Chronograph Watch Overview
This watch is powered by a quartz Chronograph movement capable of split micro measurements of time. With pinpoint accuracy, you may use this watch to measure separate periods of elapsed time while simultaneously reading the current time.
Key Watch Components:
- Hour Hand
- Minute Hand
- Second Hand
- Stopwatch Second Hand
- Stopwatch Minute Hand
- Date Window
- Crown
- Push Button A
- Push Button B
- Tachymeter Scale
Crown Positions for Water Resistance:
- Position 0: Closed for Water Resistance
- Position 1 (1st Click): Opened, Not Secured for Water Resistance
- Position 2 (2nd Click): Opened, Not Secured for Water Resistance
How to Set the Time
- Pull the crown to position [2] (2nd click).
- Turn the crown clockwise to set the correct time.
- Push the crown back in.
How to Set the Date
- Pull the crown to position [1] (1st click).
- Turn the crown clockwise to set the correct date.
- Push the crown back in.
Note: If the date is set between the hours of around 9:00 P.M. and 3:00 A.M., the date may not change on the following day.
Stopwatch Function
This chronograph is able to measure and display time in 1/20 second increments, up to a maximum of 59 minutes and 59 seconds. The chronograph 1/20 second hand moves continuously for 30 seconds after starting and then stops at the Zero position.
Standard Measurement
- Start: Press Push Button A.
- Stop: Press Push Button A again.
- Reset: Press Push Button B.
Accumulated Elapsed Time Measurement
- Start: Press Push Button A.
- Stop: Press Push Button A again.
- Restart: Press Push Button A after stopping.
- Reset: Press Push Button B after stopping.
Note: Restart and stop of the stopwatch can be repeated by pressing button A.
Chronograph Reset
This procedure should be performed when the chronograph second hand does not return to the Zero position (e.g., after replacing the battery).
- Pull the crown out to position [2] (2nd click).
- Press button "A" once to set the chronograph second hand to the Zero position.
- Press button "B" once to set the chronograph 1/20 second hand to the Zero position.
Note: The chronograph hands can be advanced rapidly by continuously pressing button "A" or "B".
Once the chronograph hands are set at Zero position, readjust the normal hour and minute hands to the correct time and return the crown to its normal position.
Using the Tachymeter
The most common use of a tachymeter is for measuring the approximate speed of a vehicle over a known distance. For example, based on how many seconds it takes a vehicle to travel 1 km or 1 mile (the available measuring range is up to 60 seconds), the average speed within the distance can be calculated.
- Start the chronograph when the vehicle commences travel.
- After the vehicle has travelled 1 km or 1 mile, stop the chronograph.
The approximate average speed within the distance can be determined by observing the present position of the stopwatch second hand and reading the outer bezel. For instance, if it takes 45 seconds to travel 1 km, the approximate average speed is 80 kph (50 mph).
Note: Tachymeter indications may appear on the dial ring, rather than on the outer bezel, depending on the model.
Water Resistance
The water resistance chart serves as a guide. Actual water resistance may vary depending on factors including water temperature, water salinity, and use underwater. Water resistance may be compromised over time with general wear and tear or use under adverse conditions.
Important: NEVER wear your watch in a jacuzzi, hot shower, or steam room where steam may enter the case, potentially causing condensation and damage to the inner workings.
