Baume & Mercier: two names which evoke 179 years of watchmaking heritage and an authentic Swiss brand that represents, as much today as yesteryear, the expression of contemporary luxury and relaxed elegance. Since 1830, Baume & Mercier seduces by its sophisticated balance between state-of-the-art technique and aesthetics.
English A mechanical watch has a power reserve of about 40 hours. We recommend you wind it each day. SELF-WINDING MECHANICAL WATCH A watch with a self-winding mechanical movement is automatically wound as its wearer performs certain everyday movements. Because of this, the watchband must be correctly fitted to the wearer’s wrist. If the watchband is too loose, the watch may lose some of its autonomy. To keep your watch optimally wound, wear it every day.
English Unidirectional rotating bezel This refers to the bezel, located on top of the watch, which rotates with a ratchet and is dotted with a zero guide-mark and a division of minutes matching those on the dial. This function is mainly used to calculate time elapsed while diving. Indicate the start of the dive by positioning the zero mark on the bezel in front of the minutes-hand. The minutes-hand will then indicate on the bezel the number of minutes that have elapsed since the start of the dive.
RAPID DATE CHANGE 1) Pull the crown out to position 2. 2) Turn the crown until the required date is indicated in (E). 3) Push the crown back into position 1 once the date is set. If your watch comes equipped with a corrector for changing the date (FIG 3c, corrector C1), use the small tool provided in the watch box to adjust the date. For months with less than 31 days, change the date manually at the end of the month. DUAL TIME FUNCTION With crown adjustment - FIG 1a Pull the crown out to position 2.
It is extremely important that you do not adjust your watch (with the exception of setting the hour) between 8pm and 2am. Position 3: Setting the time. Crown II: alarm function. Position 1: To wind the alarm function manually: turn the crown clockwise 30 to 40 times. Position 2: Setting the alarm (K): turn the crown counter-clockwise. The alarm is activated when the crown is left in position 2. Push the crown back to position 1 to turn off the alarm when it rings.
Setting the day of the week Using the tool which was supplied with your watch, press on the corrector button (C1) until the desired day is indicated (K). It is extremely important that you do not adjust your watch (with the exception of setting the hour) between 20:00 and 02:00 in the morning.
