I. GENERAL INFORMATION

Congratulations on having chosen a Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece. To ensure your timepiece operates perfectly, we recommend that you follow the advice given in these instructions (All instruction manuals are also available on our website: www.victorinoxswissarmy.com – Customer Service – User Manuals. For U.S. and Canada: www.swissarmy.com).

Your timepiece is fitted with either a screw-down or a “pull-out” crown. In order to establish which, gently try to pull out the crown to position 2, if that works, your timepiece is fitted with a “pull-out” crown. If not, use your thumb and forefinger to apply mild pressure on the crown, while rotating towards you to release it. If it does so, you have a screw-down crown.

After use, push the crown back in or screw it down until it is secure in order to maintain the water resistance of your timepiece.

Quartz timepieces are battery-operated. When the battery is exhausted, we recommend that you have it replaced immediately at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA Service Centre where the water resistance of your timepiece will also be checked. The battery is not covered by the warranty.

SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS

• To avoid any errors, do not perform the DATE SETTING between 9:00 p.m. a 3:00 a.m. when the date mechanism is in action. Be careful not to confuse no and midnight.
• Never operate pushers or crown when your timepiece is under water or if it is wet and ensure that the crown and pushers are properly pushed bac or screwed down after each use.
• We recommend that you have the water resistance of your timepiece checked at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA Service Centre every 18 months or whenever the timepiece case is opened.

Adjusting the date and day for all other timepieces

(For timepieces with alarm and dual time features, please refer to the related sections in Chapter III):

1. Pull out the crown to position 3. Turn the crown counter-clock-wise to move hands until you reach midnight (as the calendar jump phase is situated at 12:00 midnight or between 10:30 p.m. and 12:00 midnight) and then set the correct time.
2. Set the crown in position 2.
3. Turn it clockwise to the desired date.
4. Turn it counter-clockwise to the desired day (if your timepiece is fitted with this function).
5. Push the crown back to position 1.

MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC WINDING

Crown in position 1 (unscrewed)

Manual winding: You must wind any simple mechanical timepiece daily and at a regular time in order to ensure the smooth running of your timepiece. All you have to do is turn the crown back and forth until you feel a slight resistance. (To avoid damaging the mechanism, do not over-wind.)

Automatic winding: Mechanical self-winding timepieces wind themselves automatically when worn on the wrist. If your timepiece stops or is not worn

sufficiently, the movement will have to be wound manually by turning the crown back and forth a few times.

VISUAL COUNTDOWN

To determine if you have the visual countdown feature, look at the timepiece dial. You will see an inner bezel. If it has a triangle at 12 o'clock with numerals counting down clockwise from 60, you have the visual countdown feature.

When rotating the countdown setting crown (A), simply align minutes on the inner bezel to be counted down with the minute hand (i.e. 20 minutes).

When the minute hand reaches the triangle (0 minute), 20 minutes will have been counted down.

Note: the countdown feature works for a duration between 1 and 60 minutes.

GMT TIME SCALE

Using the rotating crown (A), rotate inner bezel to select the time zone where you currently are and align it with “City” marking at 12 o'clock.

Note: GMT time is on a 24 hour military time scale.

To set the GMT time (hand with special arrow)

1. Pull out crown C to position 2 and rotate it clockwise to adjust the GMT arrow hand to your local time. (Example: 7 p.m. is 19 hours military time.)

2. Push in crown C to position 1.

To read the GMT time in other cities

Select any city on the bezel and rotate crown A until it is aligned with “City” marking at 12 o'clock. The GMT hand (special arrow) will indicate the time in this zone.

ROTATING BEZEL WITH COUNTUP FUNCTION

When a scale is going from 5 to 60 (clockwise incrementation) we may use the bezel as a counter, to count up to 60 minutes.

The rotating bezel enables divers to measure both dive time and any other lapse of time. To measure time, simply turn the bezel to align the triangle (0 to 60) on the scale to the minute hand of the timepiece. The position of this hand in relation to the bezel will then indicate the time elapsed since setting the bezel.

ROTATING BEZEL WITH COUNTDOWN FUNCTION

When a scale starts at 55 to 0 (counter-clock-wise incrementation) we may use the bezel as a countdown timer.

