SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
The chronograph has a push button crown with special gaskets that guarantee water-resistance to
300 meters.
The crown has three positions
(fig. 2):
– in (position 0)
– neutral (position 1)
– out (position 2)
Turning the crown has no effect, whatever position it is in.
To set the time and date, pull the crown out to position 2.
Note:
The time and date can only be set in TIME mode. Pulling out the crown to position 2 in CHRONO
or REGATTA modes has no effect.
Using the seconds hand
When setting the time and date, the seconds hand
indicates which element you are setting (hour, AM/PM
minute, year, month, day).
Example:
When the seconds hand is at 00.15 you are
setting the hour (afternoon).
Note:
To help you set the time and date, the back of your
Aquaracer Calibre S Regatta has been engraved with this
key:
AM: 45’
Month: 00’
PM: 15’
Year: 55’
