ANALOG WATCH INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING THE WATCH
These instructions apply to a variety of watch styles. To change the time, day
or date on your analog watch simply follow the accompanying instructions
according to your specific style.
A. NEUTRAL POSITION: This is the normal operating position of the watch
in which the crown is free to turn in either direction without any effect on
the time.
B. POSITION TO SET THE DATE: (for watches with date windows) C. POSITION
TO SET THE TIME
SETTING THE TIME ON STANDARD ANALOG WATCH STYLES
NOTE: The standard style has no calendar or day/date windows on the dial and, unlike the diagram, has only 2 crown positions: A (closed) and C (open).To change the time, pull the crown out all the way until it stops (position C). Rotate the crown in either direction until desire time is obtained. Next, push the crown all the way back to position A to re-engage time keeping. (If watch has a second hand, it will begin to move.)
SETTING THE TIME ON CALENDAR & DAY/DATE WATCH STYLES
For time setting: Follow the above instructions.
SETTING THE TIME ON CALENDAR WATCHES
If your watch has a date window only, pull the crown out to position B (see diagram) and turn the crown in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction (depending on watch style). Continue to rotate crown until desired date is obtained. Push the crown all the way back to position A to re-engage time keeping.
SETTING THE TIME, DAY & DATE ON MULTI-FUNCTION MODELS
TO ADVANCE THE HOURS AND MINUTES
Pull the crown out to position 3 when the second hand reaches the 12 o’clock
position. The second hand should stop at the 12 o’clock position. Next, turn
the crown clockwise to advance the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
When setting the minute hand, put in 5 minutes later than the time to be set
and turn it back to the correct time.
NOTE : that the 24 hour military sub dial time zone also changes at the
time of setting. Make sure that the 24 hour military time zone corresponds to
the correct AM/PM time. Push the crown all the way back to position 1 when the
desired time is obtained.
ADJUSTING THE TIME
Pull the crown from position 1 to position 2, wind it clockwise or counter clockwise until it shows the desired time. After setting the time, push the crown back to position.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
Change the battery when the watch becomes slow, the readout darkens or does not appear, or the backlight fails. Before removing the old battery, be sure to denote its polarity so that the new battery is installed in exactly the same way. Replace with the same kind or equivalent only. This watch contains precise electronic components and should only be opened by a qualified watch technician. However, it is not necessary to return your watch to the manufacturer for battery replacement. It is recommended that you bring your timepiece to a local jeweler.
WATER RESISTANCE
This is a WATER RESISTANT watch. Do not operate push buttons below the surface of the water. Should water or condensation appear in the watch, immediately have the watch checked. Water can corrode electronic parts inside the case.
SETTING THE DAY/DATE
If your watch has a date window only, pull the crown out to position B (see diagram). Rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction (depending on watch style) to change the day or the date. Each turn of the crown will advance the day or date respectively. If the day does not advance using this method, pull the crown to position C and rotate until the time advances each 24 hour period. Continue to rotate the crown until desired day is obtained. After the correct time has been set, push the crown all the way back to position A to re-engage time keeping. NOTE: During normal time keeping (watch running with crown in position A) the day and/ or date will advance between the hours of 11pm and 5am. Please keep this in mind when setting the watch.
TO ADVANCE THE DAY
Pull the crown out to position 3 and turn clockwise. Each full 24 hour turn
will advance the day zone by one full day. Make sure that you then set the
correct time worth the corresponding 24 hour military time. Push the crown all
the way back to positions 1 when desired day and time is obtained.
TO ADVANCE THE DATE
Pull the crown out to position 2. Rotate the crown counter clockwise to
advance the date. Push the crown all the way back to position 1 when desired
date is obtained. Do not set the date between 9PM and midnight as it will not
change correctly.
ACCELERATING ENERGY OF THE WATCH
Wind the crown clockwise at position 1 until energy is conserved.
