This quartz chronograph model features a tenths-of-
a-second counter, minute counter (up to 30), and
small seconds subdials; center-mounted chronograph
seconds hand; and date window. It can be used to
time an event up to 29 minutes and 59.9 seconds in
duration to the nearest 1/10 of a second.
TIME/DATE SETTING
To adjust the time:
1. As soon as the small seconds hand
S
in the subdial at
6 o’clock reaches the <<60>> position, pull crown
out to position 2; watch stops.
2. Turn crown in either direction to move hands and set
the time – check that the date changes at midnight,
not at noon.
3. Move the hands slightly ahead of the exact time, then
slowly turn the crown counterclockwise to align the
minute hand
M
with the correct minute marker.
4. Take an accurate time signal (from a radio news
station, for example). When the audible tone signals
the exact time, push crown back in to position 1;
watch will restart, now set to the exact time.
To correct time zone and date:
IMPORTANT: DO NOT change the date between
10:00 PM and 2:00 AM when automatic calendar
changes are in progress. Doing so could damage the
movement.
These adjustments will not stop the watch and do not
affect the time indicated by the minute and seconds
hands.
1. Pull crown out to position 2.
2. Turn crown in either direction to move hour hand
H
one or several hours ahead or back, or to change the
time after crossing into another zone.
3. To change the date
D
, advance the hour hand
H
by two complete revolutions, so that the date will
change at midnight, not noon.
4. Once the adjustments have been made, return the
crown to position 1 immediately.
