WATER RESISTANCE

Please check the details on the back of your Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece case and
read the following information carefully:
Water-resistant to 3 atm (100 feet/30 meters). Resistant to rain, splashes and
accidental immersion, but must not be worn in the shower or when swimming.
Water-resistant to 5 atm (165 feet/50 meters). May be worn in the shower or
when swimming in shallow water. Do not wear when diving.
Water-resistant to 10 atm (330 feet/100 meters). May be worn when swimming or
snorkelling.
Water-resistant to 30 atm (990 feet/300 meters). May be worn when swimming,
snorkelling or skin diving.
Water-resistant to 50 atm (1650 feet/500 meters). May be worn when swimming,
snorkelling or scuba diving.
The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely,
considering that joints may age, crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate or
temperature may vary. We therefore recommend that you have the water resistance of
your timepiece checked at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Service Center every 18
months or whenever the timepiece case is opened.
Never operate the crown and/or pushers when the timepiece is under water and ensure
that the crown and pushers are properly pushed back or screwed down after each use.

METER/BAR CORRELATION

Meter and bar measurements are different things: Under water, the water pressure is
added to the air pressure above; a depth of 10 meters corresponds to 1 bar of water
pressure and 1 bar of atmospheric pressure above water level, therefore 2 bars in total.
II. GETTING STARTED

1. USING THE CROWN

A characteristic feature of your Chrono Classic XLS MT (MultiTask) timepiece equipped
with an ETA movement 988.333 is its unique programming crown for all manipulations
which you can turn to obtain different functions:
– In neutral position (1):
Selection of the different functions
– In pulled-out position (2):
Correction of the display indication.
The crown also acts as a pusher to activate different
functions such as the arming and disarming of the alarm,
and to operate the three chronograph functions: starting,
stopping and resetting to zero.
