Special nature of the four-digit year indicator
The year is indicated via four positions. The
display of the year’s first two digits (the centu-

indicate “20” or “21”. The decade display con-

petual calendar mechanism. On 1 January 2100,
the watch will therefore indicate the year 2000
(fixed “20” + “00”). We advise you to wait un-
til 1 March 2100 before submitting your Master
