(Does not apply to Perpetual Calendar models.) To start

your watch remove the plastic guard from under the

crown, then press the crown in against the case.

Some watches require the setting crown to be screwed

in. If your watch case has a protrusion with screw

threads, the crown must be screwed in after setting the

watch.

To screw in, push the crown ﬁrmly against the threaded

protrusion and hold in while turning the crown clockwise.

Continue to screw in the crown until it is tight. You will

need to unscrew the crown (counter-clockwise) before

pulling it out the next time you want to set your watch.

Before use, the compass must be calibrated.

Since a compass uses the earth’s magnetic ﬁeld, you

must be aware of large metallic objects, such as vehicles

or bridges, or objects that give off electromagnetic

radiation, such as televisions or computers, which

could affect the magnetic ﬁeld around the watch. If the

compass is calibrated near such objects, it will only

work properly in that same location. If the compass

is calibrated away from such objects, it will not work

properly near them. For best results, calibrate in the area

of intended use.

In calibrating and taking headings, it is important, as with

all compasses, to keep the compass level. Calibrating or

taking a heading when the watch is not level can result

in large errors. Also avoid areas that may exhibit higher

than normal concentrations of hard and soft iron, as they

may cause inaccurate headings. Whenever a heading is

suspect, recalibrate.

Do not store the watch near any source of magnetism,

such as a computer, appliance, or television, as the

watch can take on a magnetic charge, yielding inaccurate

headings. Typical accuracy of wrist-worn instruments is

within +/- 10 degrees.

To calibrate the compass:

1. Pull the crown to its middle position and wait for the

indicator hands to stop moving.

2. Keep the watch level or place it on a level surface (if

the band interferes, place the watch on an inverted

cup). The watch may be face down, but take care to

protect the watch face.

5. If you do not wish to set the magnetic declination,

push the crown in. Otherwise, to have watch

automatically compensate for the declination angle,

turn the compass ring until north is at 12 o’clock.

6. Press A or B to move the 4th center hand west (-)

or east (+), respectively, to point to your location’s

declination angle using the declination scale. Hold a

button to move the hand quickly. See the ﬁ gure below

for an example.

3. Press C (COMPASS) to begin. The 4th center hand

rotates two revolutions to remind you to rotate the

watch. While level, SLOWLY rotate the watch two

revolutions, taking at least 15 seconds per revolution.

4. When done, press C (Compass), keeping the watch

available through buttons A (START/STOP) and B (FLY-

 During compass operation, the second hand

moves in two-second increments. Also, when the

compass is activated, the upper and lower hands may

shift position slightly, returning to their proper positions

when the compass is deactivated. This operation is

normal and yields the most accurate compass reading.



Normally, the compass is inactive, with the 4th center

hand pointing to 12 o’clock or showing the chronograph

seconds.

While holding the watch level, press C (COMPASS) to

activate the compass. The compass hand moves to

point north. If the watch is turned, the 4th center hand

will continue to move, always pointing north. After 20

seconds, the compass will automatically turn off and the

4th center hand will return to its normal operation. This

conserves battery life. Press C (COMPASS) at any time to

keep the compass on for another 20 seconds.

The compass may be activated while the chronograph is

in use. The 4th center hand merely switches operation

temporarily. The upper and lower hands continue to show
