SETTINGS

SCREWED-DOWN POSITION [position A]
Your TUDOR watch is equipped with a screw-downcrown.
Once this is fully screwed down against the case, your
watch is guaranteed waterproof.
MANUAL WINDING [position B]
A watch equipped with a self-winding mechanical
movement is wound automatically by wrist movements
alone. To ensure optimum winding, wear your watch daily.
Before you rst use the watch or if it has stopped, you will
need to wind it manually by unscrewing the crown and
then turning it clockwise; the other direction is inactive.

RAPID DATE-SETTING [position C]
In order to adjust the date, unscrew the crown and
pull it out to the second notch. Then turn it clockwise
for MT calibres or anticlockwise for other calibres
(see the calibres listed at the end of this document),
until the desired date appears in the window. The date
is corrected when the hands pass midnight. During
this operation, your watch will keep running.

TIME-SETTING [position D]
In order to adjst the time, unscrew the crown and
pull it out to the last notch. Then turn it in either direction
until the hands indicate the correct time. The small
seconds hand is stopped during this operation, allowing
the time to be set accurately. To synchronize the small
seconds hand and minute hand, the ne adjustment must
be performed in an anticlockwise direction.
If the watch has stopped, take care not to confuse
midday and midnight during this operation. Move the
hands forward to 12 o’clock; if the date changes, then
itis midnight.

DATE-SETTING FOR FASTRIDER [at 9 o’clock]
In order to adjust the date, we advise you to use
only the TUDOR tool as depicted in the diagram on
the following page. It is supplied with your watch,
and serves to handle the date corrector situated at
9o’clock. You can change the date simply by pressing
the corrector using the TUDOR tool. The date cannot
bechanged by means of the crown.
To avoid damaging the movement, it is vital not
toadjust the date between 20:30 and 23:00.

CHRONOGRAPH
FUNCTION

The chronograph function enables you to measure
times to fractions of a second, thanks to the centre
seconds hand. On some models, to be enabled foruse,
the pushers must be unscrewed; lock the pushers
aeruse.
To measure longer intervals, a chronograph with two
counters has an additional 45-minute counter.
A chronograph with three counters has two additional
30-minute and 12-hour counters.

Pressing the start/stop pusher a rst
time will start the chronograph.
PUSHER AT 2 O’CLOCK
start/stop
Pressing it again will stop the
chronograph.
Pressing a third time will start it
again.
In this way you can measure several
times in succession.

PUSHER AT 4 O’CLOCK
reset
To reset the chronograph
counters, press the reset
pusher; the chronograph will
be ready for use again.
Resetting is only possible
when the chronograph
has stopped.

TACHYMETER
FUNCTION

The bezel on your watch has a tachymeter function
used to measure a speed or a flow rate using
thechronograph function. Select the desired unit
of measurement (metre, kilometre, mile, litre, etc.],
activate the chronograph and stop it when the desired
unit is reached. The centre seconds hand indicates
thenumber of units per hour on the tachymeter scale.
In order to ensure the precision of the tachymeter,
the unit of measurement must be exactly reached. In
addition, the time of measurement should not exceed
1minute and should not be less than 9 seconds.

[12-hour graduated rotatable bezel]
The second time-zone function is used to display
two time zones simultaneously. The time of the
second time zone is read by means of the hour
hand, the minute hand and the bidirectional
rotatable bezel. Simply turn the bezel clockwise
or anticlockwise depending on the desired time
zone.
SECOND TIME-ZONE
FUNCTION

When you move westward, for example from
Geneva to Mexico, turn the bezel clockwise,
then turn it anticlockwise when you move
eastward, for example from Geneva to Tokyo.
The triangle engraved on the bezel serves
asa benchmark; in neutral position, it stands
at 12o’clock.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Bronze: Your Black Bay Bronze is designed in bronze, in
this case a high-performance aluminium bronze alloy,
which guarantees the development of a subtle and unique
patina to match its user’s habits.
Cleaning: Use a microbre cloth and wash the metal,
rubber, fabric bracelets and waterproof cases from time
to time with a so brush and soapy water. We recommend
that you do not use abrasive or corrosive products
(solvents, detergents, perfume, etc.).

Guarantee: Refer to the guarantee manual supplied
with your watch.
Leather: To preserve your leather strap, we recommend
protecting it from water and moisture.
PVD: Your Black Bay Dark is nished with a black coating
obtained using a Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD)
process. Although the coating is extremely resistant,
regular wear and tear can cause this decorative layer to
deteriorate over time. The warranty does not cover
this type of aesthetic wear.

Salt water: Always rinse your watch with fresh water.
Screw-down winding crown: Aer each operation,
remember to push the crown back in and screw it back
down carefully against the case, in order to preserve
your watch’s waterproofness.

Service: Each TUDOR watch is a complex precision
mechanism and, as such, requires periodic servicing and
maintenance to guarantee optimum performance. Expert
TUDOR servicing can be carried out via any of the Ocial
Retailers and Service Centres in the extensive ROLEX or
TUDOR service network. Visit TUDORWATCH.COM to view
the list of Ocial TUDOR Retailers and Service Centres in
your area.
Strap: Only Ocial TUDOR Retailers are authorized to
change the watch strap.
