a starry sky, turns in a window. At the start of each moon phase, one of the two moons appears in the left-hand section of the window; it initially appears as a slim crescent, emerging from behind the rounded edge, then gradually grows over the course of the days. In the middle of the lunar month, the moon appears in the middle of the window in its full form. It then starts to gradually disappear behind the second rounded cover on the right. New moon First quarter Last quarterFull moon72

Setting For watches with a corrector, press on the corrector a), using the little tool supplied with your watch, until the desired moon phase is displayed. One press on the corrector corresponds to one day forward.

Warning: Do not correct the moon phases indicator when the mechanism changing the date

is engaged, between 3 PM and 3 AM, as this could damage the mechanism. To be sure, use midnight as a reference for the date and day change to ensure you are positioned at the right time of day. For watches without a corrector, pull the crown into position 1) and turn it clockwise until the desired moon phase is displayed.

Warning: After making any setting, always return the crown to its original position against the

English Equation of time Introduction The Earth’s orbit around the sun is not perfectly circular. As with most of the celestial bodies in our solar system, its trajectory is elliptical. In addition, the Earth’s axis is tilted in relation to the orbit’s plane. A consequence of this irregular trajectory is that the length of the solar day – the interval between the times at which the sun twice passes the meridian at a given location – varies according to the season. The 24-hour day used for civil time is calculated using the average duration of the solar day. Reading The equation of time function indicates the difference between the mean time and the solar time. This difference is indicated by a little hand which moves along a graduated arc. It can extend to between approximately +14 and –16 minutes for certain dates at the start of February and November respectively. Setting The equation of time indicator is synchronized with the calendar readings, and therefore does not require adjustment. Beginning February Beginning November82 PERPETUAL CALENDAR Introduction The perpetual calendar indicates the date, day and month, taking into account the different lengths of the months in the Gregorian calendar, including leap years. Its "mechanical memory" therefore counts 1461 days, or four years. Please note that this type of mechanism cannot take non-standard common years into account (years which are not leap years as they can be divided by 100 but not by 400, such as 2100). Setting Before making any correction, ensure that the time display is between 1:00 PM and 8:30 PM. Outside this range, any rotation of the stem in position 1) will have no effect. Use midnight as an approximate reference for the date jump to ensure you are positioned at the right time of day. Adjustment outside the hours of 1:00 PM and 8:30 PM will not cause any damage to the mechanism.83 English Hour and minute Before every setting, make sure the position of the hands corresponds to the date changing at midnight and not at midday.
