Operation Manual

English
Self-winding chronograph
Operating instructions2
This indicator operates simulta-
neously with the chronograph
hands. Each circle on the display
corresponds to 1 minute.
For a regatta, the chronograph
should be started at the warning
signal by pressing pusher A.
If the 5 circles on the display have changed colour to blue, this means
that 5 minutes have elapsed since the warning signal. Once the circles
have changed to red, this means that 10 minutes have elapsed and
that the starting line can be crossed.
NB: if the chronograph function is stopped, the regatta function
also stops, since the two functions are synchronised.
Apnea function (calibre 3601)
In addition to the hours and minutes
hands, this movement has an indica-
tor that displays the elapsed time
of a dive. This indicator operates
simultaneously with the chrono-
graph seconds hand. Each circle
on the display corresponds to 1
minute.
Before a dive, the chronograph should be started. Once the 7 circles
on the display have changed to red, this means that 7 minutes have
elapsed. Once the red colour has disappeared from the 7 circles this
means that 7 more minutes have elapsed.
Note: the calibre 3601 has no hours or minutes counter or small-
seconds hand.

The crown has 3 positions:
Watch functions:
1. Normal position (wearing position): when the crown is posi-
tioned against the case, the crown ensures that the watch is water-
resistant.
Occasional winding: if the watch has not been worn for 44 hours
or more (calibres 3888, 3890: 52 hours), wind it up with the crown
in position 1.
2. Correcting the date: pull the crown out to position 2, turn the
crown forwards (backwards for calibres 1151, 3606), then push the
crown back to position 1.
NB: the date cannot be corrected between 8:30pm and 1am. (9pm
and 4am for the calibres 1151 and 3606; see note below for the
calibres 3888 and 3890).
