3. Initial Setup

3.1 Setting the Time

  1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (farthest out). The second hand will stop.
  2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired time is set. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator.
  3. Push the crown back in to position 0 (normal position) to start the watch.

3.2 Setting the Date

  1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (first click).
  2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) until the correct date appears in the date window.
  3. Push the crown back in to position 0.

Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If you need to set the date during this period, first set the time outside this range, adjust the date, then reset the time.

3.3 Chronograph Hand Reset

If the chronograph hands (sub-dials) are not aligned to the zero position when reset, they may need calibration:

  1. Pull the crown out to position 2.
  2. Press pusher A (top pusher) repeatedly to advance the chronograph second hand to the 12 o'clock (zero) position.
  3. Press pusher B (bottom pusher) repeatedly to advance the chronograph minute hand to the 12 o'clock (zero) position.
  4. Once all chronograph hands are aligned, push the crown back in to position 0.

4. Operating Your Watch

4.1 Using the Chronograph

The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time up to a certain duration (e.g., 30 or 60 minutes, depending on the movement).

  1. Start: Press pusher A to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
  2. Stop: Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. Read the elapsed time from the chronograph second and minute sub-dials.
  3. Reset: After stopping, press pusher B to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
  4. Split Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for split-time measurement. Consult the specific movement instructions if this feature is present.

4.2 Using the Tachymeter

The tachymeter scale on the bezel is used to measure speed over a known distance (e.g., 1 kilometer or 1 mile).

  1. Start the chronograph (Pusher A) at the beginning of the measured distance (e.g., a mile marker).
  2. Stop the chronograph (Pusher A) when you reach the end of the measured distance.
  3. The number indicated by the chronograph second hand on the tachymeter scale represents the average speed per hour for that distance. For example, if the second hand points to '60' after 1 minute, your average speed was 60 units per hour (e.g., 60 mph or 60 km/h).

5. Care and Maintenance

5.1 Water Resistance

Your Timex Waterbury Chronograph watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving.

  • Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
  • After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Note: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time due to wear and tear, impacts, or temperature changes. It is recommended to have your watch's water resistance checked periodically by an authorized service center.

5.2 Strap Care

The natural leather strap is designed for comfort and style. To prolong its life:

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures.
  • Clean the strap with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely.
  • The strap features quick-release spring bars for easy changing without tools.

5.3 Battery Replacement

When the watch battery runs low, the second hand may start to jump every few seconds (End-of-Life indicator). It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker or an authorized Timex service center to ensure proper sealing and function.

5.4 General Care

  • Clean the watch case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect accuracy.
  • Protect your watch from impacts and extreme temperature changes.
