SECTION 2 – WATER-RESISTANCE
If your watch is water-resistant, it will be indicated ( ) on the
watch face or on the caseback.
• 30 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 60
p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 98 feet or 30 meters below sea level).
• 50 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 86
p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 164 feet or 50 meters below sea level).
• 100 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 160
p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 328 feet or 100 meters below sea
level).
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY
BUTTONS OR PULL OUT THE CROWN UNDER WATER UNLESS
YOUR WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-RESISTANT.
NOTES:
1. The watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal, crown and
case remain intact.
2. Even though the watch may be water-resistant to a significant depth
(100 or 200 meters), it is not a diver watch and should not be used
for diving.
3. CROWN MUST BE SCREWED INTO THE CASE PROTRUSION TO
ASSURE WATER-RESISTANCE (see Section 11).
4. Timex strongly recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water
after exposure to salt water.
SECTION 3 – HOW TO START YOUR WATCH
To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under the crown.
Then push the crown in as far as it will go against the case and
release. If your watch has a second hand, it should now advance in
one-second intervals.
SECTION 4 – HOW TO SET THE TIME
Before setting the time, if your watch has a day of the week and date,
first set the day (see Section 5) then the date (see Section 6). Before
setting the time, if your watch has a date only, set the date first (see
Section 6).
Timex watches either have a 2-position or 3-position setting crown as
illustrated below.

To Set the Time:
1. Pull the crown to the "OUT" position.
NOTE: If the crown does not pull straight out, your watch is
equipped with a screw-in setting crown. Refer to Section 11 before
proceeding further.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired
time.
3. Push the crown back in to restart the watch.
NOTE: To synchronize your watch with an external time reference
signal such as a clock or another watch, follow these steps:
1. When the second hand is precisely at 12 o'clock, pull the crown to
the "OUT" position. This will stop the second hand.
2. Set the watch one minute past the indicated time of the external
time reference.
3. When the time of the external time reference signal and the time set
on the watch coincide exactly (hours, minutes, seconds), push the
crown back in to restart your watch.
SECTION 5 – HOW TO SET THE DAY OF THE WEEK
There are two types of Day/Date watches. The day is set either in the
"MIDDLE" crown position or in the "OUT" position. To determine which
version you have, pull the crown to the "MIDDLE" position and slowly
rotate the crown CLOCKWISE.

If the day changes, continue to rotate the crown until you reach the
desired day. Then follow the instructions in Section 6 for setting the
date.
If the day does not change when the crown is rotated in the "MIDDLE"
position, pull the crown to the "OUT" position and proceed to slowly
rotate the crown CLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE through the
necessary number of 24-hour periods to advance to the desired day.
Then follow the instructions in Section 6 for setting the date.

In one version, the crown is rotated COUNTERCLOCKWISE only; in
the other version, the crown is rotated CLOCKWISE. Stop when the
desired date appears.
SETTING THE DATE ON TYPE B
Pull the crown to the "OUT" position and rotate the hands CLOCKWISE
through 24 hours until the desired date appears in the window. For a
quicker way to set the date, rotate the crown CLOCKWISE until the
date changes (approximately 1:00 am). Then rotate the crown
COUNTERCLOCKWISE back to 7:30 pm, then CLOCKWISE to 1:00
am. Repeat above procedures until the desired date appears in the
window.
Once set, the date will have to be advanced in this manner on five
occasions during the year (the five months that have fewer than 31 days).
If your watch is equipped with
a movable ring around the
watch face (as shown), it acts
as a slide rule and makes it
easy for you to calculate
speed, time, distance, and fuel
consumption, as well as doing
simple multiplication and
division, and converting among nautical miles, statute miles and
kilometers!

this case, the numbers on the movable ring and the numbers and
markers on the fixed ring inside it. Note that the numbers on the two
rings, 10 through 90, are not the same distance apart. Note also that
the inner ring has, besides the numbers, a large arrow or triangle
called the SPEED INDEX, and the outer ring has three markers that
help with the calculations: arrows labeled NAUT. and STAT. at the top
of the watch face, and an arrow labeled KM at the right of the face.
Compass Directions: The outer bezel is rotated in a counterclockwise
direction. This outer bezel includes two rings of markings, including
one that can serve as a compass. By orienting the watch so that the N
points north, you can determine any desired direction, including a
heading measured in degrees.
Multiplication: The number on the outer ring placed opposite 10 on
the inner ring, multiplied by any number on the inner ring equals the
adjacent number on the outer ring.
EXAMPLES:
1. To multiply 30 x 12: Place 30 on the outer ring next to 10 on the
inner ring. Opposite 12 on the inner ring is 36 on the outer ring
(multiply by the inner ring 10 which equals 360).
2. To multiply 30 x 25: Opposite 25 on the inner ring is 75 (multiply
this by inner ring 10 which equals 750).
3. The same outer ring position is used to calculate: 3 x 12 = 36. The
30 opposite 10 is divided by 10 to become 3, which cancels the
multiplication by 10 of the 36 opposite 12.
4. To calculate 30 x
120 = 3600: The
number opposite 12
(36) is multiplied by
10 since 30 was
opposite 10, then it
is multiplied by 10
again since 12 was
mulitplied by 10 to
arrive at 120.

