position, pull crown out to position 3; watch stops.
3. Turn crown to move hands and set time, making
sure date changes at midnight, not noon.
4. Move hands slightly ahead of exact time, then
slowly turn crown counterclockwise to align minute
hand M with correct minute marker.
5. Take an accurate time signal (from a radio news
station, for example). When audible tone signals
exact time, push crown back in to position 1; watch
will restart, now set to the exact time.
6. Screw crown back down into case. See "Screw-
down Crown" for instructions.
To correct time zone and date:
1. Pull unlocked screw-down crown out to position 2.
2. Turn crown to move hour hand H ahead or back
after crossing into another zone, or to correct for
daylight savings/standard time change.
3. To change date D, advance hour hand H by two
complete revolutions, otherwise date will change at
noon. These adjustments will not stop the watch and
do not affect the time indicated by the minute and
seconds hands.
4. Once adjustments have been made, return crown
to position 1 immediately, then screw crown back
down into case.
CHRONOGRAPH FUNCTIONS
Overview
Use buttons A and B to operate the chronograph.
Pressing button A the first time will start the
chronograph. While the chronograph is running,
once the chronograph seconds counter hand C has
completed one turn, minute-counter hand E will jump
ahead one minute. Tenths-of-a-second hand G does
not move when the chronograph is running. Pressing
button A a second time will stop the chronograph and
move hand G to the relevant tenth-of-a-second mark.
