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 – Swiss mechanism.
Case Body – All stainless steel for quality and durability.
Water- esistant – To 100m (330').
Straps/Bracelets – Stainless steel bracelets featuring dive buckles and safety
clasps. Straps are offered in genuine calfskin leather specially treated rubber-
ized leather water-resistant rubber or nylon or other high-quality materials.
Luminous Markers – Hands markers and numerals may be overlaid with
Super Luminova
®a luminous material which recharges in seconds when
exposed to direct sunlight for improved extended nighttime visibility.
Crystals – The crystal is the clear surface which covers the watch dial.
Crowns – Crowns are stainless steel knobs on the sides of the case body used
to set the date and time or rotate the internal bezel.

Setting the Analog Watch
1. To set the analog time gently pull out the crown to Position 2.
2. Second hand will stop and digital time will flash.
3. Rotate crown so the watch hands move clockwise to the correct time.
Second Hand Alignment
To synchronize the digital with analog seconds push in the crown to return
it to Position 1 at correct moment.
Important note:
If the analog “second”
and the digital “second”
are not synchronized the
digital setting may not
function properly.
Position 1 (fully depressed) Position 2 (1 click out)

Setting the Digital Time and Calendar
1. Hold down the Time Button until the digital seconds flash.
2. Press the Compass Button to scroll through minutes hours year month
and date as well as date format (both month and date flashing) time
format (12 hour to 24 hour) and seconds.
3. Use the Day Button to increase to the desired value. Hold it down to
quickly increase the value.
4. Press the Date Button to return to the previous display.
Date Display
1. Press the Date Button to switch on the Date display.
2. The display will show for 2 seconds and will turn off automatically.
Note: The date format (Month-Date or Date-Month) can be set in the
“Setting the Digital Time and Calendar”.

Day of the Week Display
1. Press the Day Button to switch on the Day of the Week display.
2. The display will show for 2 seconds and will turn off automatically.
Precautions and Tips for Using Compass
1. Keep the watch away from any magnets or appliances that contain magnets
or generate magnetic fields 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.12 for
more details.
3. Perform compass calibration (see p.10) 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.

9
Compass Display
1. Press the Compass Button to switch on the compass display.
2. The compass bearing in degrees and an arrow indicator under the
Wenger cross will display.
3. The display will show for 30 seconds and turn off automatically.

10
Calibrating the Compass
1. See “Magnetic Declination by Major City” section to determine declination
angle and refer to p.12-14.
2. Hold down the Compass Button for 3 seconds to select setting display.
3. When the “CAL” is displayed keep the watch parallel to the horizon and
steadily rotate the watch clockwise two full rotations (the indicators will
move in a clockwise direction automatically).
4. After the two rotations the first step of the calibration is complete.
5. While the indicators are still moving press the Compass Button to set the
Magnetic Declination.
6. Use the Day Button to increase the setting (from –90 to 90) until the
desired setting appears.
7. When complete press the Date Button to return to the previous setting.

11
Taking a Compass Measurement
1. The watch must be parallel with the horizon for accurate reading.
2. Point the Wenger cross toward the object or direction you intend to go
and press the Compass Button.
3. The compass bearing of the
target will show in degrees:
0° = North
90° = East
180° = South
270° = West.
Note: For more information about
using a compass there are many
resources available on the internet.

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.

more information.
What is Magnetic Declination?
•The Magnetic North Pole is slightly different from the True North Pole.
This watch points to the Magnetic 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.

13
• For serious compass users or people who intend to perform accurate
navigation the compass must be adjusted to include the magnetic
declination. This watch includes a compensation setting for Magnetic
Declination. See the “Calibrating the Compass” section on p.10.
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.15-19.
• For those cities whose names are not included in the list enter the cities
latitude and longitude into one of the below magnetic declination
calculator websites:
-http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/index_e.php
-http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag

14
Magnetic Declination Compensation
•Compensate for an object’s bearing by subtracting westerly magnetic
declination or adding easterly magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.
Example 1
- Westerly magnetic declination = 23° Magnetic bearing = 323°.
- True bearing: 323°- 23° = 300°.
Example 2
- Easterly magnetic declination = 22° Magnetic bearing = 278°.
- True bearing: 278° + 22° = 300°.
• This watch will compensate the compass bearing automatically if the user
inputs the magnetic declination angle into the watch at the Magnetic
Declination setting mode.
• Check the “Calibrating the Compass” section on p.10 for more details
of the calibration.