= 3600: The number
opposite 12 (36) is
multiplied by 10 since 30 was opposite 10, then it is multiplied by
10 again since 30 was mulitplied by 10 to arrive at 300.
Division: Line up the number you want divided on the outside ring
with the number you want it divided by on the inner ring. The answer
is then the number on the outer ring opposite 10 on the inner ring
divided by 10.
EXAMPLES: Leaving the ring in place with 30 opposite 10:
1. 36 on the outer ring, divided by 12 on the inner ring, equals 3 (the
30 that is on the outer ring opposite 10 on the inner ring, divided by
that 10).
2. 75 divided by 25, 750 divided by 250 and 48 divided by 16 – all
equal 3 (the 30 that is on the outer ring opposite 10 on the inner
ring, divided by that 10).
NOTE: Calculations are approximate, and you may prefer to adjust the
number of zeros in the answer by making a common-sense estimate
instead of working through the mathematical reasoning.
Conversion Among Statute Miles, Nautical Miles, and Kilometers:
Set any of the three pointers on the outer ring – STAT, NAUT, or KM –
to the number on the inner ring that you wish to convert. The two
corresponding values will be opposite the other two pointers.
EXAMPLE: Set 40 on the inner ring opposite the NAUT arrow on the
outer ring. By reading the numbers opposite the STAT and KM
arrows, you will see 45.3 miles and 70.7 KM.

minutes (on the inner ring) and distance (on the outer
ring). You can use statute or nautical miles for distance
and speed, as long as you use the same units for both.
EXAMPLE: If you set 75 (mph) on the outer ring
opposite the SPEED INDEX triangle on the inner, you
can determine that in 20 minutes (inner ring) you can
travel 25 miles (outer ring); or that by finding 20 miles
on the outer ring, you can see that it will take you 16

you travelled 35 miles in 30 minutes. Looking on the outer ring above
the SPEED INDEX, you find the answer is 70 MPH (or 70 knots if you
consider the 35 miles to be in nautical miles).
Mileage and Fuel Consumption Calculations: The number on the
outer ring opposite the SPEED INDEX is your consumption in gallons
per hour. Any other pair of numbers will correspond, minutes on the
inner scale and gallons on the outer. (You can calculate liters instead of
gallons as long as you match liters with liters-per-hour).
EXAMPLE: How much fuel do you need to fly 7 hours
and 30 minutes, if you know your fuel consumption rate
is 320 gallons per hour. Set the SPEED INDEX to 32
(320 gallons per hour). Find 45 (450 minutes, or 7 hours
30 minutes) on the inner scale. The number opposite is
the answer: 24, or 2400 gallons. What is your
consumption rate if you used 150 gallons in 50 minutes

of flight time? Set 15 (150 gallons) on the outer scale opposite 50
(minutes) on the inner. Opposite the SPEED INDEX is the answer; 18 or
180 gallons per hour.
SECTION 8 – ELAPSED TIME RING
If your watch is equipped with a rotatable 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.
SECTION 9 – HOW TO USE THE COMPASS
If your watch is equipped with a compass, it gives an approximate
directional reading in 10˚ intervals. For a more accurate reading, place
the compass on a level surface.
TO REMOVE THE COMPASS – Remove the watch from your wrist,
push against the front of the compass and it will pop out of the strap.
TO REINSERT THE COMPASS – Place the compass under the opening
and push in.
SECTION 10 –
HOW TO USE THE COMPASS DIRECTIONAL RING
If your watch is equipped with a compass directional ring, it gives
approximate compass readings. Locate the sun and then follow these
steps:
1. Point the hour hand at the sun (see diagram).
2. WHEN IN A.M. TIME - Rotate the compass directional ring until S
(South) is past the hour hand and halfway between the hour hand
and 12:00.
WHEN IN P.M. TIME - Rotate the compass directional ring until S
(South) is before the hour hand and halfway between the hour hand
and 12:00.
Adjust the compass directional ring every hour to reflect changes in
the sun's position. When reading the compass directional ring, make
sure the hour hand is always pointed towards the sun. When the hour
hand is at 12:00 noon, S (South) should also be at 12:00.
