How to use the chronograph?

Press push button A to start and stop timing. Press push button B to reset the chronograph hands to zero. The minute counter (at 9 o'clock) and hour counter (at 6 o'clock) total up to 12 hours.

Use push button A to adjust the center second hand, then press B to move to the next hand. Repeat for the minute and hour counters. Push the crown back to position I to finish.

After a battery change, how to set the date and time?

Pull the crown to position II to set the day before the current date, then to position III to stop the second hand. Turn the crown to advance to the current date, then continue to the correct time. Observe the 24-hour cycle to avoid AM/PM reversal.
