Your newAviator watch may have a small white plastic tag inserted between the
crown and the case side. This is simply to prevent the mechanism running during
storage and must be removed before use. Please dispose of it carefully.
The main crown of your watch has three positions. When fully depressed (i.e. pushed
in against the side of the case) it engages the watch movement and the watch will
function normally. This is the default position.
Pull the crown out slightly until it clicks. Turn the crown clockwise to set the date.
Pull the crown out a little further until it clicks a second time. Turn the crown
clockwise to set the time
Push the crown fully in to the default position. The watch will now keep time.
INITIAL SETUP

AVW8974G76
USING THE WORLD TIME FUNCTION
1
Combine the city name and 24hr marker to calculate the approximate time in another city
For example:
If you are in Dubai, the local time is 4am and you want to know the time in Rio:
Convert the current time to 24hr format (e.g. 4am = 04:00)
Turn the bezel until the city name Dubai is against the “0400” on the outer (time) bezel
Read the time from the outer bezel which appears opposite “Rio”, which should be 2100 (the previous day)
Please note that local activities such as British Summer Time are not accounted for by the World Time Function

USING THE STOPWATCH FUNCTION
1
Press button A to start or stop the stopwatch function. Pressing a second time will re-start the function from
wherever it stopped
Press button B once to pause the stopwatch and read a split time. Press again to restart the split time
Pressing button B after pressing button A will reset the stopwatch hands to zero (all hands will wind forwards or
backwards at speed until returned to zero)
Split Time
The stopwatch can be paused in order to read a time, then restarted. The stopwatch will have kept timing so
when button B is pressed again all hands will jump forward to show the combined running time
1/10th second hand dial
Note this only functions for one minute then stops at zero.

A tachymetere (tachymeter) is a means of converting elapsed time in seconds per (x) to (x) per hour. It is not
specific to any unit of distance so can be used to measure speed in miles per hour; kilometres per hour; nautical
miles per hour or even to measure the number of units manufactured per hour.
It works by calculating speed based on the travel time over a fixed known distance (for example one mile or
kilometre)
Tachymetres by definition can only measure for a maximum of 60 seconds (one circuit of the dial)
How to use a Tachymetre
For example, to measure speed:
Ensure you have a known fixed distance such as one mile
Start the timer (stop watch) function crossing the start line
Stop the timer function when crossing the one mile mark
Look at where the second hand is pointing and read the number from the tachymetre dial to determine the speed
Example One
If you were to measure the time taken for a car to travel a fixed one mile distance and the timer ran for 45
seconds the second hand would be pointing at the “9” on the bezel. The number on the tachymetre dial opposite
is “80” so the speed of the car would be 80mph
Example Two
Timing a runner in a 200m race
The winner crossed the finishing line in 25 seconds so read the number from the tachymetre against the 25
second mark on the dial. This will be approximately “135”. This obviously doesn’t mean the runner managed
135km/h! The distance of measure was 200m or 1/5 of a kilometre so divide the 135 by 5 to give 27km/h as the
speed

• Water resistance is measured in ATM (atmospheres) with 1 ATM equalling 10 metres
• 3 ATM: everyday use but should not be immersed in water. The watch will withstand occasional splashing and
rain but should be kept dry where possible and is not suitable for swimming
• 5 ATM: relatively short periods in water including gentle swimming
• 10 ATM: suitable for normal swimming but not diving of any kind
• Water resistance is tested in static conditions (i.e. no movement) at the time of manufacture. As time goes on
the seals may deteriorate and/or the use of the watch may weaken the resistance. For example continual
exposure to chlorine, salt or strong soaps may decrease the effectiveness of the seal by drying it out or
causing it to become brittle.
• Using a watch in a hot tub, sauna, bath or shower may cause the seals to expand, compromising the water
resistance or causing complete failure of the watch.
• Sudden or significant variations in temperature may cause materials in a watch to contract, allowing water
(most likely in the form of condensation), into your watch. As an example, even a 10ATM watch worn in a hot
bath or in the desert sun might experience condensation if plunged straight into a cold swimming pool.
• Constant contact with perspiration or cosmetics may affect the seal, as can sharp knocks
• Never use the crown, the chronograph pushers, or a rotating dial when your watch is under water
