Setting the time and date for Tirion TriRetrograde models
Tirion TriRetrograde houses a movement with a necessary feature called "slow calendar", this means that any date adjustment should only be made when the date wheel is Not in a change cycle to the next day. The way to identify that it is safe to change the date, move the hour hand across 12 o'clock and see if the date wheel goes into motion (see instructions above for time change), if the date wheel does Not move, it is then safe to change the date.

Pull out the crown to position 2. Turn the crown as shown until the correct date appears.
Important ! Never set the date when the hands indicate a time between 22:00 and 04:00 (10 p.m. and 4 a.m.). Changing the date during its motion cycle could be harmful to the movement. We recommend you to set the date when the hands indicate 18:00 (6 p.m.)

Watch Care

Like every piece of precision equipment, you should have your MILUS watch serviced by an authorised watch specialist at least every two years. We also recommend that batteries only be replaced by an official licensed MILUS partner. The service life of batteries in a MILUS quartz watch is approximately 24 months. Important: never leave an old battery in your watch – the battery content may leak and cause serious damage to the watch interior.

To guarantee the water resistance of your watch (3 bar/atm), your watch should be checked once a year by an authorised Milus representative. Your watch should not be used for swims or when diving from the edge. Nor must it be used for scuba diving, or for sports with high risks of impacts, such as windsurfing or water-skiing. Furthermore, we highly recommend to keep your watch in a safe place, e.g. along with the rest of your precious jewellery and keep it out of contact with perfume, creams, make-up and other potentially harmful substances, and gently clean your MILUS watch periodically with a soft wool cloth or deerskin (do not use chemical products or solvents). In particular, you should clean your watch each time after it has been in contact with salt water.

Gold watches (MILUS watches are made of 18K gold) A gold watch is a wonderful accessory suitable for many occasions. However, gold, like other precious metals, is a soft metal. We therefore recommend that you remove your watch when undertaking activities that might cause it to be damaged. Should the gold surface of your water-resistant watch acquire an unsightly film, you can easily clean it using a cloth moistened with mild soapy water, after which you should thoroughly dry it.

DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) watches & Titanium watches (MILUS watches are made of Titanium Grade 5) If you engage in strenuous physical activity which causes heavy perspiration, your body may excrete salts that can be corrosive to DLC and/or titanium. We therefore recommend that in these situations you refrain from wearing your MILUS watch or remove it immediately afterwards and clean it thoroughly.

Stainless steel watches (MILUS watches are made of stainless steel 316L) Stainless steel is generally easy to care for and hypoallergenic, so it is suited for even the most sensitive of skin types. If you engage in strenuous physical activity which causes heavy perspiration, your body may excrete salts that can be corrosive to stainless steel. We therefore recommend that in these situations you refrain from wearing your MILUS watch or remove it immediately afterwards and clean it thoroughly.

Mechanical watches with automatic winding The MILUS mechanical watches with automatic winding have a power reserve of minimum 36 hours when fully wound. Our automatic timepieces need to be worn for about 10–15 hours (depending on activity) before it is fully wound.

Sapphire crystal The sapphire crystal used in all MILUS watches is distinguished by its brilliance and high degree of scratch resistance. It is also resistant to acids and practically unbreakable.

Diamonds All MILUS diamonds are Top Wesselton and IF-VVS (Internally Flawless, Very Very Small inclusions).

Leather straps To keep the leather strap of your MILUS watch soft and supple, we recommend treating it periodically with a leathercare product made specifically for the type of leather of which your strap is made. Various products are available on the market for this purpose. Do not submerge the leather strap in water nor use water to clean it.

Magnetic fields Avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields since this can have a negative effect on your watch. You should therefore refrain from keeping it near computers, television sets, mobile phones, loudspeakers, induction ovens or any other electrical equipment.
