Date. Chronograph: measures minutes, seconds, tenths of seconds; split times. Battery duration: about 3 years. 2 B SETTING THE TIME AND DATE · · · · · Pull the crown all the way out (3). Turn the crown clockwise to set the desired time. Push the crown back into position (2). Turn the crown clockwise to set the desired date : the date is set automatically every time the hour hand passes the midnight. Push the crown back into position (1) and close it by applying a light pressure on the case. Note: Do not set the date between 9.00 p.m. and 3.00 a.m. to avoid damaging the mechanism. For an optimum accuracy, mechanical watches must be recharged every day and worn in the correct way, i.e. making sure that they fit the wrist snugly. 3 C CHRONOGRAPH · · · Press Press Press to start the chronograph. to stop the chronograph measurement. to reset the chronograph. To use the chronograph in sequence without including the intervals between the events, adding the times together: · Press to start the chronograph. · Press once more to stop the chronograph and register the measurement. · Proceed in the same way for all subsequent measurements. · When finished, the chronograph will display the total time for all events (without the interruptions between them) and the individual times measured. · Press to reset the chronograph. To measure the times of a single event and simultaneously display intermediate times: · Press to start the chronograph. · Press to measure the first intermediate time. The chronograph continues the measurement even during the display of intermediate times. · Press once more. The chronograph hands will recover the lost time and continue the measurements from the beginning of the previous one. · Repeat the operation to obtain the next intermediate times. · Press to display the total time. · Press B to reset the chronograph. 4 D CHRONOGRAPH RESET Before resetting the counters, make sure that the chronograph measurement is disabled and in Stop position. · Place the crown in position (2) and press to reset the minutes counter. · Place the crown in position (3) and press to reset the seconds counter. · Place the crown in position (3) and press to reset the tenths of second counter. 5 E PRECAUTIONS AND USEFUL INFORMATION Indication Degree of water resistance Use Case Spray, sweat, light rain, washing, etc. Swimming, etc. Dial A B C D E WATER RESISTANT 30M (3ATM) WATER RESISTANT 50M (5ATM) WATER RESISTANT 100M (10ATM) WATER RESISTANT 200M (20ATM) or more WATER RESISTANT WATER RESISTANT WATER RESISTANT WATER RESISTANT NO YES YES YES YES NO NO YES YES YES "WATER RESISTANT" may sometimes be abbreviated to "WATER RESIST" - In order to prevent water coming into contact with the internal mechanism, never pull the crown out when the watch is wet. - If any watches designed for sportswear or use in water come into contact with salt water or heavy sweating, they should be rinsed in fresh water and dried thoroughly. 6 in water Skin-diving Scuba diving Water-resistance characteristics NO NO NO YES YES NO NO NO Not water resistant. Must be kept away from water and moisture Average water resistance. Can withstand spray, sweat, light rain, washing, etc. during daily use Can be worn while swimming but not diving NO Suitable for skin-diving. YES * Full tighten crown screw lock. * Always keep the crown in its normal position. - Contact with water may cause a deterioration in the quality of some leather straps. - As internal parts of the watch can retain moisture, when the outside temperature is lower than the inside, the watch glass may mist-up. This phenomenon is purely temporary and should not create any problems. However, if it persists for any length of time, the watch should be checked by the shop where it was purchased or by the nearest Authorised Service Centre. 7 Temperature Do not leave the watch exposed to direct sunlight or temperature extremes for long periods of time. Long exposure, in fact, may adversely affect the operation of the watch and actually shorten battery life, causing it to gain or lose time and affect its other functions. Impact This watch can withstand normal everyday impacts and shocks and those normally imparted by non-contact sports. Serious damage, however, may result if the watch is dropped or subjected to severe shock. Magnetic fields This watch is antimagnetic up to 60 gauss, and is therefore not affected by magnetic fields produced by normal domestic appliances. If used near strong magnetic fields, its operation may be temporarily affected. Static electricity The integrated circuits present inside the watch are sensitive to static electricity. If the watch is exposed to intense electrical fields, the time display may temporarily lose some of its accuracy. 8 Chemicals and gases Avoid wearing the watch in the presence of strong gases or chemical substances. Parts of the watch may discolour, dissolve or even break if brought into contact with benzol or petroleum based products such as solvents, thinners, detergent, adhesives etc. Pay special attention to avoiding contact with chemicals. The watch case and strap may discolour if they come into contact with mercury from a broken thermometer or other equipment. Keeping the watch clean Use an absorbent soft cloth to clean off any dirt or damp from the watch glass. Wearing the watch when the strap or back of the case is dirty can cause skin irritation. Cleaning the watch strap: · Metal bands: use a toothbrush and soapy warm to wash the dirt off. · Plastic or rubber straps: wash with water. Do not use solvents. · Leather straps: gently rub the face of the strap using a soft dry cloth. Clean the opposite side with a cloth and alcohol. Periodic inspection In order to guarantee long trouble-free operation, it is advisable to have the watch checked by an Authorised Assistance Centre once every two years. Keep batteries out of the reach of children If a battery is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately. 9 F TECHNICAL DATA 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
