*pounds per square inch absolute
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE,
DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS OR PULL OUT
THE CROWN UNDER WATER UNLESS YOUR
WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-
RESISTANT.
1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal,
crown and case remain intact.

ENGLISH
HOW TO START YOUR WATCH
To start your watch remove the plastic guard from
under the crown, then press the crown in against the
case.The second hand will begin advancing in one-
second intervals.
Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require
the setting crown to be screwed in to secure water-
resistance.If your watch case has a protrusion with
screw threads,the crown must be screwed in after
setting the watch.
To screw in, push the crown firmly against the
threaded protrusion and hold in while turning the
crown clockwise.Continue to screw in the crown
until it is tight. You will need to unscrew the crown
(counter-clockwise) before pulling it out the next time
you want to set your watch.

ELAPSED TIME RING
If your watch is equipped with a rotatable outer ring
on the face,with numbers corresponding to minutes,
you can use this Elapsed Time Ring to time an activity
from the start, or to mark the ending time for the
duration of an activity.
TO TIME AN ACTIVITY FROM THE START:
Set the Start/Stop triangle at the time (hour or
minute) when you start the activity (As shown on the
left in the illustration shown below). At completion,
you can see how long the activity took.
27
ENGLISH
3) PRESS pusher “B” again to resume timing.The
hands move quickly to indicate elapsed time and
continue counting.
4) PRESS pusher “A” to stop
5) PRESS pusher “B” to reset
EXAMPLE OF SPLIT TIME:
Two runners are timed simultaneously; the first run-
ner’s time can be recorded while the second runner’s
time will continue to accumulate until he finishes.
NOTE: The hour,minute and second hands on the
watch will continue to indicate the correct time while
using the stopwatch.
IF STOPWATCH HANDS DO NOT RETURN TO
“60” WHEN THE STOPWATCH IS RESET:
1) PULL out the crown to “B” position
2) PRESS pushers “A” or “B” repeatedly to move
hands to “60” position
3) PUSH in the crown to “A” position
26
ENGLISH

TACHYMETER RING
The tachymeter feature can be used to measure
speed in miles per hour (MPH), nautical miles per
hour (knots) or kilometers per hour (KPH) using the
sweep second hand and the scale on the wall above
the watch face. You need to know the actual dis-
tance you are covering in miles or km.
Start the chronograph with the second hand at zero
(the twelve o’clock position). Within the first minute,
the second hand will point to the rate for a one-mile
(or one kilometer) course: if it takes 45 seconds,the
hand will point to 80 at that position – 80 MPH or 80
KPH.
If within the first minute,a distance greater than one
mile or kilometer is covered, multiply the tachymeter
number by the distance to get the actual rate: if you
went 1.2 miles in 45 seconds,multiply the 80 by
1.2 – 96 MPH.
29
ENGLISH
TO MEASURE THE TIME REMAINING:
Set the triangle to the hour or minute position when
you wish to complete the activity,and check the
watch periodically for progress towards that goal.
In the illustration shown on the previous page on the
right you can stop when the minute hand reaches
the 20 minutes past the hour position.
