Congratulations

We congratulate you on choosing a MIDO ® watch, a Swiss brand

among the most highly renowned in the world. Meticulously designed,

using only the highest quality materials and components, your watch is

protected against shocks and impacts, variations in temperature, water

and dust.

To ensure that your watch operates with perfect precision for many

years to come, we recommend that you pay careful attention to the

advice provided hereafter.

This user manual applies to all MIDO® mechanical watches (hand-

wound or automatic). Please refer to the explanations relating

specifically to your watch model.

Important information

MIDO ® has always been one of the pioneers of waterresistant

watches. Before changing any settings, please read and follow the

instructions given below:

If you have selected a Commander Ocean Star model, you have chosen

a watch with a one-piece case (monocoque) which ensures complete

water-resistance. This concept comprises a two-section winding shaft.

As a consequence, you must carefully pull the crown into setting

positions II and III because it can be pulled out completely if too

much force is applied. If this problem arises, please contact your sales

agent who will reinstall the crown for you and check over the water-

resistance.

If you have selected a model with the system, you have Aquadura

chosen a unique system capable of assuring complete water-resistance

thanks to a gasket made of cork which fully encircles the crown shaft.

Before pulling out the crown, rotate it by two or three turns.

Winding

Models with screwed crown

To ensure even better water resistance, certain models are fitted with a

screwed crown. Before setting the time, winding or setting the date* or

day*, you must first unscrew the crown into position IB.

Important: After every operation, the crown must be screwed

back in to maintain the water-resistance of the watch.

Hand-wound mechanical watches

Hand-wound watches must be wound regularly by hand in order to

remain in continuous operation (e.g. every morning before putting the

watch on your wrist). To do so, pull the crown into position and turn I

it forward until it locks. The power reserve of fully wound mechanical

movements varies from 36 to 80 hours, depending on the models.

Automatic mechanical watches

Your watch must be wound manually if it has stopped or not been

worn for several days, in order to ensure that your watch remains in

continuous operation during periods of low activity (e.g. during sleep).

In these cases, turn the crown through 30 revolutions forward in

position I. The automatic winding system will then ensure that the

movement is fully wound if the watch is on your wrist. It is also

possible to fully wind an automatic watch manually by means of the

winding crown. However, please note that automatic movements have

a slipping spring, which disengages the winding system (the crown

can be turned infinitely) once the movement has been fully wound.

Generally speaking, 80 revolutions of the crown are enough to fully wind

most automatic mechanical watches.

The efficiency of the automatic winding system of a mechanical

movement depends on the wrist movements of the person

wearing the watch. Do not deliberately shake your automatic

watch to wind it; this has no effect and could damage the watch.

Settings

NB: Please take account of the information above if your watch

is fitted with a screwed crown.

Setting the time

Pull the crown out to position and turn it in either direction until the III

desired time is displayed.

On certain models with a seconds hand, you can synchronize it with an

official time signal (radio/ TV/Internet). When the crown is pulled out to

position III, the seconds hand is stopped. Once the time is synchronised,

push the crown back into position (and screw it back in on models with I

a screwed crown).

Note: certain calibres do not have a “stop seconds” mechanism.

To synchronise them, you need to turn the crown backward slightly and

hold back the tension, thereby stopping the seconds hand. You then

need only release the tension when the display matches the time signal.

Rapid correction of the date* and day*

NB: Do not perform a rapid date correction between 22:00 and

02:00.

Pull the crown out to position and turn it clockwise until the desired II

date is displayed, or counterclockwise to correct the day. During this

operation, your watch will keep operating, so you will not need to

adjust the time.

Technical information

Power reserve

MIDO® Automatic watches draw their energy from an oscillating weight

which is activated in response to the natural movements of your wrist.

This weight keeps the watch wound. Automatic watches do not need

a battery. Depending on the model, the power reserve varies from 36

to 80 hours.

Accuracy

The accuracy of a mechanical watch depends on the movements

and habits of the person wearing it, and so it can vary. A MIDO®

qualified watchmaker can adjust the accuracy of a watch within

the MIDO® tolerance thresholds. Most watches which are not

certified chronometers have an average accuracy tolerance of around

-10/+30 seconds per day.

A chronometer is a precision mechanical watch which has obtained

an official certificate issued by COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des

Chronomètres), after its movement has passed several accuracy tests

in various positions and at various temperatures, as well as water-

resistance tests performed in the laboratory for 15 days and 15 nights.

To be awarded the title of chronometer, the average accuracy of a

mechanical movement must be between -4/+6 seconds per day.

Water-resistance

MIDO® watches are designed to withstand a pressure of up to 3 bar

(30 m / 100 ft), 5 bar (50 m / 165 ft), 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft), 20 bar

(200 m / 660 ft) or 30 bar (300 m / 1000 ft), depending on the information

shown on the case-back.

A watch cannot be permanently guaranteed absolutely water-resistant.

It may be affected by ageing of the gaskets or by an accidental impact

on the watch. We recommend that you have your watch’s water

resistance checked once a year by an approved MIDO® service centre.

Care and maintenance

Temperature

Do not expose your watch to sudden temperature changes (exposure to

sunlight followed by immersion in cold water) or extreme temperatures

(over 60°C (140°F) or below 0°C (32°F).

Magnetic fields

Do not expose your watch to intense magnetic fields such as those

generated by loudspeakers, mobile phones, computers, refrigerators or

other electromagnetic appliances.

Shocks and impacts

Avoid thermal shocks or impacts, since they may harm your watch. In

the event of a violent impact please have your watch checked by an

approved MIDO® service centre.

Harmful products

Prevent your watch from coming into any direct contact with solvents,

detergents, perfumes, cosmetic products etc., since they may damage

the bracelet, the case or the gaskets.

Cleaning

We would advise you to clean your watch regularly (except for the

leather strap) using a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. After

immersion in salty water, rinse your watch in fresh water and leave it

to dry completely.

Services

Like any precision instrument, a watch must be serviced regularly for

optimum operation. As a general rule, we recommend that you have

your watch checked every 3 to 4 years by your approved MIDO® retailer

or service centre. However, please note that depending on the climate

and the conditions of use of the watch, a shorter interval may be

required. To benefit from the highest standards of service and to ensure

your guarantee remains in force, please always contact an approved

MIDO® retailer or service centre.

Availability of spare parts

From the stoppage date of the watch production, MIDO® guarantees

the availability of its spare parts for a minimum period of 10 years for

standard watches, and for a period of up to 20 years for gold watches.

If for any reason production of a particular spare part is stopped or

deferred, MIDO® reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to offer the

customer an alternative solution.
