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
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 chronograph
watches are engineered to provide the same resourcefulness as the genuine
Swiss Army knife, supplying functionality beyond the everyday.

Wenger Chronograph Watch Components
Movements – Swiss quartz movements featuring a 12 hour or 30-minute timer,
60-second timer, seconds hand timer, and 1/10-second timer. All Wenger Swiss
quartz movements are accurate to 1/10 of a second per day.
Case Body – All stainless steel or titanium for quality and durability.
Water-Resistant – To 50m (165'), 100m (330') or 200m (660') for dive watches.
Straps/Bracelets – Only stainless steel or titanium bracelets featuring dive
buckles or deployant jewelry buckles are featured. Straps are offered in genuine
calfskin leather, specially treated rubberized leather, durable, water-resistant
rubber or nylon, or other high-quality materials.
Luminous Markers – Hands, markers, and numerals may be overlaid with Super
®
Luminova,
a luminous material which recharges in seconds when exposed to
direct sunlight for improved, extended nighttime visibility.
Crystals – The crystal is the clear surface which covers the watch dial. Wenger
uses only scratch-resistant mineral crystals or sapphire crystals for durability.

Setting the Time and Date
(For Chronos and Pilot Series only – Power Reserve Alarm see p.16)
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 screwdown 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 screw-down
crown assures water resistance.
Position 1

Position 2
Position 3
1. Pull out the crown to Position 2 (one “click” out). Rotate crown counterclock-
wise 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.
3. Return the crown to the fully depressed Position 1, assuring the crown has
been further screwed down on all 200m watches.
Using the 30-Minute Chronograph (Stopwatch) Feature
The chronograph feature is a stopwatch which measures minutes, seconds, and
1/10 of a second. It is also capable of measuring split-timed events (timing a
continuous event and sub-events simultaneously; e.g., timing an individual lap
and an entire race). Note: the 1/10-second timer (right subdial) will not move
until the stop button is pushed. It will then record the elapsed 1/10-seconds.
Stopwatch
1. To start the stopwatch, push the top pusher.
2. To stop it, push the top pusher again.

3. Read the 1/10
th
seconds,seconds, and minutes on the appropriate dials
4. To reset the stopwatch to zero, push the bottom pusher.
Note: The clock function of the watch will continue to operate while using
the stopwatch.
Using the Split-Timing Function
1. Press the top pusher to start the stopwatch.
2. To read a lap or other intermediate segment of time, push the bottom push-
er. The watch hands will stop, but the watch will continue to time the total
event internally.
3. To resume timing the total event, push the bottom pusher again.
4. You may repeat this as often as you like. The internal clock will continue to
time the total event each time you repeat the process.
5. To stop timing the total event, push the top pusher.
6. Reset the stopwatch to zero by pushing the bottom pusher.
Recalibrating the Timer Hands on 30-Minute Models
The timer hands are preset to begin at zero. It is possible that over time the
hands will not begin at zero. If this happens you will need to recalibrate the
hands. You may also set them to begin at a different point (see below).
1. To recalibrate the 30-minute timer, pull the crown out to Position 3 (unscrew
the crown first if watch is 200m). Press the top pusher repeatedly until seconds hand is in desired starting position.
2. To recalibrate the seconds hand timer, pull the crown out to Position 2
(unscrew crown first if watch is 200m). Press the top pusher repeatedly until
seconds hand is in desired starting position.
3. To recalibrate the 1/10 -second timer, pull the crown out to Position 2
(unscrew crown first if watch is 200m). Press the top pusher repeatedly until
1/10-seconds hand is in desired starting position.
4. Return crown to Position 1 when finished, assuring crown is screwed down
on 200m watches.
