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 coun- terclockwise until the crown moves away from the watch.

P.M. time. Push the crown back to Position 1. 3. For a watch with day and date display, pull out the crown of the watch to Po- sition 2, turn it clockwise to change the day and counterclockwise to change the date.
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.

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 (tim- ing a continuous event and sub-events simultaneously; e.g., timing an indi- vidual lap and an entire race). note: the 1/10-second timer (right subdial) will not move until the stop button is pushed.
Page 11
1. Press the top pusher to start the stopwatch. 2. To read a lap or other intermediate segment of time, push the bottom push- er. The watch hands will stop, but the watch will continue to time the total event internally.

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.

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.

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.

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 chrono- graph feature to measure speed over a distance of one mile or one kilometer.
Page 21
The TelemeTer The Telemeter (distance in kilometers indicator along the outer edge of the watch dial is used for measuring distances with the help of sound. Example in the situation of a thunderstorm: 1. Begin with Chronograph hands (stop watch) at zero.
3. Stop the Chronograph hand when hearing the thunder. 4. The Chronograph hand will point to a numeral on the telemeter scale, in- dicating 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.

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 sec- ond time zone or whenever you set the second time zone (see table on pages 30-31).
