Crown

1. Pull the crown out to the 2^nd position so that the second hand stops at "0" position.
2. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands.
3. When the crown is pushed back to the normal position in synchronization with a time signal, small second hand begins to run.

1. Pull the crown out to the 1^st position.

2. Turn the crown anti-clockwise to set the date.

3. If the date is set between the hours of around 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM, the date may not change on the following day.

4. After the date has been set, push the crown back to the normal position.

This chronograph is able to measure and display the time in 1/1 second united up to a maximum of 60min .

[Measuring time with the chronograph]

1) Press button ⑧ to change the watch to the chronograph mode.

The second hand stops at the 0 second position, and changes to the chronograph 1/1 second hand.

2) The chronograph can be started and stopped each time button is pressed.
3) Pressing button ⑧ resets the chronograph and all hands return to their 0 positions.

Chronograph reset [incl. after replacing battery]

This procedure should be performed when the chronograph 1/1 second hand does not return to the 0 second position after the chronograph has been reset, and including after the battery has been replaced.

1. Pull the crow out to the 2nd position.
2. Press button to set the center chronograph second hand to the 0 position. The chronograph hands can be advanced rapidly by continuously pressing button .

3. Once the hands have been zeroed, reset the time and return the crown to its normal position.

4. Do not return crown to normal position while chronograph second hand returns to 12:00 (ZERO) position. Each hand stops on the way when the crown is returned to normal position and these positions are recognized as 12:00 (ZERO) position.

Place the module on case back and position the reference hand, then fit the hands according to the following procedure.

1. Pull out the crown to the time setting position.
2. Turn the crown anti-clockwise, and stop it just after the date changes. After the date starts changing, turn the crown slowly.
3. Push in the crown by one step, taking care not to turn it.
4. Fit the reference hand, hour hand and minute hand to the 12-o'clock position. When fitting the hands, remove the case back and place the movement on work stand.

The Tachymeter is used to measure the speed of a vehicle. By knowing how many seconds 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 1km , the average speed can be calculated from the position of the second hand. If the vehicle covers the distance one km in 45 seconds, the approximate average speed is 80km/h .

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.

• In order to prevent water from 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.
• As 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. 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 benzene 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.

Cleaning the watch strap:

Metal bands: use a toothbrush and soapy warm 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 two years.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children

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