RAYMOND WEIL GENEVE - Quartz Chronograph Watches Manual

INTRODUCTION

Your RAYMOND WEIL watch is fitted with a high-quality chronograph quartz movement. A quartz watch enjoys the advantage of being extremely precise.

In order to guarantee the perfect functioning of your RAYMOND WEIL watch for many long years, we thank you to pay close attention to the advice contained in these Instructions for Use as well as in the International Guarantee booklet.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DIAL

Certain RAYMOND WEIL chronographs are also equipped with a tachometric scale, enabling the measurement of speed in km/hr or other units.

CHANGING THE DATE AND SETTING THE TIME

Normal position
Rapid date change
Time-setting

Your RAYMOND WEIL watch may be fitted with a screw-down crown. Before setting the time or changing the date, it is therefore necessary to unscrew the crown by pulling it straight out and turning it anti-clockwise. The crown will then be released by a spring. After completing all settings, press lightly on the crown, while turning it clockwise, and screw it back in gently in order to preserve your watch's water-resistance.

CHANGING THE DATE

In order to adjust the date rapidly, pull the crown out to position 2. Then, depending on the model of your watch, turn the crown forwards or backwards until the desired date appears in the window. The date changes as the hour hand passes midnight. During this operation, your watch will continue to function and so will not need to be reset.

After finishing your changes, always push the crown back in to position 1, in order to preserve your watch's water-resistance.

SETTING THE TIME

In order to adjust the time, pull the crown out to position 3 and turn it forwards or backwards until the hands indicate the desired time.

After setting the time, always push the crown back in to position 1, in order to restart the hands and to preserve your watch's water-resistance.

USE OF THE CHRONOGRAPH

The chronograph function can only be used when the crown is in position 1.

USE OF THE CHRONOGRAPH

START

Press push-button A to activate the seconds hand of the chronograph. If the timed activity lasts longer than 60 seconds, the time elapsed will next appear on the minutes counter and after a further 30 minutes on the 1/10 second counter, which has by now become an hours counter.

STOP

Press push-button A a second time to stop the chronograph and obtain the time that has elapsed (in minutes, seconds and 1/10s of a second; or in hours, minutes and seconds after 30 minutes). By pressing push-button A again, timing restarts immediately. Thus you can measure several consecutive time-durations.

RESETTING TO ZERO

Press push-button B in order to reset all the chronograph counters to zero. Your watch is now ready to start timing again. Resetting to zero is only possible once the chronograph has been stopped.

INTERMEDIATE TIMING

Press push-button A to start the chronograph. Then press push-button B to obtain the first intermediate time. While the chronograph is stopped, the activity continues to be timed. Press push-button B again to allow the chronograph hands to make up the time elapsed since the first stop. Press push-button A to stop the chronograph and read off the total time. Press push-button B to reset to zero.

If one or several of the chronograph hands are not in their exact starting position, it is necessary to adjust them. Therefore pull the crown out to position 3. Press push-buttons A and B simultaneously for at least 2 seconds. The chronograph seconds hand then rotates through 360° and the correction mode is activated. Next, press push-button A to adjust the seconds hand (a short push to adjust step by step, or a long push for continuous adjustment). Then press push-button B to pass on to the following hands (1/10 second, then minutes) and adjust them as previously explained. Push the crown back in to position 1 when adjustment is completed.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Your RAYMOND WEIL watch is powered by a battery with an average life of approximately 36 months, which can vary according to the frequency of chronograph usage. In order to make the battery last longer, pull the crown out to position 3 whenever you do not intend to wear your watch for a while.

Once exhausted, the battery should be replaced without delay, in order to avoid any risk of damage to the movement.

Please have your watch battery changed only by an approved RAYMOND WEIL dealer.

NOTICE

Disposal of a watch by non-compliant methods may cause harm to the environment and is heavily fined according to the regulations established by each one of the EU member countries in application of the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Directive 2002/96/EC WEEE). Should you need to dispose of an old watch, please set it aside for separate waste collection or give it to a retailer when purchasing a new watch.
RAYMOND WEIL and its approved dealers are at your disposal to provide you with additional information on the subject.
