using only the highest quality materials and components, your chronograph is protected against shock loads, variations in temperature, water and dust.
When operating as a chronograph, this model is able to time events lasting up to 12 hours, displaying the results to the 1/100th of a second, and also provides
you with the following functions:
–StandardSTART–STOPfunction
– ADD function (partial times)

Your chronograph also features an alarm function as well as a display showing month and date.

Usage / Settings
Models with a screwed crown
You must first unscrew the crown into position IB before you can pull it out into position II or III.
Important : After each operation, you must always screw the crown back down to ensure that your watch remains water-resistant.
Pushers
Press briefly on the pusher to move the hands in increments. If you press for more than 1 second, the hands will move continuously (rapid setting).
Speedometer (depending on the model)
The speedometer is used to measure the speed of an object which is moving at a constant speed. Start the timing operation and stop it again once you have covered
a distance of 1 km. The chronograph hand then points at a numeral on the tachometric scale (
8 ), indicating the speed in km/h.

Care and maintenance
We would advise you to clean your chronograph regularly (except for the leather strap) using a soft cloth and warm soapy water. After immersion in salty water,
rinse it in fresh water and leave it to dry completely. Do not leave it anywhere where it might be subjected to major variations in temperature or humidity, in direct
sunlight or near strong magnetic fields.
Tobenefitfromthehigheststandardsofserviceandtoensureyourguaranteeremainsinforce,pleasealwayscontactanapprovedTISSOT®representative or
retailer.
TISSOT®Quartz chronographs benefit from the incomparable precision of quartz. Their power reserve usually enables them to operate for more than 2 years in
continuous use. If you envisage not wearing your chronograph for several weeks or months, we would advise you to put it to one side with the crown pulled out
into position II. This cuts the electrical power supply to the motor, thereby extending battery life considerably.
Replacing the battery
Oncethebatteryhasrunflat,itmustbereplacedwithoutdelaybyanapprovedTISSOT®representative or retailer.
Battery type: button-type zinc-silver oxide primary battery cell, high impedance / SR 936 PW / Renata 394.
