Setting the time and date
1. To change the hour (e.g. because of a change of time
zone), adjust the crown (A) from Operating Position 1
(P1) to Set Position 2 (P2) and turn in either direction
to display the correct time. This mode allows you to
change the hour and date without any loss of minutes
or seconds. The date changes each time the hour hand
passes midnight.
Please note: If the date is set between the hours of 9pm
and 1am, the date will not change correctly.
2. To set the time adjust the crown to Set Position 3 (P3).
This will stop the second hand. Turn in either direction
until the correct minutes are displayed.
3. After setting the correct date and time, push the
crown back to Operating Position 1 (P1). The second
hand will resume. At the end of each month you may be
required to change the date manually.
Please note: Whilst the crown is in Position 2 (P2) or
Position 3 (P3), the watch is not moisture resistant.
Chronograph operation
This chronograph watch features traditional watch
functions: hours and minutes, jumping seconds sub dial
at 6 o’clock (1) and date indicator (2), plus a stopwatch
measuring minutes, seconds and 1/10 second.
The 1/10 second counter
This watch is able to measure time with an accuracy
of 1/10 second. The watch’s movement is therefore
equipped with a small dial (3) indicating 1/10
second. This sub dial uses a line index with a total
of 10 subdivisions from ‘0.0’. 10 times 1/10 second
= 1 second.
The second counter
In the centre of the dial, apart from the hour and minute
hand, is another hand called the second counter.
This counter indicates the number of seconds in the
measuring period. The number of seconds is read on
the outer main dial indicated through the mid-line
index with a total of 60 divisions. 1 round for the second
counter = 1 minute.
The minute counter
The other small dial (4) shows the number of minutes
in the measuring period. Each time the second counter
completes one rotation, the counter hand moves one
step forward equal to 1 minute. This sub dial uses a line
index with a total of 30 divisions. 1 round for the minute
counter = 1/2 hour.
Function: chronograph
All the functions of the chronograph are controlled
through the two push buttons: (A) and (B). Push button
(A) has two functions: (START) and (STOP). Push button
(B) also has two functions: (SPLIT) and (RESET).
When you need to measure a specific event, push
button (A) once. You will see the second counter
hand in the centre moving forward. The 1/10 second
counter hand stays at ‘0.0’, which is correct. A separate
component inside the watch movement keeps track
of the 1/10 second.
When the timed event is over, you must push button
(A) again. The chronograph hands stop and you can
read the result. Notice that the 1/10 second counter
hand rotates to display this value.
