CHRONOGRAPH HANDS
Certain RAYMOND WEIL chronographs are also equipped
with a tachometric scale, enabling the measurement of
speed in km/hr or other units.
CHANGING THE DATE AND SETTING THE TIME
1 Normal position
2 Rapid date change
3 Time-setting
Your RAYMOND WEIL watch may be fitted with a
screw-down crown. Before setting the time or changing
the date, it is therefore necessary to unscrew the crown
by pulling it straight out and turning it anti-clockwise.
The crown will then be released by a spring. After
completing all settings, press lightly on the crown,
while turning it clockwise, and screw it back in gently
in order to preserve your watch’s water-resistance.
CHANGING THE DATE
In order to adjust the date rapidly, pull the crown out to
position 2. Then, depending on the model of your watch,
turn the crown forwards or backwards until the desired
date appears in the window. The date changes as the hour
hand passes midnight. During this operation, your watch
will continue to function and so will not need to be reset.
After finishing your changes, always push the crown
back in to position 1, in order to preserve your watch’s
water-resistance.
SETTING THE TIME
In order to adjust the time, pull the crown out to position 3
and turn it forwards or backwards until the hands indicate
the desired time.
After setting the time, always push the crown back in to
position 1, in order to restart the hands and to preserve
your watch’s water-resistance.

USE OF THE CHRONOGRAPH

INTERMEDIATE TIMING
START
Press push-button A to activate the seconds hand of
the chronograph. If the timed activity lasts longer than
60 seconds, the time elapsed will next appear on the
minutes counter and after a further 30 minutes on the
1/10 second counter, which has by now become an
hours counter.
NOTICE
Disposal of a watch by non-compliant methods
may cause harm to the environment and is heav-
ily fined according to the regulations
established by each one of the EU member countries in
application of the Directive on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (Directive 2002/96/EC WEEE). Should
you need to dispose of an old watch, please set it aside for
separate waste collection or give it to a retailer when pur-
chasing a new watch.
RAYMOND WEIL and its approved dealers are at your
disposal to provide you with additional information on
the subject.
STOP
Press push-button A a second time to stop the chronograph
and obtain the time that has elapsed (in minutes, seconds
and 1/10s of a second; or in hours, minutes and seconds
after 30 minutes). By pressing push-button A again, timing
restarts immediately. Thus you can measure several
consecutive time-durations.
RESETTING TO ZERO
Press push-button B in order to reset all the chronograph
counters to zero. Your watch is now ready to start
timing again. Resetting to zero is only possible once
the chronograph has been stopped.
INTERMEDIATE TIMING
Press push-button A to start the chronograph. Then press
push-button B to obtain the first intermediate time. While
the chronograph is stopped, the activity continues to be
timed. Press push-button B again to allow the chronograph
hands to make up the time elapsed since the first stop.
Press push-button A to stop the chronograph and read
off the total time. Press push-button B to reset to zero.
If one or several of the chronograph hands are not in
their exact starting position, it is necessary to adjust
them. Therefore pull the crown out to position 3. Press
push-buttons A and B simultaneously for at least 2 seconds.
The chronograph seconds hand then rotates through
360° and the correction mode is activated. Next, press
push-button A to adjust the seconds hand (a short push
to adjust step by step, or a long push for continuous
adjustment). Then press push-button B to pass on to
the following hands (1/10 second, then minutes) and
adjust them as previously explained. Push the crown
back in to position 1 when adjustment is completed.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Your RAYMOND WEIL watch is powered by a battery
with an average life of approximately 36 months, which
can vary according to the frequency of chronograph usage.
In order to make the battery last longer, pull the crown out
to position 3 whenever you do not intend to wear your
watch for a while.
Once exhausted, the battery should be replaced
without delay, in order to avoid any risk of damage
to the movement.
Please have your watch battery changed only by
an approved RAYMOND WEIL dealer.
