Crafted For Life
Delémont, Switzerland 1893

Over a century ago, Wenger built a factory in this tiny Swiss village and
transformed it into production headquarters for the Genuine Swiss Army

™

Knife

still used by the Swiss Army today. As it was 100 years ago, each tool,
implement and knife manufactured by Wenger is crafted by hand in solid
stainless steel and each individually inspected for quality and craftsmanship.
This same attention to detail has been applied to genuine Wenger watches.
Wenger watches are Swiss-designed, -engineered and -crafted with only the
most accurate Swiss movement available. Each watch is constructed with
form and function that last a lifetime. As with the genuine Swiss Army knife,
Wenger watches are durable, high quality, and versatile enough for use on any
occasion. Wenger watches are engineered to provide the same resourcefulness
as the genuine Swiss Army knife, supplying functionality beyond the everyday.

Position 1

Setting the Time and Date on Standard Watches

(see Table of Contents on p.1 for other watches)

Important note: If the crown of your watch does not pull directly out or if
your watch is water-resistant to 200m, then you may have a watch with a
screw-down crown. Rotate the crown counterclockwise until the crown moves
away from the watch. This will set the crown in Position 1. Always screw down
the crown after making any adjustments. This is very important as the screw­down crown assures water resistance.

Position 2

Position 3

1. Pull out the crown to Position 2 (one “click” out). Rotate crown counter-

clockwise until the date shows one day earlier than the date you want to set.

2. Pull out the crown to Position 3 (two “clicks” out). Rotate crown so the

watch hands move clockwise until the current date shows. Then set the
watch hands to the correct time. Turn the watch hands past 12 once if
you’re setting the watch for a P.M. time. Push the crown back to Position 1.

3. For a watch with day and date display, pull out the crown of the watch to

Position 2, turn it clockwise to change the day and counterclockwise to
change the date.

4. Retur n the crown to the fully depressed Position 1, assuring the crown has

been further screwed down on all 200m watches.

For Watches Without a Date Display

1. To set the time for watch without date display, pull out the crown to

Position 2. Turn the crown either clockwise or counterclockwise to set the
correct time.

2. Retur n the crown to the fully depressed Position 1, assuring the crown has

been screwed down on all 200m watches.
