Perpetual calendar

2.2.Display and correction of the yearly cycle.

Following display of the month (cf. 2.1.), the calendar continues to function and the year cycle is displayed in Roman numerals for 8 seconds, (C).

I = leap year +1 Example: 2005, 2009, 2013

II = leap year +2 Example: 2006, 2010, 2014

III = leap year +3 Example: 2007, 2011, 2015

IV = leap year

Example: 2004, 2008, 2012

During these eight seconds, you can adjust the year cycle. To do so, pull the crown out to position 2, turn the hour hand through one full revolution. The year cycle will move forwards or backwards.

Repeat the procedure until the required yearly cycle is displayed. Push the crown back to position 1.

The calendar continues to function and displays the date, A.

See point 1.3. for how to correct the date.

2.3.Changing the time zone or daylight saving time: Pull the crown out to position 2 and turn it. Only the hour hand will move forwards or backwards, without affecting the minutes or seconds. Push the crown back to position 1.

NOTE:

The end of battery life is indicated by the seconds hand making 4-second jumps. The watch will continue to func- tion for several days, but the battery must be removed and replaced by an authorised OMEGA service agent as soon as possible. Once the watch stops, a memory func- tion stores the date for one month.
