Function: reset

After you have read the time, the chronograph hands 
must be returned to the default position. Push button 
(B) and the hands will return to Position 0, also know as 
zero position. The chronograph is now ready to time 
another event.

Function: split

The movement has another important function 
called (SPLIT), used for timing intermediate times 
during an event.

Start the timer by pressing button (A). When you 
reach the instant you wish to read an intermediate 
time (without stopping the chronograph and only 
‘freezing’ the time on the dial) push button (B). The 1/10 
second counter hand is placed and the second counter 
hand stops moving. You can now read the (SPLIT) time 
result whilst the chronograph movement continues to 
record the event.

When you have finished reading the (SPLIT) time, 
push button (B). You will notice now that the hands 
move at a faster rate for a short while until they have 
caught up with the current timed event. Once this has 
happened, they will continue to move as normal. You 
may repeat the (SPLIT) function more than once in one 
timed event. When the timed event has ended, press 
button (A) as normal to read the total timed result then 
return the chronograph hands to the zero position by 
pressing button (B).

Setting the hands of the chronograph

After a battery change or if the function is affected 
by a severe knock or exposure to a strong magnetic 
field, the hands of the chronograph should be reset 
to zero position.

Resetting the minute counter hand

1. Adjust the crown to Set Position 2 (P2). 
2. By means of short, successive pushes on the 
chronograph button (B), turn the minute counter hand 
back to zero.

Resetting the second counter hand  

and 1/10 second hand

1. Adjust the crown to Set Position 3 (P3). 
2. By means of short, successive pushes on the 
chronograph button (A), turn the second counter hand 
back to zero. 
3. Repeat this for the chronograph button (B), turning 
the 1/10 second counter hand back to zero. Once all 
chronograph hands are reset to zero position, push the 
crown back to Operating Position 1 (P1).

Please note: DO NOT push the crown back to Operating 
Position 1 (P1) until all chronograph hands have been 
returned to zero position.

Please note: DO NOT keep the crown in Position 2 (P2) 
for more than 20 minutes.

Watch care

Your Uniform Wares watch requires a certain amount of 
care. The following guidelines will enable you to ensure 
its reliability and protect its appearance over time.

Cleaning

Please use a clean, lint-free cloth with warm water 
or, if required, a mild detergent diluted in water to 
remove any dirt from the case. To clean the lens use 
a clean chamois cloth. Avoid submerging the watch 
case in water.

Battery

Your watch’s power source is a Swiss-made Renata cell 
which has an estimated lifespan of 51 months. The life 
of the battery will depend upon the frequency with 
which you use the chronograph functions. When your 
battery requires replacing, please refer to the Uniform 
Wares website www.uniformwares.com/service for 
information on battery replacement.

Water resistance

This watch is designed to withstand everyday use and 
has a 5ATM water resistance rating. Exposure to high 
humidity and light rain showers is acceptable. However, 
you should avoid wearing the watch whilst showering, 
swimming, diving or during any other activity where 
it may be subjected to abnormal water pressures or 
environments where abnormal heat and moisture are 
present (e.g. saunas or hot tubs). This combination 
may have a negative effect on the seals and gaskets 
of the watch.

Condensation

If your watch experiences a sudden change in 
temperature or pressure, a slight condensation may 
appear under the sapphire glass. This mist should 
disappear by itself and will not affect the functioning 
of your watch. If the condensation persists, please 
contact www.uniformwares.com/service.
