Crafted For Life
Delémont, Switzerland 1893
Over a century ago, Wenger built a factory in this tiny Swiss village and
transformed it into production headquarters for the Genuine Swiss Army
Knife™ still used by the Swiss Army today. As it was 100 years ago, each
tool, implement and knife manufactured by Wenger is crafted by hand in solid
stainless steel and each individually inspected for quality and craftsmanship.
This same attention to detail has been applied to genuine Wenger watches.
Wenger watches are Swiss-designed, -engineered and -crafted with only the
most accurate Swiss movement available. Each watch is constructed with form
and function that last a lifetime. As with the genuine Swiss Army knife, Wenger
watches are durable, high quality, and versatile enough for use on any occasion.
Wenger watches are engineered to provide the same resourcefulness as the
genuine Swiss Army knife, supplying functionality beyond the everyday.
Wenger Watch Components
Movements – Specialized Swiss mechanism.
Case Body – All PVD coated stainless steel for quality and durability.
Straps – Silicone rubber strap
Luminous Markers – Hands, markers, and numerals may be overlaid with
Super Luminova®which recharges in seconds when exposed to direct sunlight
for extended nighttime visibility.
Crystal – Scratch resistant Sapphire.
Crowns – Crowns are stainless steel buttons on the sides of the case body used
to control the many functions of this watch.

Setting the Alarm
There are 5 Daily or Schedule alarms. Schedule alarms can be set to sound on a
particular date. See Diagram on p.12.
1. When in Alarm Mode, press and hold the Mode button to enter into the Alarm
 Numberfunction.PresstheST/STPbuttontochoosethealarmnumberand
press the Reset button to move in the opposite direction.

Daily or Schedule type. Press the Mode button again to enter the Hour function
 andpresstheST/STPorResetbuttonstoincreaseordecreasethevaluefor
either function. Press the Mode button to enter the Minute function and repeat
the steps to increase or decrease the value. Follow these same steps for selecting
the Year, Month and Day for the Schedule Type of alarm.
3. PresstheModebuttontoenterandselecttheNoteOn/OffFunction.UseST/STP
and Reset to choose on or off. If you have selected Note On, press the Mode button
 toselecttheNote.UseST/STPandResettochooseoneofthe7presetnotes.
4. Press the Mode button to revert back to the beginning of the alarm setting
sequence. Press and hold the Mode button to exit the alarm setting sequence.
Note: The watch will exit the setting sequence automatically when no button is
pressed for more than 1 minute.
Weather Forecast Feature
The AltiNav watch analyses the changes in air pressure to predict upcoming
weather. The watch provides 4 different symbols to indicate the weather forecast.
Activating the Weather Forecast Feature
1.PresstheST/STPButtonwhileinCurrentTimeModetotogglebetweenthe
date and the weather forecast and temperature.
Important note: Since the watch predicts the upcoming weather by analysing
changes in air pressure, accuracy may increase when the user stays at the same
altitude for at least 24 hrs. The watch predicts the weather by adopting
general weather prediction principles. It is not capable of indicating dramatic
changes in weather within a very short period of time.

Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch) Feature
The chronograph feature is a stopwatch which measures elapsed hours, minutes,
and seconds. It is also capable of measuring split-timed events (timing a continu-
ous event and sub-events simultaneously; e.g., timing an individual lap and an
entire race).

2.Tostopit,presstheST/STPbuttonagain.
3. Read the seconds, minutes, and hours on the Total Time read-out.
4. To reset the stopwatch to zero, press and hold the Reset Button.
Note: The clock function of the watch will continue to operate while using
the stopwatch.

Precautions and Tips for Using Compass
1. Keep the watch away from any magnets or appliances that contain magnets
 orgeneratemagneticeldssuchasmobilephones,speakers,motors,etc.
2. This watch points to the magnetic north, which is slightly different from
 truenorth.Checkthe“WhatisMagneticDeclination”sectiononp.30
for more details.
3. Perform compass calibration (see p.39) frequently, or under the following
conditions:
 •Firsttimeusingthecompass
 •Whenthemeasuringresultissuspectedtobeincorrect
 •Whenthebatteryhasbeenreplaced
 •Whenthewatchisinadifferentlocationfromwhereitwas
previously calibrated
4. Avoid measuring direction in the following conditions:
 •Watchisplacedclosetomagneticobjects,metalobjects
or electrical appliances
 •Watchisplacedinsideamovingobjectoraferroconcretebuilding
Compass Bearing vs. Compass Direction
Compass Bearing –thehorizontaldirectionofanobjectasmeasuredbythe
observer in degrees.
Compass Direction – the path given by a compass using the four cardinal
points including North, South, East & West.

Calculating Compass Directions
Compassdirectionsareshownintheadjacent
table.Forexample,inthegureshownbelow,the
compassdirectionofobjectBfrompointAisdue
East.ThecompassdirectionofobjectCfrompoint

from point A is Northwest.
Calculating Compass Bearing Directions
TheCompassBearingdirectionofanobjectis
denedastheangulardifferencebetweenNorth
andtheobject.(Assume0˚for due North, and the
measuring range is from 0˚to 359˚). For example,
inthegureonbelow,thebearingdirectionof
objectBfrompointAis90˚. The bearing direction
ofobjectCfrompointAis135˚. The bearing
directionofobjectDfrompointAis315˚.

What is Magnetic Declination?
•TheMagneticNorthPoleisslightlydifferentfromtheTrueNorthPole.
This watch points to the Magnetic North Pole. Everything measured on a
map is related to the True North Pole.
•TheangulardifferencebetweentheMagneticNorthPoleandtheTrue
North Pole is called Magnetic Declination. The amount (degrees and
minutes) and direction (easterly and westerly) depends on where you
are in the world.
•Fortheadvancedcompassuserwhointendstoperformanaccuratenavigation,
 thecompassmustbeadjustedformagneticdeclination.
•The Watch also includes a compensation setting for Magnetic Declination. Check
 thecomingsection“Calibratingthecompass-MagneticDeclinationMode”on
p.39-41 for more details.
Magnetic Declination Information
•Mosttopographicmapsshowamagneticnorthpoleand/orthemagnetic
 declinationinformation.Seethe“MagneticDeclinationatMajorCities”
section on p.34-38.
•Forthosecitieswhosenamesarenotincludedinthelist,enterthecities

Magnetic Declination Compensation
•ThisWatchallowsyoutocompensatethecompassbearingataplacewhere
the magnetic declination is either Westerly declination or Easterly declination.
•Tocompensateforanobject’sbearing,eithersubtractwesterly(W)magnetic
declination or add easterly (E) magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.
Example 1: Westerly magnetic declination 23° and the compass needle points 323°.
 •TB=MB-W.WhenMB=323°;W=23°
 •TB=323°-23°
 •TB=300°
 •Thetruebearingis300°.
Example 2: Easterly magnetic declination 22° and the compass needle points 278°.
 •TB=MB+E.WhenMB=278°;E=22°
 •TB=278°+22°
 •TB=300°
 •Thetruebearingis300°.
