I. GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on having chosen a Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece. To ensure your
timepiece operates perfectly, we recommend you follow the advice given in these ins tructions for use:
Your timepiece is fitted with either a screw-down or a "pull-out" crown. In order to esta blish which, gently try to pull the crown out to position 2, if that works, your timepiece is
fitted with a "pull-out" crown. If not, use your thumb and forefinger to apply mild pressu re on the crown, while rotating towards you to release it. If it does so, you have a screwdown crown.
After use, push the crown back in or screw it down until it is secure in order to main-
tain the water resistance of your timepiece.
Quartz timepieces are battery-operated. When the battery is exhausted, we recommend
you have it replaced immediately at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Service Center
where the water resistance of your timepiece will also be checked. The battery is not
covered by the warranty.

English
The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely as joints
may age; crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate or temperature may vary.
We therefore recommend that you have the water resistance of your timepiece checked
every 18 months or when the timepiece case is opened at an authorized Victorinox Swiss
Army Service Center.
Never operate the crown and/or pushers when the timepiece is underwater and ensure that
the crown and pushers are properly pushed back or screwed down after each use.
METER/BAR CORRELATION
Meter and bar are different things: underwater, there is combined air and water pressure.
A depth of 10 meters equals 1 bar of water pressure and 1 bar of atmospheric pressure
above water level, therefore 2 bars in total.

ROTATING BEZEL
The rotating bezel enables divers to measure both dive time and any other lapse of time.
To measure time, simply turn the bezel to position the index (0 or 60) exactly opposite
the minute hand. The position of this hand in relation to the bezel will then indicate the
time elapsed since setting the bezel.
WATER RESISTANCE
Please check the details on the back of your Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece case and
read the following information carefully:
Water-resistant to 3 ATM (100 feet/30 meters). Resistant to rain and splashes and
accidental immersion, but must not be worn in the shower or when swimming.
Water-resistant to 5 ATM (165 feet/50 meters). May be worn in the shower or when
swimming in shallow water. Do not wear when diving.
Water-resistant to 10 ATM (330 feet/100 meters). May be worn when swimming or
snorkelling.
Water-resistant to 30 ATM (990 feet/300 meters). May be worn when swimming or
free diving and scuba diving.
Water-resistant to 50 ATM (1650 feet/500 meters). May be worn when swimming
or deep-sea diving.

MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC WINDING
Crown in position 1 (unscrewed)
You must wind any simple mechanical timepiece daily and at a regular time in order to
ensure smooth running of your timepiece. All you have to do is turn the crown away from
you until you feel a slight resistance (to avoid damaging the mechanism, do not overwind).
For timepieces fitted with an automatic winding function: the timepiece winds itself automatically as you move your wrist. If your timepiece stops or is not worn sufficiently, perform the same operation as for a manual timepiece (a few turns of the crown will suffice).
III. OTHER FUNCTIONS
CHRONOGRAPH
Chronograph function:
1. Press start/stop pusher A to start the timing
function.
2. Press the same pusher A to stop the timing
function.
3. To calculate additional time, press pusher A
again.
4. To return the three chronograph hands to
zero, use pusher B.

II. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
SETTING DATE AND TIME
Setting the time:
1. Pull the crown out to position 3.
2. Turn to the desired time.
3. Push the crown back to position 1.
(Remember to screw it back down if you
have a screw-down model)
Adjusting the date and day:
1. Pull the crown out to position 2.
2. Turn it away from you for the desired date.
3. Turn it towards you for the desired day.
4. Push the crown back to position 1.
To avoid any errors, do not perform this operation between 21.00 and 03.00 in the
morning when the date mechanism operates. Be careful not to confuse midday and
midnight.

2NDTIME ZONE
The timepiece has 4 hands in the center
(hours, minutes, seconds and 2ndTime Zone).
The 2ndTime Zone reading is indicated on the
outer scale of the dial (24 hours).
1. Pull the crown out to position 2.
2. Turn it towards you to set the 2
nd
Time Zone.
3. Push the crown back to position 1 once the
desired time is set.
DUAL TIME
The timepiece has a second crown (C) located
at 4 o'clock or at 11 o'clock. The 2ndTime Zone
reading is shown on the second small dial.
1. Pull out the small crown C to position 2.
2. Turn it away from you or towards you to set
the 2
nd
Time Zone.
3. Push the crown back to position 1 once the
desired time is set.

English
Intermediate/split time function:
The intermediate/split time function enables users to stop the hands to read an intermediate time while continuing timing. When the hands are restarted, the chronograph
makes up the elapsed time.
1. Press pusher A.
2. Press pusher B (elapsed time reading).
3. Press pusher A again (to make up elapsed time).
4. Press pusher B – stop function.
5. Press pusher B again to reset to zero.
Do not operate the pushers or crown when your timepiece is underwater or if it is wet.
TACHYMETER TIMER
The tachymeter timer allows you to measure the speed of an object moving at constant
speed. Start the chronograph and stop it after a certain distance covered (1 km or 1 mile
for example). The chronograph hand indicates a figure on the tachymeter scale in kph or
mph speed.
