THANK YOU. . . for your purchase.
Your new watch has been carefully
designed to give you years of reliable
service. It’s design incorporates the latest
watchmaking technology and a reliable,
Swiss made 25 jewel automatic (selfwinding) movement. Please let us know if
you have any comments or suggestions as
to how we might improve our products.
USING THE SCREW CROWN (C)
Your watch i s equipped with a screw-down,
locking crown. This screws into the case
like a submarine hatch, to ensure the most
reliable possible waterproof seal. To set your
watch, you must first unscrew the crown
by turning it counter-clockwise 4-5 turns.
It can then be pulled gently out from the
case for setting. After setting or resetting
the watch always ensure that you screw
the crown back into the case by pressing it
firmly into the case; then, applying a gentle
pressure against the case, turn the crown
clockwise 4-5 turns until it is snug against
the case. Always ensure that it turns
smoothly and is not cross-threaded. Do
not overtighten! (Finger-tight will ensure
a good water-proof seal.) If damage to the
watch occurs due to a failure to screw in
the crown correctly, such damage cannot
be covered under warranty.
SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
To set the watch, first unscrew the crown.
Once unscrewed, the crown will be in the
“NEUTRAL” (or manual winding) position. It
can then be pulled out two “stops”. The first
to run slower. For this reason, we generally
tune watches to run slightly fast when new;
they will then gradually slow down. When
you find your watch is slow and needs to
be reset too often, it is time to have your
watch serviced and re-tuned.
2. SHOCKS: an extreme impact can cause
timekeeping to become erratic. If this
happens, send your watch to one of our
Service Centers.
3. MAGNETISM: do not expose your watch
to strong magnetic fields (e.g. leave it on
your television set, which contains a large
magnet); this can magnetize the movement
and cause inaccurate timekeeping.
WATER PROTECTION
This watch is designed for underwater use.
Each watch is tested to 300M / 990FT and
can be used for any water-sports, including
diving and swimming, provided the crown
is correctly screwed in. Marking regulations
in some countries do not allow the use of
the term “waterproof” on watches, even
on diver’s models. That is why we mark our
watches as “water-resistant” tested to a
specific depth-rating.
CHOOSIN G THE RIGHT BAN D
A selecti on of alterna te bands are avai lable
to fit your watch : these may incl ude
natural ru bber, polyur ethane, var ious
styles of h igh qualit y leather b ands, or a
matching m etal bracel et. If you would l ike
to order an al ternate band for your watc h,
please con tact your dealer, or our S ervice
Centre, or visit: www.momentumwatch.

CRYSTAL
Most of our wa tches are fitted with a he attempered mineral crystal. Please note
that while th is glass is he at-harden ed, an
impact with a hard or sha rp objec t can
scratch the cr ystal, o r crack or shatter it.
If this happ ens, return the watch to one
of our Ser vice Centers , where the cr ystal
can be replaced for a moderate charg e.
(Scratches a nd impac t damage a re not
covered unde r warranty.) A vir tually
scratch pro of sapphire cryst al is standard
on all S-Series models a nd is availab le at
extra cost for m any other mod els. Please
check with o ur Service Department.
TEMPERATURE CARE
Avoid temperature extremes. Exposing your
watch to high temperatures, such as placing
it on the dashboard of a vehicle or use in
a jacuzzi or hot tub may cause the watch
to malfunction, shorten battery life, or
cause deformations of certain components
leading to mechanical failures. Leaving the
watch in extreme cold temperatures may
cause irregular time keeping until the watch
returns to normal operating temperatures.
For these reasons, you should remove your
watch prior to exposure.

position is the DATE QUICK SET position,
and the second position (fully out) is the
TIME SETTING position.
To set the date, pull the crown out one stop,
to the DATE QUICK SET position. Turn the
crown clockwise until the date in the date
window shows yesterday’s date. Then, pull
the crown out one more stop to the TIME
SETTING position and turn the hands
forward until the date in the date window
changes to the current date. Keep turning
the hands forward until you reach the
correct time. Once the time is set, press in
and screw down the crown. NOTE: If you set
the watch after 12 o’clock noon, make sure
you turn the hands around the dial and past
12 o’clock (noon) to set the PM time. If you
do not do this, the date will change at noon,
instead of midnight.
STARTING YOUR WATCH
Your watch uses a mechanical movement,
with no batteries. It is “powered” by a
spring, which needs to be wound regularly.
Provided you wear your watch, the regular
motion of your wrist will cause a rotor in
the back of the movement to spin, thereby
winding your watch. When fully wound,
your watch will run for approximately 35
hours without winding. If you do not wear
your watch for a longer period, it will stop:
You must give it a good shake to spin the
automatic rotor and start the watch. You
can also unscrew the crown, then give
it several turns in the neutral position
to manually wind the watch and start it
running. Once the second hand is running,
set the time and date, then press in and
screw down the crown firmly.
USING THE ROTATING BEZEL (B)
Your watch is equipped with a rotating
bezel. This is the ring around the outside
of the watch face, which gives you a simple
and legible way to track bottom-time on a
dive, or any elapsed time. Simply turn the
bezel so that the arrow marker is opposite
the minute hand. The minute hand will
move forward. You can then read the time
elapsed since you set the bezel, by looking
where the minute hand points on the bezel.
While the intended use of this is for diving,
it can also be useful reminder for everyday
timing. (e.g. remembering elapsed time
on a parking meter!) Also note that, for
safety reasons, the bezel rotates counterclockwise only! If you set the bezel for a
dive, then knock it accidentally, this will
only show a greater than actual bottom
time, so you will never underestimate your
bottom time.
TECHNICAL NOTES:
1. ACCURACY: specially made in Switzerland,
your watch contains the finest quality, 25
jewel automatic movement. While not as
precise as a quartz watch, it should be
accurate to approximately 3-5 minutes
per month when new. The movement is
carefully oiled and tuned; over time, the oil
will dry out and thicken, causing your watch
