B SETTINGTHETIME

1. When the small second hand (3) is on "0" seconds, pull out the crown (C) to position (2) to stop the watch.
2. Turn the crown to adjust the hands to the correct time.
3. Restart the watch by pushing the crown back to position (0).

C SETTINGTHE DATE

1. Pull out the crown (C) to position (1)

2. Rotate the crown anticlockwise until the required date appears.

3. Do not set the date between 9.00 p.m. and 1.00 a.m. in that it is during this period that the automatic date change mechanism is active and may be damaged.

4. Push the crown back to position (0)

CHRONOGRAPH OPERATION

With the crown in its normal position.

The chronograph can measure up to 12 hours in one second intervals.

Press button A or B as required:

Pressing button A repeats the accumulation.

• The hour hand and minute hand show the correct time even when the chronograph is in use.

ADJUSTING THE CHRONOGRAPH

If the hands of the chronograph do not return to the "0" position when the chronograph is reset:

1.Pull the crown out to position (2).
2. Press button A to move the second hand of the CHR 6 to the "0" position.

4. Push the crown back to position "0".
5. Press button ⑧ to reset the CHR minute hand and hour hand to "0".

F TACHYMETER*

The tachymeter is used to measure the speed of an automobile. By knowing how many seconds it takes for the vehicle to travel one kilometre, the tachymeter can measure the approximate average speed in km/h during a journey (over a maximum measurable time of 60 seconds).

If the chronograph is started at the same time as the start of the distance measurement and stopped after one kilometre, the average speed can be calculated from the position of the second hand. If the vehicle covers a distance of one kilometre in 45 seconds, then the average approximate speed is 80km / h .

G TELEMETER*

The telemeter is a distance indicator which allows distance to be calculated on the basis of the speed of sound. It is useful, therefore, for aviation, navy, army and artillery purposes. It can also measure how far away a thunderstorm is.

The hand is started the second a flash, smoke or lightning is seen and stopped when the actual sound is heard. The distance, from 1 to 20 kilometres, between the observer and the explosion or storm is read from the telemetry scale.

• Not available on all models

PRECAUTIONS AND USEFUL INFORMATION

The words “WATER RESISTANT” may sometimes be abbreviated to “WATER RESIST”.

• In order to prevent water coming into contact with the internal mechanism, never pull the crown out when the watch is wet.
• If any watches designed for sportswear or use in water come into contact with salt water or heavy sweating, they should be rinsed in fresh water and dried thoroughly.
• Contact with water may cause a deterioration in the quality of some leather straps.

*Always keep the crown in its normal position. *Fully tighten crown screw lock.

• As the internal parts of the watch can retain moisture, when the outside temperature is lower than the inside, the watch glass may mist-up. This phenomenon is purely temporary and should not create any problems. However, if it persists for any length of time, the watch should be checked by the shop where it was purchased or by the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

Temperature

Do not leave the watch exposed to direct sunlight or temperature extremes for long periods of time.

Long exposure, in fact, may adversely affect the operation of the watch and actually shorten battery life, causing it to gain or lose time and affect its other functions.

Impact

This watch can withstand normal everyday impacts and shocks and those normally imparted by non-contact sports such as golf and baseball. Serious damage, however, may result if the watch is dropped or subjected to severe shock.

Magnetic fields

This watch is antimagnetic up to 60 gauss, and is therefore not affected by magnetic fields produced by normal domestic appliances. If used near strong magnetic fields, its operation may be temporarily affected.

Static electricity

The integrated circuits present inside the watch are sensitive to static electricity. If the watch is exposed to intense electrical fields, the time display may temporarily lose some of its accuracy.

Chemicals and gases

Avoid wearing the watch in the presence of strong gases or chemical substances. Parts of the watch may discolour, dissolve or even break if brought into contact with benzol or petroleum based products such as solvents, thinners, detergents, adhesives etc.

Pay special attention to avoiding contact with chemicals.

The watch case and strap may discolour if they come into contact with mercury from a broken thermometer or other equipment.

Keeping the watch clean

Use an absorbent soft cloth to clean off any dirt or damp from the watch glass. Wearing the watch when the strap or back of the case is dirty can cause skin irritation. Keeping the watch clean also keeps shirt cuffs clean.

Cleaning the watch strap.

Metal bands: Use a toothbrush and soapy warm water to wash the dirt off.
- Plastic or rubber straps: Wash with water. Do not use solvents.
- Leather straps: Gently rub the face of the strap using a soft dry cloth. Clean the opposite side with a cloth and alcohol.

Periodic inspection

In order to guarantee long trouble-free operation, it is advisable to have the watch checked by an authorised assistance centre once every 12 months or two years.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children

If a battery is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
