ENGLISHENGLISH e Tides Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined eects of gravitational forces exerted by the Moon, Sun, and rotation of the Earth. ere are multiple types of sea tides. In most locations you will nd the ‘principal lunar semi-diurnal’ sea tide. e period for one rise and fall of the sea level is about 12 hours, 25 minutes and 14 seconds. Setting the tides You can set the tides according to the location you wish to record on your watch. Of course the selected coast has to have a ‘twice-daily tide’ (the internet is a useful tool to nd this information). e best thing to do is to synchronise the tide indicator with the highest or the lowest level of the water. For example: if you have selected a coastal high tide at 14:15 hours, turn your tide indicator to the highest water level at that time. (the internet is a useful tool to nd the times for high and low tides for the coast chosen). In order to set the correct tide carefully pull the crown out by one click

. Turn the crown so thatthe water in the window moves until it has reached the correct tide (high or low). en push the crown in completely. Setting the time Pull out the crown as far as possible, position

. Now move the hands forward until the correct time is reached. Once the hands show the right time, push the crown in completely. Setting the moon phase To set the watch to the correct moon phase, use the enclosed accessory to push in the push button

located at the 9 o’clock position on the left-hand side of the watch case. Press so that the moon ball begins to turn until it has reached the correct moon phase. (e internet is a useful tool to nd the right moon phase). ENGLISHENGLISH Functionalities

e moon phases are shown three dimensionally at the 6 o‘clock position. If the moon is completely black, it is a new moon. is is followed by the waxing moon up to the rst quarter, with the right-hand side of the moon visible. After that, the full moon is displayed, followed by the waning moon up to the last quarter, with the left-hand side of the moon visible. e lunar cycle ends with the new moon, and then starts again at the beginning.
