Your watch features a dual-time dial with 24-hour GMT hand that allows you to monitor the time in a second time zone anywhere in the world.

Reading the Watch:

In this illustration: The current time in the first time zone is 10:10’32” (10:10 PM) as indicated by the Hour and Minute hands on the outer 12-hour ring. The current time in the second time zone is 11:10’32” (11:10 AM) as indicated by the GMT hand on the inner 24-hour ring.

NOTES: The Minute and Seconds hands are the same for both time zones.

The Date is synchronized with the time in the first time zone.

ALWAYS set/adjust the 24-hour GMT hand (second time zone) first, then set the time in the first time zone.

To set 24-Hour GMT Hand (second time zone):

OVERVIEW

This chronograph features a precise quartz chronograph movement with minute counter (up to 30), tenths-of-a-second counter (after 30 minutes, functions as an hour counter) and small seconds subdials; center-mounted chronograph seconds hand; and sophisticated calendar function with day and month display windows and center-mounted date indicator hand. It can be used to time an event up to 30 minutes in duration to the nearest 1/10 of a second, or up to 10 hours in duration to the nearest second.

TIME/DATE SETTING

Setting the time:

1. As soon as small seconds hand S reaches 60-second position, pull crown out to position 2. Watch will stop.

2. Turn crown in either direction to move hands to correct time, making sure date changes at midnight, not noon.

3. Move hands slightly ahead of exact time, then slowly turn crown counterclockwise to align minute hand M with correct minute marker.

4. Take an accurate time signal (from a radio news station, for example). The instant the audible tone signals exact time, push crown back in to position 1. Watch will restart, now set to the exact time.

Using Quick Date Change Feature:

Push date corrector button L located on side of case at 8 o’clock to advance date rapidly – at the end of a month with fewer than 31 days, for example.

Each press and release of corrector button L will advance the date by one day.

NOTE: If you use quick date change between 9:00 PM and 00:20 AM, set date to the following day; date will not automatically advance at midnight if corrector L is used between these hours.

Setting the Time, Date, Day of week and Month:

1. Pull crown out to position 2. Watch will stop.

2. Turn crown in either direction to move hands to correct time, making sure date changes at midnight, not noon. (To set time to exact second, see “Setting the time”.)

3. Push crown back in to position 1. Watch will restart.

NOTE: Each press and release on corrector buttons will advance setting by one increment:

4. Use corrector button L (on side of case at 8 o’clock) to advance date indicator hand F.

5. Use corrector button W (on side of case at 10 o’clock) to advance day of week shown in day window D.

6. Use corrector button K (on side of case at 2 o’clock) to advance month shown in month window J.

Chronograph Functions

Use buttons A and B to operate the chronograph. Pressing button A the first time will start the chronograph. While the chronograph

is running, once the chronograph seconds counter hand C has completed one turn, minute-counter hand E will jump ahead one minute. Tenths-of-a-second hand G does not move when the chronograph is running. Pressing button A a second time will stop the chronograph and move hand G to the relevant tenth-of-a-second mark. Pressing button B will reset hands G, E and C to zero. Adjusting the time does not stop the chronograph, but it does block buttons A and B for as long as the crown is pulled out.

To Operate the Chronograph:

IMPORTANT: Crown must be in position 1 and hands must be at zero before chronograph is started. If necessary, press push-button B to reset hands to zero. If push-button A or B is accidentally pressed with crown in position 2, one or more of the chronograph hands may become de-synchronized. Should this occur, see directions for synchronizing hands at end of following instructions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Removable Links

REGULAR BRACELET LINK

Certain bracelet watches feature bar-shaped connecting links that function like jewelry clasps, allowing you to achieve a quick, custom fit.

TIPS: We recommend that you adjust one side of the bracelet at a time.

To ensure that the watch will sit properly on the wrist, it is best to remove/add an equal number of links on each side. If you must remove an odd number, take the extra link from the 6 o’clock side.

To remove links:

1. Hold one side of watch bracelet as shown, with a regular link grasped between the thumb and index finger of each hand, and one bar clasp link between them.

2. Gently twist your hands in opposite directions to “pop” the bar clasp link open.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 further along length of bracelet, to remove the desired number of links.

To reattach links:

1. Line up the two lengths of bracelet you wish to reconnect side by side, face up.

2. Use an open bar clasp link to rejoin them: Once the bar link is in proper position, squeeze it together between your fingers until you feel it snap closed, locking the bracelet sections back together.

Repeat process above to remove and reattach links on other side of bracelet.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your watch has been developed with meticulous attention to quality, function and detail. Please read the following information and instructions carefully to learn about the features, proper care and operation of your new timepiece.

For additional information on service and repairs, please see your Warranty & Service Guide booklet – or return to our service website home page and click on the Warranty and Service Information link.

Shock

All our watches have shock-resistant movements and are tested to meet international standards for shock resistance.

Magnetism

The exposure of a timepiece to a strong magnetic field will affect its time-keeping, and may cause it to stop. A quartz watch should resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the magnetic field; an automatic or hand-wound mechanical timepiece, however, may require demagnetization before it will operate again.

Water Resistance

All our watches meet international standards for water resistance to at least 3ATM / 30M / 99 feet, so faucet spray or rain won’t hurt them as long as the case, crown and crystal remain intact.

Timepieces marked water resistant to 50M / 5 ATM / 165 feet may be worn while showering or swimming, but not scuba diving.

CAUTION: Do not press the push-buttons on a chronograph model when the watch is under water, or it will not remain water resistant.

NOTES: We recommend that you do not get your leather strap wet. Exposing leather to water can cause premature wear and deterioration.

Carefully wipe your watch using a soft cloth dampened with fresh water after exposure to chlorine or sea water.

Battery Information

Your quartz analog watch or chronograph has a battery specially designed for watches. It will last approximately 18-36 months under normal use.

NOTE: Frequent use of special functions, like the stopwatch timer on chronograph models, may shorten battery life.

End-of-life feature: The seconds hand on many models will start to move haltingly in 4-second increments when the battery is almost exhausted, signaling the need to have it replaced.

Battery replacement: Take or send your watch to an Authorized Service Center to have battery changed – your old battery will be disposed of/recycled properly. Do not attempt to change the battery yourself.
