during adjustment. Turn the crown clockwise until the
correct date is displayed.

Chronograph operation
This chronograph watch features traditional watch
functions: hours and minutes, jumping second hand
right sub dial (1) and date indicator (2), plus a stopwatch
measuring minutes and seconds.
The second counter
In the centre of the dial, apart from the hour and minute
hand, is another hand called the second counter.
This counter indicates the number of seconds in the
measuring period. The number of seconds is read on
the outer main dial indicated through the mid-line
index with a total of 60 divisions. 1 round for the second
counter = 1 minute.
The minutecounter
The left sub dial (3) shows the number of minutes in
the measuring period. Each time the second counter
completes one rotation, the counter hand moves one
step forward equal to 1 minute. This sub dial uses a line
index with a total of 30 divisions. 1 round for the minute
counter = 1/2 hour.
Function: chronograph
All the functions of the chronograph are controlled
through the two push buttons: (A) and (B). Push button
(A) has two functions: (START) and (STOP). Push button
(B) also has two functions: (SPLIT) and (RESET).
When you need to measure a specic event, push
button (A) once. You will see the second counter hand
in the centre moving forward. When the timed event is
over, you must push button (A) again. The chronograph
hands stop and you can read the result.
Function: reset
After you have read the time, the chronograph hands
must be returned to the default position. Push button
(B), the hands will now return to position 0 also know as
zero position. The chronograph is now ready to time
another event.
Function: split
The movement has another important function
called (SPLIT), used for timing intermediate times
during an event.
Start the timer by pressing button (A). When you reach
the instant you wish to read an intermediate time
(without stopping the chronograph and only ‘freezing’
the time on the dial) push button (B). The second
counter hand stops moving. You can now read the

(SPLIT) time result whilst the chronograph movement
continues to record the event.
When you have nished reading the (SPLIT) time, push
button (B). You will notice now that the hands move at
a faster rate for a short while until they have caught up
with the current timed event. Once this has happened,
they will continue to move as normal. You may repeat
the (SPLIT) function more than once in one timed event.
When the timed event has ended, press button (A) as
normal to read the total timed result, then return the
chronograph hands to the zero position by pressing
button (B).
Function: tachymeter
The chronograph function of this watch includes a
tachymeter scale. The tachymeter can be used to
convert elapsed time in seconds per unit to units per
hour in order to calculate speed, distance or units per
hour over a maximum duration of 60 seconds.
Start the timer by pressing button (A). When you reach
the instant you wish to read a value from the tachymeter
(i.e. 1km travelled or 1 unit produced), push button (A)
again to stop the timer.
The value is read off the tachymeter between the
central seconds hand and the corresponding scale.
For example: 20 seconds timed corresponds to 180
units on the tachymeter scale (i.e. 180km/h or 180
units produced per hour).
Once the value has been read, return the chronograph
hands to the zero position by pressing button (B).
Setting the hands of the chronograph
After a battery change or if the function is affected by
a severe knock or exposure to a strong magnetic eld,
the hands of the chronograph should be reset to zero
position.
Resetting the second counter hand
and minute counter hand
Adjust the crown to Set Position 3 (P3). Push and hold
both chronograph buttons (A) and (B) for at least 2
seconds. After which the seconds counter hand will
perform 1 complete rotation. The chronograph hands
are now in resetting mode.
By means of short, successive pushes on chronograph
button (A), turn the second counter hand back to zero.
Push chronograph button (B) to select the next
chronograph hand. Pushing chronograph button (A)
will now reset the next counter hand.
By means of short, successive pushes on chronograph
button (A), turn the next chronograph hand back to zero.
Once all chronograph hands are reset to zero position,
push the crown back to Operating Position 1 (P1).
Please note: DO NOT push the crown back to Operating
Position 1 (P1) until all chronograph hands have been
returned to zero position.
Please note: DO NOT keep the crown in Position 2 (P2)
for more than 20 minutes.
