Material
NORQAIN cases and steel straps assure
wearing comfort and robustness. Manufactured
from premium-quality alloys, our watches meet
the highest standards.
Leather
The strap of your NORQAIN watch is made
from authentic leather and has been inspected
for the highest quality standards. Its life span
depends on the use of the genuine leather.
Temperature
NORQAIN timepieces are equipped to bring
out the best of your time in a temperature
range from 0 to 50 °C/ 32 to 122 °F.
However, please keep in mind that when your
watch is worn on your wrist, low temperatures
are hardly attainable due to your body
temperature.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

5
Your NORQAIN timepiece is a delicately
thought-out masterpiece, which is here for you
at all times. It contains numerous components
that depend on each other to perform for you
on a high level. We see these components as a
team. A team which loves to expose itself to
all kinds of weather and is prepared for
anything. However, like many of the best
teams, your NORQAIN is not free from the
occurrence of wear and tear. Through proper
care, you can make the most of your time with
your NORQAIN timepiece.
Chlorine and salt water can damage the case.
Frequently rinse your NORQAIN watch with
running water.
Montres NORQAIN SA or your authorised
retailer will gladly support you with the care of
your NORQAIN.
Please visit www.norqain.com/service for more
information on service and care.

A robust, airtight case protects your
timepiece’s movement from water. This case
can be affected by external influences like
chlorine, saltwater, dust, sweat or cosmetics.
Thus, we suggest you verify the water
resistance at least every two years.
Checking your watch’s water resistance only
takes a few minutes and can be done at your
nearest authorised NORQAIN retailer.

TACHYMETER
Average speed
Begin the time measurement
by activating the chronograph
function (pusher A). End the
time measurement after
reaching the distance of
1 kilometre / 1 mile (pusher A).
If the measured time
(presented by the
chronograph seconds counter)
is for example at 30 seconds,
the tachymeter will show an
average speed of 120km/h or
120 mph.
120 x 1/h x 1km = 120 km/h
Set the seconds back to 0
(pusher B) before starting
further time measurements.
The tachymeter is a scale on the dial of your NORQAIN watch. It is divided into grades. It is used
to measure the average speed or hourly performance during an observation period of less than
60 seconds via the chronograph function (see previous page).

TACHYMETER
Hourly performance
Start the time measurement
by activating the chronograph
function (pusher A). After
completing your unit, end the
time measurement (pusher A).
If your required time for a unit
is 20 seconds, the tachymeter
will show 180, meaning that in
one hour you can complete 180
units.
180 x 1/h = 180 units
Set the seconds back to 0
(pusher B) before starting further
time measurements.
