How to set the time on a Blancpain watch?

　　The Blancpain manufacture has always insisted on crafting timepieces in the purest traditional manner, championing traditional complications, reacquainting the world with the history of the guild of artisans, and embodying the core values of significant watches that represent the pinnacle of watchmaking achievement. Some friends who have purchased a Blancpain watch have expressed uncertainty about how to set the time. However, the time-setting methods vary for different types of watches. Below, the editor outlines the basic methods for setting the time on Blancpain watches for your study.

　　Methods for setting the time on a Blancpain watch

　　Time-setting method for Blancpain three-hand automatic mechanical watches:

　　1, pull the crown out to the second click to adjust the time.

　　2. Avoid adjusting the time and watch functions between 23:00 and 5:00 at night to prevent damaging the Blancpain watch movement.

　　3. Winding is performed by rotating the crown upwards while it is pushed in. For a new watch or one that has not been worn for a while, it is recommended to wind it about 30 times to build up a power reserve and prevent stopping or inaccuracy due to insufficient wrist movement.

　　4. Pull the crown out to the first click to adjust the date, 1-31. For months with fewer than 30 days, manually advance past the 31th. (Note that the calendar changes around 12 o'clock at night; if adjusting during the day, simply advance the time by 12 hours manually).

In 1953, Blancpain launched the Fifty Fathoms diving watch designed specifically for the French Navy's combat swimmer unit. This watch, favoured by Commander Cousteau, immediately secured its place among classic timepieces. To this day, Blancpain has developed a series of watches from this model, with some versions water-resistant up to 1000 metres. The series is extremely sporty, intricately constructed, robust, reliable, and boasts outstanding performance, suitable for wearing on any occasion and capable of handling even the most extreme environments.
