Note: 24 hour hand, hour hand, minute hand, date 
wheel:
• Continue to display the current time when the watch

has been switched from the time/calendar mode.

• Continues to display local time when the watch

has been switched from the local time mode.

• Continues to display the alarm set time when the

watch has been switched from the alarm mode. 

[Chronograph Measurement]
1. Turn the crown to set the mode hand to the

chronograph [CHR] mode.

2. Press button (A) to start and stop the chronograph.

A confirmation tone is heard whenever button (A)
is pressed.

3. Continuously pressing button (A) when the

chronograph is stopped causes the chronograph
second hand and chronograph minute hand to be
reset to the 0 position.

12. Setting Local Time
The local time function allows the time in a different
time zone to be set separately from the current time.
Local time is set by performing a time difference
correction in 1 hour units based on the current time
(time of the time mode/TME). The minute and second
hands move in co-ordination with the current time.
[Time Difference Correction Procedure]

1. Turn the crown to set the

mode hand to the local time
[L-TM] mode.

2. Pull out the crown to Position

2 (local time setting position).

3. Click the crown to the right or

left to correct the time
difference.

• When the crown is clicked to the right, the hour

hand moves by 1 hour in the clockwise direction.

• When the crown is clicked to the left, the hour hand

moves by 1 hour in the counter-clockwise direction.

Note: The hour hand is not advanced rapidly even if

the crown is continuously clicked two or more
times. Perform correction accurately 1 hour at
a time. Furthermore, the range of time
difference correction is 

23 hours based on

the current time.

4. Always make sure to return the crown to the

normal position after correcting the time
difference.

Note: If the hour hand passes 12:00 AM (midnight)

during correction, the date is advanced by one
day following the completion of hand movement.
If the time difference is corrected in the
counter-clockwise direction and the hour hand
passes back over 12:00 AM, although the
date is corrected following completion of hand
movement, since the date is corrected by 30
days in the clockwise direction, it takes about
2-3 minutes for the date to be corrected. Pay
attention to AM and PM when correcting time
difference.

Note: When returning the time difference to the

original setting, return the hour hand in the
direction opposite that when the time
difference was corrected.

13. Using the Alarm
The alarm function uses a 24-hour clock. Once the
alarm has been set, the alarm sounds for 15 seconds
when the time is reached once a day. The time at
which the alarm sounds applies to the time (TME)
mode, and cannot be set based on the local time (L-
TM).

[Setting the Alarm Time]
1. Turn the crown and set the

mode hand to the alarm
[ALM] mode.

• Second hand: Moves rapidly

to the ON or OFF position

• 24 hour hand, hour hand,

minute hand: Move the previously set alarm time.
• Function hand: Stops at the 0 position.
2. Pull out the crown to position 2 (alarm setting

position).
• The alarm setting is turned ON automatically.

3. Click (turn) the crown to set the alarm time.

(1) Clicking once to the right causes the hour and

minute hands to move clockwise.

(2) Clicking once to the left causes the hour and

minute hands to move counter-clockwise.

• Turning the crown rapidly (continuously

clicking two or more times) causes the hands
to advance rapidly. When stopping the hands,
click the crown once to the right or left. When
the hands are not stopped manually, they stop
automatically after being corrected by 12 hours.

• Set the alarm while making sure not to mistake

AM and PM by referring to the 24 hour hand.

4. Return the crown to the normal position after

setting the alarm time.

[Switching Alarm ON and OFF]
The alarm is switched ON and OFF each time
button (A) is pressed when the crown is pulled out
to Position 1 or Position 2 in the alarm mode.
