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

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 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.

6 7

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. 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. Return 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. Return the crown to the fully depressed Position 1, assuring the crown has

been screwed down on all 200m watches.
