Using the Chronograph
The chronograph function allows for precise measurement of elapsed time.
- Starting the Chronograph:
Press the upper pusher (A) to start the chronograph measurement. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stopping the Chronograph:
Press the upper pusher (A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Resetting the Chronograph:
After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher (B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
Tachymeter Function
The tachymeter scale on the bezel can be used to measure speed (km/h or mph) over a known distance (e.g., 1 km or 1 mile) or to calculate production rates per hour. To use, start the chronograph when passing the starting point, and stop it when passing the end point. The number on the tachymeter scale corresponding to the chronograph second hand's position indicates the speed or rate.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
- Water Resistance (WR 100M): This watch is water resistant to 100 meters. It is suitable for swimming and snorkeling but not for scuba diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Avoid operating pushers or the crown while the watch is wet.
- Battery Replacement: The watch is powered by a quartz movement requiring a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may exhibit irregular operation. Battery replacement should be performed by an authorized service center to maintain water resistance and ensure proper function.
- Avoiding Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones) as they can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
