Operating instructions2
The crown has 3 positions:

Normal position (wearing position): when the crown is positioned 
against the case, the crown ensures that the watch is water-resistant.
2. Time zone and 
correcting the date
: pull the crown out to posi-
tion 2. Turn the crown forwards or backwards, the hour hand moves 
forwards or backwards in one-hour jumps. 
The date can be moved 
forwards or backwards by moving the hour hand past midnight 
accordingly. Push the crown back to position 1.
3. Time setting: pull the crown out to position 3. The seconds hand 
will stop. Turn the crown forwards or backwards. Synchronise the 
seconds by pushing the crown back to position 1 to coincide with 
a given time signal.
For calibres 1424, 1532, 4561 and 4564, the end of battery life is indi
-
cated by the seconds hand making 4-second jumps. The watch will con-
tinue to function for several days, but the battery must be removed and 
replaced by an authorised 
OMEGA
 service agent as soon as possible.
