Victorinox CHRONO 251.262 User manual

I. GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on having chosen a Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece. To ensure
your timepiece operates perfectly, we recommend that you follow the advice given
in these instructions.
Your timepiece is fitted with either a screw-down or a “pull-out” crown. In order to
establish which, gently try to pull the crown out to position 2, if that works, your
timepiece is fitted with a “pull-out” crown. If not, use your thumb and forefinger to
apply mild pressure on the crown, while rotating towards you to release it. If it does
so, you have a screw-down crown.
After use, push the crown back in or screw it down until it is secure in
order to maintain the water resistance of your timepiece.
Quartz timepieces are battery-operated. When the battery is exhausted, we recom-
mend that you have it replaced immediately at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army
Service Center where the water resistance of your timepiece will also be checked.
The battery is not covered by the warranty.

METER/BAR CORRELATION
Meter and bar measurements are different things: under water, the water pres-
sure is added to the air pressure above; a depth of 10 meters corresponds to 1 bar
of water pressure and 1 bar of atmospheric pressure above water level, therefore
2 bars in total.

WATER RESISTANCE
Please check the details on the back of your Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece case
and read the following information carefully:
Water-resistant to 3 atm (100 feet/30 meters). Resistant to rain and splash-
es and accidental immersion, but must not be worn in the shower or when
swimming.
Water-resistant to 5 atm (165 feet/50 meters). May be worn in the shower or
when swimming in shallow water. Do not wear when diving.
Water-resistant to 10 atm (330 feet/100 meters). May be worn when swim-
ming or snorkelling.
Water-resistant to 30 atm (990 feet/300 meters). May be worn when swim-
ming or free diving and scuba diving.
Water-resistant to 50 atm (1650 feet/500 meters). May be worn when swim-
ming or deep-sea diving.
The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely, con-
sidering that joints may age, crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate or
temperature may vary.We therefore recommend that you have the water resistance
of your timepiece checked at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Service Center
every 18 months or whenever the timepiece case is opened.
Never operate the crown and/or pushers when the timepiece is under water
and ensure that the crown and pushers are properly pushed back or screwed
down after each use.

TACHYMETER TIMER
The tachymeter timer allows you to measure the speed of an object moving at con-
stant speed. Start the chronograph and stop it after a certain distance covered
(1 km for example). The chronograph hand indicates a figure on the tachymeter
scale corresponding to the speed in km/h or miles/h – mph.
