Setting the Date

- Turn the crown clockwise to set the date. Adjust the date to the day before the current date.
- Pull the crown out to position 2.

Chronograph Reset to Zero Position
If the chronograph hands (second, minute) are not at the zero position after resetting, they can be adjusted as follows:
- Pull the crown out to position 2.
- Press button A (top pusher) repeatedly to advance the chronograph second hand to the zero position.
- Press button B (bottom pusher) repeatedly to advance the chronograph minute hand to the zero position.
- Once all chronograph hands are at zero, push the crown back into position 0.
Operation
Using the Chronograph
The chronograph function allows for precise timing of events up to 60 minutes.
- Start/Stop: Press button A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. Press button A again to stop it.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press button B (bottom pusher) to reset all chronograph hands to the zero position.
Using the Tachymeter
The tachymeter scale on the bezel can be used to measure speed over a known distance (e.g., 1 kilometer or 1 mile) or to measure production per hour.
- To measure speed: Start the chronograph at the beginning of the measured mile/kilometer. When you reach the end of the mile/kilometer, stop the chronograph. The number indicated by the chronograph second hand on the tachymeter scale is the average speed in units per hour.
- To measure production: Start the chronograph when you begin a task. When one unit of work is completed, stop the chronograph. The number indicated by the chronograph second hand on the tachymeter scale is the number of units produced per hour.

Maintenance
Water Resistance
Your Invicta S1 Rally watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This rating makes it suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but it is not recommended for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For the polyurethane strap, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the watch's finish or crystal.
Battery Replacement
This watch is powered by a product-specific quartz battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized Invicta service center or a reputable watchmaker to ensure proper battery installation and maintenance of water resistance.
Flame Fusion Crystal Care
The watch features a Flame Fusion Crystal, known for its scratch resistance. While durable, avoid direct impact and abrasive contact to prevent damage. Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time/date: Refer to the "Setting the Time" and "Setting the Date" sections to re-adjust. Ensure the crown is securely pushed in after setting.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: Follow the "Chronograph Reset to Zero Position" instructions in the Setup section.
- Water inside the watch: If condensation or water appears inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. This indicates a breach in water resistance.
