J12 Chronograph
The Chronograph can be used to measure time or record several periods of time, thanks to
the central arrow shaped second hand H and the counters I and J, which display the elapsed
minutes and hours respectively. The CHANEL Chronograph movement has a COSC certificate
(Swiss Official Chronometer Control). The COSC certificate is specific to each watch and is
attached to the guarantee card.
a) To start the Chronograph, press the button F: The 1st press triggers the time measurement. A 2nd
stops it and a 3rd restarts it. This makes it possible to record several time intervals at different times.
b) To reset the Chronograph, press the button G. The central arrow shaped second hand H
returns to its initial position (numeral 12) as do the small hands on counters I and J.

Chronograph Function
a) To start the Chronograph, unscrew then press button F: this first press starts the measurement
of time. Pressing again stops it and pressing a third time, restarts the measurement. This allows
several measurements to be accumulated at different intervals.
b) To reset the Chronograph to zero, unscrew then press button G. The central second hand H
will return to its starting position (numeral 12), as will do the hand on counter I.
Tachymetric Function
The Tachymetric function enables to measure the speed of an object moving over a known
distance. The base length is indicated on the scale J. The speed per hour readings, indicated
by the scale, are based on an observational distance of 1,000 metres.
The user starts the chronograph (button F) when the vehicle crosses the starting marker and
stops it when it passes the end marker (buttton F). The position of the chronograph second hand
on the tachymetric scale corresponds to the average speed in km/h.
E.g. If it takes 40 seconds to cover 1,000 m, the average speed is 90 km/h.

J12 Moon Phase
This complication identifies the various lunar phases.
A lunar cycle lasts 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds.
Adjusting the time
Pull out the crown H to position 2 (1 notch) and turn it until the desired time is indicated.
Push the crown back to position 1.
Adjusting the date
Using the tool K supplied in the gift box, press the corrector button I until the desired date
is indicated.
Adjusting the moon phase function
a) Press the corrector button J until the serpentine hand G points to the full moon on the moon
phase counter F.
b) Ascertain the date of the last full moon using the lunar calendar. (Refer to the following page).
c) Press the corrector button twice for every day that has elapsed since the date of the last full moon.
E.g. if today’s date is 10th January 2015, then five days have passed since the last full moon on
5th January. In this case, the corrector button would need to be pressed ten times.
Warning: we recommend avoiding adjusting the date or the moon phase function between
4.30 p.m and 1 a.m.
