TIMEX Finisterre Tide Cycle Watch Instructions
Overview
TO SET THE TIME
- PULL the crown out to the “C” position.
- TURN the crown either way to the correct time, noting the date advances between 9pm and 12am.
- PUSH in the crown to the “A” position.
TO SET THE DATE
- PULL the crown out to the “B” position.
- TURN the crown either way to the correct date.
- PUSH in the crown to the “A” position.
NOTE: The date function advances the date between the hours of 9 PM and 12 AM. Avoid setting the date during this time frame. If you attempt to set the date during this time, rotate the crown at a very slow rate to avoid damaging the watch and set the date for the following date, as the date will not advance if set during this time frame. When resetting the time and date after a battery change it is recommended to set the time to the date before the current date and then setting the time by moving the hands forward until the date changes to the current date, and then continuing to advance the hands forward to the current time.
TO SET THE TIDE CYCLE HAND
The Tide cycle hand steps forward every 12 minutes 24.4 seconds, one full turn takes 12 hours 24 minute and 24 seconds (one high tide and one low tide). CONSULT THE LOCAL TIDE TIMETABLE PRIOR TO SETTING THE TIDE CYCLE HAND.
- PUSH AND HOLD pusher “A” for approximately one second to activate the setting mode. The tide cycle hand will advance one position as the setting mode is activated.
- PUSH pusher “A” to advance the tide cycle hand one position (PUSH AND HOLD pusher “A” to advance the tide cycle hand quickly). Repeat until the tide cycle hand is in the desired position.
NOTE: To prevent accidental resetting of the tide cycle hand If pusher “A” is not pushed within 10 seconds of the setting mode being activated the setting mode is automatically deactivated.