Simply turn the bezel clockwise to align the number of minutes to be counted down to the minute hand of the timepiece. The position of this hand in relation to the bezel will then indicate how many minutes are left to be counted down.

Note: the countdown feature works for a duration between 1 and 60 minutes.

WATER RESISTANCE

CLASSIFICATION: Timepieces are classified by their degree of water resistance, which roughly translates to the following (1 meter = 3.28 feet).

All Victorinox Swiss Army timepieces are water-resistant from 30 meters to 500 meters. Check the details on the back of your Victorinox Swiss Army timepiec case and read the following information carefully:

Water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet, 3 ATM). Will withstand rain or splashes of water and accidental immersion, but should not be worn while showering, swimming or diving.

Water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet, 5 ATM). Suitable for showering or swimming in shallow water.

Water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet/10 ATM). Suitable for swimming or snorkelling.

Water resistant to 300 meters (990 feet/30 ATM). Suitable for scuba diving.

Water resistant to 500 meters (1650 feet/50 ATM). Appropriate for serious deep water diving.

The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely, considering that joints may age, crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate or temperature may vary. We therefore recommend that you have the water resistance of your timepiece checked at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA Service Centre every 18 months or whenever the timepiece case is opened.

METER/BAR CORRELATION

Meter and bar measurements are different things: under water, the water pressure is added to the air pressure above; a depth of 10 meters corresponds to 1 bar of water pressure and 1 bar of atmospheric pressure above water level, therefore 2 bars in total.

IV. INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY

THREE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

This international warranty is valid for all consumers not resident in the U.S. or Canada.

For consumers living in the United States or Canada, please refer to the North American Warranty on our website: www.swissarmy.com.

Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA provides a three (3) year warranty (the Warranty Period) from the date of purchase against faulty materials and manufacturing. In the event of any such defect, we undertake to repair your timepiece or to exchange it for an identical or similar timepiece, at our expense, by way of sole and exclusive compensation. All implied warranties, including warranties of fitness and merchantability are limited to the Warranty Period.

The international warranty is valid only if the warranty certificate is duly completed, dated and stamped by an approved Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA dealer.

All timepieces that fulfill the terms and conditions of our warranty, including battery changes, must be repaired by a Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA authorized service centre. The warranty is null and void if the case has been opened by any person

other than a member of an approved service centre, because improper resealing compromises water resistance.

The warranty to exchange or replace expires three (3) years after the date of purchase.

The warranty does not cover:

• The life of the battery.
• Damage, caused by ageing, normal use or changes in color, to the strap (leather textile, rubber), the glass (scratches), the bezel, the case or any other part not expressly mentioned.
• Damage indirectly caused by abnormal use or misuse (non-compliance with the instructions for use) or resulting from carelessness, negligence or accidents (bangs/knocks).

This warranty carries specific legal rights. This warranty is exclusive and replaces any other written, oral or implied warranty of quality and performance. Any other warranty, including any warranty implied by a dealer or any implied warranty of suitability for a particular use, is therefore excluded. The legislation of your country may provide you with additional rights.

Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA and its partners may not be held responsible to you or to any third party for any exceptional, indirect, secondary or resultant damage, whether on account of a contract, a harmful act, negligence, risk or other liability. Some countries do not accept exclusions or limitations to the length of warranty, or exclusions or limitations regarding secondary or consequential damages, so that the above limitations and exclusions will not be applicable.

INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING REPAIRS

Your approved local Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA service centre can repair your timepiece in accordance with the above terms and conditions. Your Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA distributor will provide the necessary after-sales service. To obtain information on your local distributor, send an e-mail to:

or call the Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA office on [phone].

PRECAUTION

The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely, considering that joints may age, crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate or temperature may vary. We therefore recommend that you have the water resistance of your timepiece checked at an approved Victorinox Swiss Army Watch SA service centre every 18 months or whenever the timepiece case is opened.

Never operate pushers or crown when your timepiece is under water or if it is wet and ensure that the crown and pushers are properly pushed back or screwed down after each use.
