Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Setting Time, Day and Date on Standard Watches (see Table of Contents on p. 2-3 for other watches) Important note to assure waterresistance: If the crown of your watch does not pull directly out or if your watch is water-resistant to 200m or more, then you may have a watch with a screw-down crown. Rotate the crown counterclockwise until the crown moves away from the watch. This will set the crown in Position 1. Always screw down the crown after making any adjustments.
1. Pull out the crown to Position 2 (one «click» out). Rotate crown counterclockwise until the date shows one day earlier than the date you want to set. 2. Pull out the crown to Position 3 (two «clicks» out). Rotate crown so the watch hands move clockwise until the current date shows. Then set the watch hands to the correct time. Turn the watch hands past 12 once if you’re setting the watch for a P.M. time. Push the crown back to Position 1. 3.

Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Setting the Time and Date (For Chronos and Pilot Series only) 1. Pull out the crown to Position 2 (one «click» out). Rotate crown counterclockwise until the date shows one day earlier than the date you want to set. 2. Pull out the crown to Position 3 (two «clicks» out). Rotate crown so the watch hands move clockwise until the current date shows. Then set the watch hands to the correct time. Turn the watch hands past 12 once if you’re setting the watch for a P.M. time. 3.
30-Minute Chronograph (Stopwatch) The chronograph feature is a stopwatch which measures minutes, seconds, and 1/10 of a second. It is also capable of measuring split-timed events (timing a continuous event and sub-events simultaneously; e.g., timing an individual lap and an entire race). Note: the 1/10-second timer (right subdial) will not move until the stop button is pushed. It will then record the elapsed 1/10-seconds.
3. Read the seconds, minutes, and hours on the appropriate dials (see the section of this manual that corresponds to your watch for dial identification). 4. To reset the stopwatch to zero, push the bottom pusher. Note: The clock function will continue to operate while using the stopwatch. Using the Split-Timing Function 1. Press the top pusher to start the stopwatch. 2. To read a lap or other intermediate segment of time, push the bottom pusher.
12-hour chronograph with Slide Rule Function (SR) Inner scale Top pusher 10:00 Crown 30-Minute counter subdial Seconds hand subdial 3:00 Crown Chronograph seconds hand 12-Hour counter subdial Bottom pusher Outer scale
Using the 12-hour chronograph with Slide Rule Function (SR) This SR can perform a variety of calculations from currency conversions to multiplication and division problems with 94% accuracy. With the circular slide, you can calculate any conversion of a linear nature with a constant ratio such as ounces to grams, kilograms to pounds, miles to kilometers, etc. Important note: The 10:00 crown features a screw-down mechanism to protect against accidental adjustments.
2. Rotate crown until the large arrow on the inner scale is aligned with the number «60» on the outer scale. Notice that all the numbers in the inner and outer scale match up. 3. Decimal points. Depending on the context of your problem, you will decide whether to read the number “10” on the inner scale as 1, 10, 100 or 1,000. The markers between numbers indicate the calibration. (e.g., the calibration between 10 and 11 are each 0.1 so, 2 calibrations above the 10 will read at 10.2.
Division 1. Set the number you are dividing by on the inner scale over the number you are dividing on the outer scale. (e.g., for 540 ÷ 12 = 45, set the 12 on the inner scale over 54 on the outer scale.) 2. Read the result on the outer scale opposite the (10/arrow) number on the inner scale. Ratios and Conversions When the numbers on the outer scale and the inner scale match, the ratio between the two scales is 1:1.
For example, 1 oz = 28.35 grams, rotate the inner scale until the (10/arrow) number is below the 28.35 on the outer scale. Now all the numbers on the outer scale become grams and all the numbers on the inner scale become ounces. As an example, look at 85 on the outer scale. It is pointing to 30 on the inner scale. Making a decimal point adjustment to 3.0 you now know that 3 oz. are almost 85 grams. Currency Conversion Suppose the currency rate for the Swiss Franc is SFR 1.30 to $1.00 USD.
Miles and Kilometers You can convert miles to kilometers or the reverse and subsequently miles/ hour to kilometers/hour and the reverse. 1. Rotate the inner scale until the «STAT» arrow is set opposite the number of miles you want to convert to km on the outer scale. 2. Read the corresponding km value on the outer scale that is set opposite the «MPH/KM» arrow on the inner scale. (e.g., to convert 25 mph to kilometers per hour, set the STAT arrow opposite 25 on the outer dial.

