Usage / Settings
Models with a screw-down crown
To ensure even better water resistance, some models are fitted with a screw-down crown. Before setting the time or date, you must first unscrew the crown to
position
IB
before pulling it out to position
II
or
III.
Important : After each operation, you must always screw the crown back down to ensure that your watch remains water resistant.
Setting the time
Pull the crown out to position
III
and turn it clockwise or anticlockwise to set the desired time. Once the hour hand passes the 12 o'clock position, you can see if it
indicates midnight (the date changes at this point) or midday (the date does not change).
Advice on how to synchronise your watch
Synchronize the small seconds hand, located at 6 o’clock, to an official time signal (radio/ TV/Internet) by pulling out the crown to position
III
; the seconds hand will
stop. Once the time has been synchronized, push the crown back to position
I
(and tighten it back down on models with a screw-down crown).
Winding
Quartz watches never need to be wound.
Rapid date correction
Pull the crown out to position
II
and turn it backwards until the desired date is displayed.
Congratulations
We congratulate you on choosing a CERTINA
®
chronograph. Meticulously designed using high-quality materials and components, it is protected against
impacts, variations in temperature, water and dust, and also features the
DS
concept.
With its chronograph function, this model is able to time events lasting up to 60 minutes, displaying the results to the nearest second, and offers the following
functions:
– Standard START–STOP function
– ADD function (partial times)
– SPLIT function (intermediate times)
To ensure the operating precision of your chronograph for many years to come, we advise you to pay careful attention to the advice given in this manual.
The
DS
(double security) concept is characterised by:
– its scratch and impact resistance,
– its tough sapphire crystal,
– a gasket on the crown and a gasket on the stem, ensuring the watch's water resistance even with the crown pulled out,
– a reinforced case back.
Resetting the counters
The counters must be reset before starting timing. If necessary, proceed as follows:
1
Zero the 60 minute counter hand (crown in position
II
, push-piece
B
)
2
Zero the 30 second retrograde counter hand (crown in position
III
, push-piece
A
)
3
Zero the 5 minute retrograde counter hand (crown in position
III
, push-piece
B
)
Simple timing
Note:
All the timing functions are available with the crown pressed into position
I
.
The "simple timing" function enables you to measure isolated events.
