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: ž0RECAUTIONSžFORžUSEžANDžCARE - 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; ž ž!VOIDžEXPOSINGžYOURžWATCHžTOžAžPOWERFULžMAGNETICžżELDžMAGNETSžLOUDSPEAKERžETC - 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. ž-AINTENANCEžSERVICE 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.50 WATER-RESISTANCE PRECAUTIONS Your watch has undergone numerous water-resistance tests in our workshops, depending on the REQUIREDžPROTECTIONžLEVELžTOžENSUREžYOUžCANžENJOYžTHEžFOLLOWINGžACTIVITIES

Mechanical movements manufactured and produced at the manufacture Girard-Perregaux can be manual or automatic depending on the model of your watch. -ANUALžWINDINGžMECHANICALžMOVEMENT 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. 3ETTING To wind your watch, turn the crown clockwise when it is in position 0) or 0’) when it is a screw- DOWNžCROWNž!SžSOONžASžITžSTARTSžTOžRESISTžITžMEANSžTHEžMECHANISMžISžSUFżCIENTLYžWOUND 7ARNING Do not force if the resistance increases, the movement mechanism could be damaged.54 !UTOMATICžMECHANICALžMOVEMENT 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’.55 English PRACTICAL FUNCTIONS

)NTRODUCTION Setting the time of your watch is completed via the crown. This could be in two or three positions, depending on the model of your watch. žPOSITIONžCROWN

1) Time setting position (crown pulled out).

0) Movement manual winding position (crown not pulled out).

1) Date setting position (crown half pulled out).

2) Time setting position (crown fully pulled out).56

If your watch has a date indicator, make sure that the hands are in the date change position, i.e. at midnight rather than midday. Use midnight as a reference for the date and day change to ensure you are positioned at the right time of day. 3ETTING A. Pull your crown out to the time setting position. On watches with a seconds indicator, the seconds hand will stop. B. Turn your crown clockwise so as to indicate the selected time minus 5 minutes. C. Slowly move the minute hand forward clockwise, stopping it exactly at the selected minute. D. At the desired time, push the crown back against the case, in position 0).

Press on the corrector, with the help of the little tool delivered with your watch, until the date hand indicates the desired date. One press on the corrector corresponds to one day forward.61 English

POWER RESERVE INDICATOR

)NTRODUCTION 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. 2EADING The power reserve status of your watch is indicated by a little hand moving along a graded arc. 3ETTING The power reserve indicator is synchronized with the movement, so it does not need to be set. Stop soon Full62

)NTRODUCTION 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. 2EADING 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. 3ETTING 2EFERENCEžTIMEžHOMEžTIMEžHOURSžANDžMINUTES Before every setting, make sure the position of the hands corresponds to the date changing at midnight and not at midday.

Press once to move the time forwards or backwards one hour.64 TACHOMETRIC SCALE )NTRODUCTION This function measures an average speed over a given distance. 2EADING 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. 20 sec = 180 km/h 40 sec = 90 km/h ... Start Start Stop Stop65 English CHRONOGRAPH )NTRODUCTION 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. 3ETTING 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. 7ARNING 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.

)NTRODUCTION 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. 2EADING 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.67 English