3. Countdown Timer a. Using the minute hand as a starting point, rotate the 9:00 crown to position the triangle with orange dot at the desired finish point. b. The minute hand will indicate how many minutes are remaining on the internal rotating bezel. Using the Tachymeter The Tachymeter is the miles or kilometer per hour indicator along the outer edge of the watch face. It is meant to be used in conjunction with the chronograph feature to measure speed over a distance of one mile or one kilometer. 1.
4. The seconds hand chronograph timer (the large seconds hand) will have advanced to a point on the Tachymeter. The corresponding number indicated by the Tachymeter is the average speed (in MPH or KMH) the object has traveled over the mile or kilometer distance. Note: The object must have traveled exactly one mile or one kilometer for the tachymeter to be accurate.
3. Stop the Chronograph hand when hearing the thunder. 4. The Chronograph hand will point to a numeral on the telemeter scale, indicating the approximate distance (in km) between the observer and the position of the lightning (current location of thunderstorm). Recalibrating the Timer Hands The timer hands are preset to begin at zero. It is possible that over time the hands will not begin at zero. If this happens you will need to recalibrate the hands.
3. Adjusting the seconds hand: Hold or tap the top pusher until the desired time is reached. 4. Adjusting the minute/hour counters: Tap the bottom pusher to switch to the minute/hour adjusting mode. Then hold or tap the top pusher until the desired time is reached. 5. Return the crown to the fully depressed Position 1. For 30-Minute Chronographs 1. To recalibrate the 30-minute timer, pull the crown out to Position 3. Press the top pusher repeatedly until seconds hand is in desired starting position. 2.
4. Return crown to Position 1 when finished. For 12-hour chronograph with Slide Rule Function (SR) 1. Pull the 3:00 crown out to Position 3. 2. Hold both pushers down simultaneously for 2 seconds; the chronograph seconds hand will rotate to indicate that the corrective mode is activated. Release the pushers. 3. Adjusting the seconds hand: Hold or tap the top pusher until the desired time is reached. 4. Adjusting the hour counter: Tap the bottom pusher to switch to the hour adjusting mode.

Pull out the 4:00 crown to Position 3 (two «clicks» out). Rotate crown so the watch hands move clockwise until the current date shows. Then set the watch hands to the correct time. Turn the watch hands past 12 once if you’re setting the watch for a P.M. time. 3. Return the crown to the fully depressed position.
Setting the 2nd Time Zone Important note: The 2:00 crown features a screw-down mechanism to protect against accidental adjustments. Rotate the crown counterclockwise to move the crown away from the watch. Always screw down the crown after making adjustments. This is vital for protecting your watch against water intrusion. 1. Rotate the 2:00 crown counterclockwise until the crown moves away from the watch. This will set the crown in Position 2. 2.
Note: The inner bezel has a 24-hour display. Therefore, when setting the local time, make sure that 8 a.m. is set as 08.00 and 8 p.m. is set as 20.00. 4. Rotate the 2:00 crown once more until a city in the desired time zone appears in the cut-out at the 9 o’clock position of the dial. 5. The second time zone hand will now indicate the time for this time zone. This hand rotates once every 24 hours and indicates the time on the 24hour display of the outer bezel.
Checking Additional Time Zones Once the watch has been set as described, you can check other time zones at any time by rotating the 2:00 crown. Note: Certain time zones do not recognize daylight saving time (DST). You must take this difference of +/- one hour into account when reading the second time zone or whenever you set the second time zone (see table on pages 30-31).
