USING YOUR CHRONOGRAPH
1.
Measuring a single time span
a)
Press pusher E to start the chronograph. The large second hand will begin sweeping
clockwise. This allows you to visualise the elapsed time on the second graduations.
b)
To stop the chronograph, press pusher E again. The elapsed time is measured in minutes
(Sub-Dial A) and 1/5
th
of a second by viewing where the large second hand stops.
c)
To return the chronograph to a zero setting, press pusher F.
2.
Measuring an interrupted time span
a)
Press pusher E to start the chronograph. The large second hand will begin sweeping
clockwise. This allows you to visualise the elapsed time on the second graduations.
b)
To interrupt the time measurement process, press pusher E again. If you wish to resume
with your time measurement, press pusher E. Numerous separate time spans can thus be
measured cumulatively.
c)
To return the chronograph to a zero setting, press pusher F.
WATER-RESISTANCE
Your George J. von Burg automatic Classic Aviator chronograph watch has been designed to
withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 metres (165 feet or 5 ATM), providing the crown is
correctly screw-locked in place. Each individual timepiece we produce is tested in a pressure chamber
to a depth of 50 metres (165 feet or 5 ATM), prior to it leaving our centre. We advise, however, that
you regularly check that the crown remains securely locked before entering a water environment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must never activate the chronograph functions of your watch
while submerged in any underwater environment. Remember always to rinse your watch
carefully in fresh water after every exposure to seawater.
