In order to operate crown at 3 o’clock, you must

In order to insure that your watch remains water-resistant,

it is important that all push-buttons and the crown at 

3 o’clock are always returned to the locked position by 

pressing each against the case while turning it clockwise.

For model D45-GS it is important that crown at 10 o’clock is 

always returned to the locked position by pressing it 

against the case while screwing down the crown.

Thank you for choosing a timepiece from our Xezo for unite4:good collection.

The Xezo Air Commando Limited Edition 500 chronograph sports 2 crowns.

Crown (A) at 3 o’clock is used to adjust local time, day and date. 

Crown (B) at 10 o’clock operates the inner rotating bezel.

Your watch is fitted with Swiss-made precision quartz movement.

Important note:

 

To unlock the screw-down crown (A) turn it 4-5 times counter-clockwise.

Remark:

You can synchronize the seconds hand with an official time signal (radio/ TV/Internet). When the crown (A) 

is pulled out in Position “3” (two “clicks” out), the seconds hand is stopped. As soon as the time setting has 

been synchronized, return the screw-down crown (A) to the locked position by pressing it against the case 

and turning it clockwise. Screw-down crown (A) now should be screwed down tightly to Position “1”.

Using the rotating uni-directional bezel

This feature enables you to track elapsed time.
1.

Turn the bezel counter-clockwise until the zero mark is at the minute hand.

Important note: This model has unidirectional rotating bezel; the bezel only turns counter-clockwise to assure 

that if moved unintentionally, the time reading will err on the side of caution when measuring elapsed time.

2.

The position of the minute hand in relation to the zero mark on the bezel will indicate the total number of minutes 

elapsed.

Using dual-directional inner rotating bezel as additional time zone or to track elapsed time for models: D45-S, BU, B

This feature enables you to set the additional time zone or to track elapsed time. Hold the watch face-up with the 

numeral 6 pointing toward you. Then rotate the watch 180 degrees counterclockwise. 

(Numeral 12 now points toward you.) 

To set the additional time zone turn the Crown (B) clockwise or counterclockwise until the hour hand points to 

the desired marker on the hour scale of the inner rotating bezel. To track elapsed time turn the inner bezel in 

either direction until the triangle on it points to the hour hand.

Using dual-directional inner rotating bezel as additional time zone or to track elapsed time for Air Commando D45-GS model.

This feature enables you to set the additional time zone or to track elapsed time. Hold the watch face-up with the 

numeral 6 pointing toward you and the calendar on your right. 

Then rotate the watch 180 degrees counterclockwise. (Numeral 12 now points toward you.)

Hold the crown (B) with the thumb and index finger of your right hand. To unlock the inner bezel, turn the 

crown (B) 4 or 5 times counterclockwise. To set the additional time zone turn the crown (B) clockwise or 

counterclockwise until the hour hand points to the desired marker on the hour scale of the inner rotating bezel.

To track elapsed time turn the inner bezel in either direction until the triangle on it points to the hour hand. 

Once you have set the inner bezel, return the screw-down crown (B) to the locked position by pressing it 

against the case and turning it clockwise. The crown (B) should now be screwed down tightly.

Important Note:

In order to insure that your watch remains water-resistant, it is important that all push-buttons and 

Crown (A) are always returned to the locked position by pressing each against the case while turning 

it clockwise. For model D45-GS, Crown (B) also has to returned to the locked position.
