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. This will set the

crown in Position 1.

Always screw down the crown after making any adjustments. This is very

important as the screw-down crown assures water resistance.

1. Pull out the crown to Position 2 (one «click» out). Rotate crown counter-

clockwise until the date shows one day earlier than the date you want to set.

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. 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.

4. Return the crown to the fully depressed Position 1, assuring the crown has

been further screwed down on all diver watches.

For Watches Without a Date Display

1. To set the time for watch without date display, pull out the crown to Position

2.

Turn the crown either clockwise or counterclockwise to set the correct

time.

2. Return the crown to the fully depressed Position 1, assuring the crown has

been screwed down on all diver watches.

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. It will then record the elapsed

1/10-seconds.

seconds. It is also capable of measuring split-timed events (timing a continu-

ous event and sub-events simultaneously; e.g., timing an individual lap and

an entire race).

Stopwatch (30-Minute or 12-Hour)

1. To start the stopwatch, push the top pusher.

2. To stop it, push the top pusher again

.

3. Read the seconds, minutes, and hours on the appropriate dials (see the sec-

tion of this manual that corresponds to your watch for dial identiﬁcation).

4. To reset the stopwatch to zero, push the bottom pusher.

Note: The clock function will continue to operate while using the stopwatch.

Using the Split-Timing Function

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.

3. To resume timing the total event, push the bottom pusher again.

4. You may repeat this as often as you like. The internal clock will continue to

time the total event each time you repeat the process.

5. To stop timing the total event, push the top pusher.

6. Reset the stopwatch to zero by pushing the bottom pusher.

USING THE 12-HOUR CHRONOGRAPH WITH SLIDE

RULE FUNCTION (SR)

This SR can perform a variety of calculations from currency conversions to

multiplication and division problems with 94% accuracy. With the circular

slide, you can calculate any conversion of a linear nature with a constant ratio

such as ounces to grams, kilograms to pounds, miles to kilometers, etc.

Important note: The 10:00 crown features a screw-down mechanism to

protect against accidental adjustments. Rotate the crown counterclockwise

to move the crown away from the watch. Always screw down the crown af-

ter making adjustments. This is vital for protecting your watch against water

intrusion.

1. Rotate the 10:00 crown counterclockwise until it moves away from the

watch. This will set the crown in Position 2.

14

2. Rotate crown until the large arrow on the inner scale is aligned with the

number «60» on the outer scale. Notice that all the numbers in the inner

and outer scale match up.

3. Decimal points. Depending on the context of your problem, you will decide

whether to read the number “10” on the inner scale as 1, 10, 100 or 1,000.

The markers between numbers indicate the calibration. (e.g., the calibra-

tion between 10 and 11 are each 0.1 so, 2 calibrations above the 10 will

read at 10.2. The calibration between 15 and 16 are each 0.2 so 2 calibra-

tions above the 15 will read as 15.4)

Multiplication

1. Set the large 10 with the arrow on the inner scale over the number you want

to multiply on the outer scale. (e.g., for 32 x 7 = 224, set the (10/arrow)

number opposite the 32 on the outer scale.)

2. Read the result on the outer sca

le opposite the number you are multiplying

by on the inner scale. (e.g., for 32 x 7, read the number on the outer scale

opposite 7 on the inner scale).

15

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. Read the result on the outer scale opposite the (10/arrow) number on the

inner scale.

Ratios and Conversions

When the numbers on the outer scale and the inner scale match, the ratio

between the two scales is 1:1. When you rotate the inner scale so that the

number (10/arrow) is opposite the 20 on the outer scale, the ratio between

the two scales is 2:1. This feature is useful to convert any linear conversion

like currencies or weight/length from standard to metric. Simply ﬁnd how

many units of one measurement equals one unit of the other and match up

that number with the number (10/arrow).

16

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. As an example, look at 85 on the outer scale. It is pointing to 30 on

the inner scale. Making a decimal point adjustment to 3.0 you now know that

3 oz. are almost 85 grams.

Currency Conversion

Suppose the currency rate for the Swiss Franc is SFR 1.30 to $1.00 USD.

Rotate the inner scale to set (10/arrow) number opposite the 13 on the outer

scale. The outer scale becomes Swiss Francs and the inner scale reﬂects the

USD equivalent (e.g., to convert SFR 4.00 to USD, look at the number on the

inner scale opposite the 40 on the outer scale and you will see the number 31.

Therefore, SFR 4.00 = $3.10 USD).

17

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. Read the corresponding km value on the outer scale that is set opposite the

«MPH/KM» arrow on the inner scale. (e.g., to convert 25 mph to kilome-

ters per hour, set the STAT arrow opposite 25 on the outer dial. The MPH/

KM arrow is pointing to 40 which indicates 25 MPH = 40 K/H.)

3. To convert from miles to km, do the reverse.

TIME ZONE

Important note: The 2:00 crown features a screw-down mechanism to pro-

tect against accidental adjustments. Rotate the crown counterclockwise to

move the crown away from the watch. Always screw down the crown after

making adjustments. This is vital for protecting your watch against water

intrusion.

1. Rotate the 2:00 crown counterclockwise until the crown moves away from

the watch. This will set the crown in Position 2.

2. Rotate the 2:00 crown (be patient, it’s not as easy to rotate as the 4:00

crown) clockwise until a city in the same time zone as your local time zone

appears (e.g., Central Europe = Paris).

3. Pull out the 4:00 crown to Position 2 (one «click» out). Rotate the 4:00

crown counterclockwise to set the hour hand to the local time on the 24-

hour inner bezel.
