2. Installation et réglage initial

Before wearing your watch, it is important to set the time and calendar functions correctly. As an automatic watch, it is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, it will require initial winding.

2.1 Enroulement initial

1. Assurez-vous que la couronne est en position 0 (complètement enfoncée).
2. Tournez la couronne dans le sens horaire environ 20 à 30 fois. Cela fournira une réserve de marche suffisante pour démarrer la montre.
3. The watch will begin to run. Regular wear will keep the watch wound.

2.2 Réglage de l'heure

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (farthest out). The seconds hand will stop.
2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Pay attention to the 24-hour subdial to ensure AM/PM is correctly set, as this affects the date change.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 0 (fully in). The seconds hand will resume movement.

2.3 Setting Date, Day, and Moon Phase

The Oris Artelier Multifunction watch features a date subdial, a day of the week subdial, and a moon phase indicator. These are typically adjusted using the crown in an intermediate position or via small recessed pushers on the side of the watch case.

• Important: Avoid adjusting the date or day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanism is engaged in changing the calendar. Adjusting during this period can damage the movement.
• Crown Position 1 (Date/Day Quick Set): Gently pull the crown out to position 1 (one click).
  • Rotate the crown in one direction (e.g., clockwise) to adjust the date.
  • Rotate the crown in the opposite direction (e.g., counter-clockwise) to adjust the day of the week.
• Recessed Pushers (Moon Phase / Additional Calendar): Use a small, non-sharp tool (like a toothpick or the end of a paperclip) to gently press the recessed pushers on the side of the watch case.
  • One pusher typically advances the moon phase indicator.
  • The other pusher may adjust an additional calendar function if not covered by the crown.
• Après réglage, repoussez la couronne en position 0.

Note: For precise instructions on which pusher controls which function, please refer to the official Oris user manual specific to your movement caliber.
