Basic Operations

• 6 o’clock eye shows seconds.
• 10 o’clock eye shows “minutes elapsed” for chronograph.
• 2 o’clock eye shows “1/20 seconds elapsed” for chronograph.
• Chronograph second hand shows “seconds elapsed” for chronograph.

TIME

To set the time:

1. PULL crown out to “C” position.
2. TURN crown either way to correct time.
3. PUSH crown in to “A” position.

To adjust to a new time zone:

1. PULL crown out to “B” position.
2. TURN crown either way to move the hour hand in hour increments.

CALENDAR

To set the calendar:

1. PULL crown out to “B” position.

2. TURN crown either way to move hour hand. Two complete revolutions relative to the 12 o’clock position will move the date forward or backward.
   This will correct both date and 24-hour time.

3. PUSH crown in to “A” position.
   NOTE : The date changes automatically every 24 hours.

Chronograph

The chronograph is capable of measuring:

• 1/20 seconds elapsed up to 1 second (2 o’clock eye).
• Seconds elapsed up to 1 minute (chronograph second hand).
• Minutes elapsed up to 30 minutes (10 o’clock eye).

NOTE : Chronograph will operate continuously for 4 hours, after which it will automatically stop and reset.
NOTE : The hand does not move during chronograph function, the 1/20th seconds are indicated when chronograph is stopped and not yet reset.

BEFORE USING THE CHRONOGRAPH , adjust all the chronograph hands to the “0” or 12-hour positions.
To adjust chronograph hands:

1. PULL crown out to “B” position.
2. PRESS pusher “B” until the hand at the 10 o’clock eye resets to the “30” position.
3. PULL crown out to “C” position.
4. PRESS pusher “A” until the chronograph second hand resets to the “0” or “60” or 12-hour position.
5. PRESS pusher “B” until the hand at the 2 o’clock eye resets to the “0” position.
6. PUSH in Crown to “A” position.

NOTE :

• Make sure the chronograph is stopped and reset before adjusting.
• PRESSING and HOLDING either pusher “A” or “B” for 2 seconds will cause the hands to move continuously until the pusher is released.

Standard chronograph measurement:

1. PRESS pusher “A” to start timing.
2. PRESS pusher “A” to stop timing.
3. PRESS pusher “B” to reset.

Split Time Measurement:

1. PRESS pusher “A” to start timing.
2. PRESS pusher “B” to split.
3. PRESS pusher “B” to resume timing.
4. PRESS pusher “A” to stop timing.
5. PRESS pusher “B” to reset.

INDIGLO® night-light

Entire dial will be illuminated. Electroluminescent technology used in INDIGLO® night-light illuminates entire watch face at night and in low light conditions.

NIGHT-MODE® FEATURE
To use NIGHT-MODE® Feature:

1. PUSH and HOLD Crown to “D” position for 4 seconds to activate NIGHT-MODE® feature. PRESSING any pusher will cause the INDIGLO® night-light to stay on for 3 seconds.
2. NIGHT-MODE® feature will last for 8 hours.
3. Or PUSH and HOLD Crown to “D” position for 4 seconds to deactivate NIGHT-MODE® feature.

SLIDE-RULE BEZEL FUNCTION

The slide rule function of the top ring operates by rotating the outer ring. The inner ring does not move. The outer ring is always related to “distance” or “speed”, or any data that varies with time. The inner ring only notes units of time.

Outer Ring
On the outer ring, the figure “10” represents factors or multiples of 10, such as 0.1, 1.0, 10, or 100

Inner Ring
On the inner ring, “MPH” (mile per hour) refers to “speed index”. This index is used to calculate the speed involving any data per hour. On the inner ring, “STAT” (statute miles) and “NAUT” (nautical miles) are for conversion of distance units.

The following examples serve as a guide of how to use the slide rule.

SPEED CALCULATION:
What speed is required to go 10 nautical miles in 15 minutes? Known Factors: Distance: 10 nautical miles Time: 15 minutes

• Align “10” arrow on the outer ring with “15” on the inner ring.
• The speed required can be found directly above the “MPH” marking on the inner ring

The answer: 40 nautical miles per hour

TIME CALCULATION:
How long will it take to go 10 nautical miles at a speed of 40 miles per hour?
Known Factors: Speed: 40 miles per hour Distance: 10 nautical miles

• Align “40” on the outer ring with the mark “MPH” marking on the inner ring.
• The time required can be found directly below the “10” arrow on the outer ring, which is “15” on the inner ring.
  The answer: 15 minutes

DISTANCE CALCULATION:
How far can you travel at 40 miles per hour for 15 minutes? Known Factors: Speed: 40 nautical miles per hour Time: 15 minutes

• Align “40” on the outer ring directly above the mark “MPH” on the inner ring.
• The distance travelled can be obtained above the “15” marker on the inner ring. The number indicated on the outer ring is “10”.
  The answer: the distance travelled is 10 nautical miles.

UNIT CONVERSION:
To convert distance from nautical miles to statute miles and kilometers Known Factor: Distance to convert is 10 nautical miles
Align the “10” arrow on the outer ring above the “NAUT” on the inner ring. The conversion in statute miles (11.5) is found above the inner ring “STAT” marking, and the conversion to kilometers (18.5) is found above the inner ring “MPH” marking.
