12 GAUGE

™ 

Technology  has  a  purity  all  its  own,  and  we  captured  it  in  the  gauges  of  this  time  machine.  Oakley  12-Gauge 

combines the precision of scientific instrumentation with the refinement of Swiss Made 13-jewel movement and 

the authenticity of original Oakley art. An onboard chronograph offers accumulated and interval timing, and like the 

integrated audible alarm, it comes with a dedicated sub dial. Accessed by a separate crown, an internal bezel can be 

rotated for displaying a second time zone or utilized as a countdown timer, and a tachymeter scale measures speed 

based on travel time and distance. 
The case is crafted with the durability of impact forged 316L stainless steel. Two screw-down crowns maintain water 

resistance against pressure equivalent to a depth of 330 feet (100m). Protected by a pure sapphire crystal with anti-

reflective coating, the eight-hand display includes an easy-to-read date indicator. This time machine is optimized 

with a 48-month battery and matched with your choice of stainless steel bracelet or unobtainium

®

 rubber strap.

SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

your  Oakley  timepiece  has  two  crowns,  and  both  are 

made  with  a  screw-down  design  that  provides  added 

protection against moisture. The main crown (3 o’clock 

position)  can  be  pulled  out  to  two  click  positions  for 

setting the date and time.
To set the date and time the first time (or to reset the 

date  and  time  after  the  battery  is  changed),  do  the 

following:
1. unscrew  the  main  crown  from  the  case.  Pull  the 

crown out to the first click position (a).

2. Turn  the  crown  clockwise  until  yesterday’s  date 

appears.

3. Pull the crown out to the second click position (b).
4. Turn  the  hands  forward  until  today’s  date  appears, 

then  continue  forward  until  the  current  time  is 

reached.  If  the  current  time  is  in  the  afternoon  or 

evening, move the hour hand all the way around the 

dial to pass 12 noon.

5. Push  the  crown  back  in.  Gently  turn  the  crown 

clockwise  until  it  screws  back  into  the  case.  Be 

careful  not  to  over  tighten  the  crown,  as  this  will 

damage the mechanism.

To  set  the  exact  second,  wait  until  the  hand  on  the 

second-counting  sub  dial  (at  the  right  of  the  main  dial 

face) reaches “60” before you pull out the crown to the 

second  click  position  (b).  Set  the  time  then  wait  until 

the  exact  second  is  reached  before  pushing  the  crown 

back in.
