Instructions for use of the Chronograph ‘The Original’

You have acquired a chronograph that unites ageless design and advanc­ed technology in an exceptional time piece: reliable, scratchproof and
water-resistent to a depth of 30 m (98 ft), exactly as one has come to
expect from a Rado watch. The chronograph functions are easy to operate
and allow time measurements accurate to 1⁄10th of a second.

Pull out the crown to position 1
and set the desired hour by turning

Setting the date

Pull out the crown to position 1
