 2.5. Where correction of the daily rate is possible,
adjust said rate by means of trimmer, using the key
specially devised for this purpose (fig. 3.2). This key
only must be used in order not to damage the
trimmer. Excess pressure should be avoided during fig. 3.2
this operation.

By moving the guide-mark of the trimmer in a

clockwise direction, a gain is obtained; by moving it
in the opposite direction, a loss.

Adjust the watch in relation to the ambient

temperature, according to fig. 4.2.

In order that the temperature of the watch may be

equal to the ambient temperature, it is necessary to
wait about one hour before the measuring is effected.

The values indicated in fig. 4.2. are valid for

a watch with closed back.

Turn the trimmer, bearing in mind a gain of 0.10 to

0.20 sec. as compared with the desired adjustment
according to fig. 4.2, in order to compensate the loss
caused by closing of the case.

2.6. Grease the water-resistance gasket. Close the

case.

2.7. Set the watch and check frequency on

DELTATEST after 24 hours.

 9.1. Adjust the retaining click into position shown
by figure 1, the end of the click to be used as
guiding-mark to observe the movement of the
second wheel.

9.2. Put hand setting stem into setting position and

turn it slightly in both directions to observe the
movement of the second wheel in comparison
with the click; to be suitable, this movement must
be 1/4 to 1/2 of the distance between two teeth
(figure 2). Repeat this control twice after 20
seconds
(= 120°).

9.3. If the backlash has to be modified, turn the

eccentric for motor in the direction suitable to the
required correction.

IMPORTANT

Whilst moving the crown, a displacement of the

rotor might be observed by microscope; this
deplacement increases the movement of the
second wheel and therefore, falsifies the
measuring. The first movement of the wheel must
be considered and not the movement caused by
addition of the endshake of the rotor.
