  • Page 6: Setting The Time

    Setting the Time 1. Pull out the crown at the 3 o’clock position so that is clicks twice. Rotate the crown until the current time is shown on the face. 2. Push the crown back into its original position. The second hand will not tick, but the time will be set.

  • Page 7: Setting The Date

    Setting the Date 1. Pull out the crown at the 3’oclock position so that it clicks once. Rotate the crown clockwise until the correct date is shown in the date box. Note: I recommended setting the date between the hours of 5am and 5pm to ensure the date will change the following day.

  • Page 8: Using The Chronograph

    Using the Chronograph You can use the Chronograph (it’s a fancy word for “stopwatch) anywhere you go with just the push of a button. Here’s how: 1. To start the chronograph, press the top button once. You will see the second hand begin to tick.
  • Page 9 Chronograph Reset This procedure should be performed when the chronograph second hand does not return to the zero position after the chronograph has been reset, and including after the battery has been replaced.
  • Page 10 1. Pull the main crown out until it clicks twice. 2. Press the top button to set the chronograph second hand to the zero position. You may have to press the top button several times to get the chronograph back to its zero position. 3.

  • Page 11: The E6B

    The E6B Your Abingdon watch has an E6B slide rule along the inside of the bezel which can be rotated by a crown located at the 8 o’clock position. Practice using the E6B as it can help you EVERYWHERE! Traveling, flying, math class, even driving. It may look a little overwhelming at first, but after you’ve mastered it you’re going to wonder how you’ve gone so long without it! Ok, let’s begin.
  • Page 12 When these two rings match, you have a ratio of 1:1. So now rotate the number 30 on the outer scale so that it is in line with the 60 on the middle scale. 30 is half of 60 so you have now just created a ratio of 2:1 (two “30s”...
  • Page 13 in time, speed, and distance calculations. Isn’t that neat! And we’ve only just begun. Multiplication Whenever you want to multiply something quickly you can use your Abingdon watch. To do so, you must set one of the numbers on the outer ring to the 10 on the middle ring.
  • Page 14 2. Find the number 70 on the middle ring (make sure to treat the number 70 like it is actually the number 7.0) and read the number 35 on the outer ring. 5 x 7 = 35! Well done! 3. Let’s do the same problem the other way. Line up the 70 on the outer ring with the 10 on the middle ring.
  • Page 15 Practice these multiplication problems: 9 x 3 = 27 14 x 7 = 98 23 x 5 = 115 90 x 3 = 270 11 x 13 = 143 4 x 29 = 117 Division For division problems, you will not be setting any numbers under the 10 on the middle ring, because that is where your answer is going to be! The example below explains what I’m trying to say:...
  • Page 16 Let’s try a few practice problems. 230/5 = 46 5/2 = 2.5 (remember that decimal point!) 180/12 = 15 135/9 = 15 98/7 = 14 IMPORTANT Note: One thing you may have noticed starting off is that it seems that each number can be anything you want it to be.

  • Page 17: Time Calculations

    have to decide which value you need. If you choose 10 to represent the number “10,” then the calibrations or “notches” between 10 and 11 represent 0.1. Each notch reads: 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and so on. Take a look at your Abingdon watch to see what I mean.
  • Page 18 See if you can go around the entire face changing the hours to minutes. Take your Abingdon watch off your wrist first, though, or else you’ll twist your arm! Now that we have that settled, let’s work on some flight problems. Note that the middle ring will ALWAYS be time in minutes.
  • Page 19 Example 1: Let’s say your plane flies at 150 knots per hour. You want to find out how long it will take to fly 90 nautical miles. (If you don’t know how to convert statute miles to nautical miles, see the Conversions chapter on page ).
  • Page 20 In fact, you can choose any distance and, as long as you leave the rate set, you can figure out how long it will take you to fly any distance. For practice, set your plane’s cruise speed to the rate and find out how long it will take to go: 25 nautical miles 60 nautical miles...

  • Page 21: Speed Calculations

    Speed Calculations Before I forget, I want to mention one thing. Remember that the outer ring will ALWAYS be distance and speed. The middle and inner ring will always be time (minutes on the middle ring, hours on the inner ring). Keep this in mind for the upcoming speed/time/distance problems.
  • Page 22 Example 2: You flew 130 knots (distance) and it took you 47 minutes (time). What was your average speed? 1. Rotate the outer ring so that 130 (13 will represent 130 in this example) is in line with 2. Your average speed is found on the outer ring opposite the RATE arrow.

  • Page 23: Distance Calculations

    Distance Calculations For distance problems, you can figure this out once you have the time and speed. Example 3: You are traveling at 150 knots per hour (speed) and you want to know how far you will go after 20 minutes (time).
  • Page 24 Here are some practice problems to try: Speed Time Distance 125kts _______ 524NM _______ 2:30 345NM 110kts 1:40 _______...

  • Page 25: Fuel Consumption

    Fuel Consumption Calculations Fuel Burn Rate Let’s say you wanted to find out how much fuel you burned per hour while you were on your 6 ½ hour flight. After you landed and filled up the tank, you noticed that your tank took 17 gallons. Here is how you would find your fuel burn rate: 1.
  • Page 26 Now you can also find out other information using this example. Let’s say your fuel burn rate is 26 gph (gallons per hour) and you want to find out how long you could get on a full tank of usable fuel. If a full tank of gas was equal to 140 gallons (which you should know if you are flying a plane that has a maximum useable fuel of 140 gallons), then here is...
  • Page 27 2. Now find 14 (representing 140 gallons) on the outer ring. 3. Opposite 14, you should see 5:20 or as it is read on the middle ring, 32 (which represents 320 minutes). Therefore, you can go 320 minutes on a full tank of gas!

  • Page 28: Conversions

    Conversions Statute to Nautical This one is as easy as pie. On the outer ring, there is double-edged arrow around the number 70. On one side it has the word “NAUT,” for nautical and on the other side the word “STAT,” for statute. All you do is just put the figure you want to convert under one arrow and see what the conversion is under the other arrow.
  • Page 29 Statute to Kilometers To convert Statute to Kilometers, you will use the same idea as converting Statute to Nautical miles, but slightly different. Find the word “STAT” on the middle ring. It is located about 1 o’clock. Note: This is not the same “STAT” on the outer ring. Now find the “KM”...
  • Page 30 Using the arrows on your Abingdon watch, you can also convert easily: Feet Pounds Meters Liters Imperial Gallons Fuel Pounds US Gallons Oil Pounds Kilograms Currency Here is how to make vacation abroad much easier. First you must find out the exchange rate, then set it on your Abingdon watch.
  • Page 31 2. The outer ring will now always be US dollars and the middle ring will always be euros. So now if something costs €90.00, look at the 90 on the middle ring of your Abingdon watch and you will see it lines up with the 124 on the outer ring, so the item costs about $124.00.

  • Page 32: Miscellaneous

    Miscellaneous Can I wear my Abingdon while swimming or showering? Your Abingdon watch is fine in the shower or if you splash water on it. However, it is not recommended to swim with it on unless your watch is a 100 meter watch.
  • Page 33 residue on your watch. If the dirtiness level is really high, a watch service shop will be able to get the worst stains out. Will heat and cold affect a watch’s accuracy? Your Abingdon watch is designed to keep good time if worn on your wrist for at least seven hours a day.

  • Page 34: Warranty

    Can I change the battery myself? It is strongly recommended to take your Abingdon watch to a watch repair shop and have the pros do it. Unless you have the proper tools and experience changing watch batteries, please have a watch repairer do the job.
