Greetings. I'm Tim of Govberg welcome to The World of Zenith. Today I'll be your guide to the proper usage, care and maintenance of your Zenith Academy Georges Favre-Jacot Limited Edition.

It's important to note that the Georges Favre-Jacot and its manually wound caliber 4810 is energized by pulling the crown out from its position flush to the case to its second position. This is flush. This is position one. This is position two. In that second position, turn it lightly in a clockwise direction until you see visually that the power reserve indicator is advanced to 50. That's 50 hours of power reserve. That the fusee chain is completely wound around the helical groove of the fusee barrel. You'll have seen the chain transfer entirely to the fusee barrel. You'll also feel resistance in the crown. It won't want to turn. Do not force it at this point as the watch is fully wound. Return the crown to the position flush against the case.

Now to set the watch, you pull it out two increments. You'll feel the detents within the keyless works that are internal to the movement. Now at this point, you can advance the time to the hour and minute desired. You'll note the small second sub-dial continues to advance and the balance continues to beat. Once you've chosen your correct hour and minute, return the crown to the position flushed to the case.

It's important to note three hazards- water, magnetism and shock- that pose specific dangers to your watch. Water is first and foremost. Now this timepiece is rated at 3ATM or 30 meters from the factory. Zenith notes this as sufficient for exposure to perhaps water that splashes while washing hands, rain, brief momentary submergence, but not sustained diving, scuba diving or snorkeling activity. It's important to note that that 30 meters is not a static feature of the watch and as seals age and lubricants dry up, it will diminish with time. Therefore Zenith advises having a watch tested by an authorized service center at least annually to ensure that it retains its factory rated water resistance.

Further more, remember that the crown itself must always be flush to the case. It should not be wound, it should not be displayed for setting. It's important to note that only when the crown is flush to the case is the water resistance of 3ATM achieved. Moving the crown in any fashion, displacing it in any way when there's even water on the case can bypass the seals, introduce moisture to the interior of the timepiece causing severe mechanical and aesthetic damage.

Now with respect to magnetism, magnetism affects the metallic hairspring of the balance, which is the heart of the watch, the center of its oscillator. When the hairspring becomes magnetized, the watch will keep time erratically. Magnets are more common in daily life than many realize. As they're featured on the closure of packages, purses and wallets as well as refrigerator doors, high powered wiring looms in the home and office, speakers and sub-woofers and of course magnetic resonance imaging equipment. If you suspect that your watch has become magnetized due to erratic timing, take it to an authorized Zenith service center where specialized equipment is available to quickly and easily demagnetize the hairspring.

Finally with respect to service, Zenith recommends that approximately every three to five years, a full mechanical overhaul of the watch be performed. This will include water testing, regulation, cleaning, oiling, all aspects of restoring the watch to its factory cosmetic condition as well as mechanical condition. It's critical that this service be performed only with an authorized independent retailer that is a designated service center of Zenith or a factory owned store that has access to the manufacturer's service facilities as these agencies alone can endow the watch with a full factory service warranty on all parts provided and work performed. These agencies alone have the trained personnel, original factory replacement parts and specialized equipment to protect the integrity of your watch both as an instrument and as an investment.
