INDIGLO® NIGHT-LIGHT

If your watch has “INDIGLO” on the dial, your watch is equipped with

the INDIGLO Night-Light. To activate this feature, depress the crown or

the pusher on the left side of the watch to illuminate the entire dial for

easy reading during nighttime or low light conditions. Light will appear

immediately.

Your NAUTICA watch featuring INDIGLO Night-Light contains a

patented electroluminescent technology (U.S. Patent Number 4,527,96

and 4,775,964). The INDIGLO Night-Light illuminates the entire watch

lens with a uniform bright light that offers superior readability in all low

light and nighttime conditions. Simply press the appropriate button to

activate.

WARNING: DO NOT PRESS THE BUTTON UNDER WATER AS THE

WATCH WILL NOT RETAIN WATER RESISTANCE

ELAPSED TIME RING

If your watch is equipped with a rotating outer dial with numbers and
indicators, this Elapsed Time Ring may be used to indicate the length
of time remaining for an activity or the starting time of an activity.

TIME REMAINING

- set the outer ring so that the triangle is pointing

to the time the activity is to end.

STARTING TIME

- set the triangle on the time the activity is to begin.

TACHYMETER

A tachymeter measures the speed at which the wearer has traveled
over a measured distance, i.e., a measured mile on the highway. For
example, start the chronograph when you pass the starting point and
stop it when you pass the finish point. You can then read your speed
in units per hour off the tachymeter scale.

BAND ADJUSTMENT

To disconnect band from clasp, press in end of spring bar
(use pin or small paper clip) and separate link band from

To reassemble band to clasp, place spring bar in band and place end
of spring bar into desired hole in clasp. Press opposite end of spring
bar in and slide into clasp and position so tip snaps into corresponding
hole.

accumulated until he finishes.

SPLIT TIME MEASUREMENT:

1. Press pusher “A” to start the timing of the first runner.

2. Press pusher “B” to stop and record the timing of the first runner.
(Once pusher B is activated, even though the stopwatch 1/20
sec. hand and the big stopwatch sec. hand stop on the dial, the
