SETTING THE DATE AND THE TIME

Your watch is wound automatically when you wear it on your wrist.
If the watch is not worn often enough, the movement will have to be
wound manually by turning the crown at least twenty times in posi-
tion 1.

To set date and time

A. Wind the movement if necessary.

B. There are

two ways to set the date:

a) By using the rapid Date Corrector located at 10 o’clock position
on side of watch case. Gently apply pressure to the date correc-
tor and advance calendar to desired date. 

NOTE:

Rapid date correction is not possible between 8:30pm and

11pm.

or

b) Pull out the crown to position 2 (fully extended). Rotate the
crown toward you until the date showing is the correct date.
When midnight is reached, the date will advance. 

Continue to turn the crown until the desired time is set.
Remember, the date advances at 12:00 midnight, not 12:00 noon.

C. Push in the crown, returning it to position 1. The date and time are

now set.

CHRONOGRAPH OPERATING PROCEDURE

This chronograph movement features a 12 hour counter-hand, a 30
minute counter hand and one second counter (located on center
post).

How to Measure Elapsed Times

• Press Pusher A (at 2 o’clock) to start the timing operation.

• Press again to stop timing. 

These two operations may be repeated several times, to add short
time measurements.

Once the timing operation has been completed, press Pusher B
(at 4 o’clock) briefly until the hands revert to the original position.
