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. 2 3 Optional Features · Rotating bezel: elapsed time, dual time zone, and countdown timer · Tachymeter measures speed over a known distance · Power reserve subdial measures battery life · Internal rotating bezel · Date display window · Day of the week display subdial · Screw-down crown for added water resistance · Military time features printed 24-hour indicators · Jeweled movements which decrease friction for accuracy · Push-button release clasp · Mother-of-Pearl dial · Genuine Swarovski® crystal markers General Features and Components Bracelet or strap Rotating bezel Top pusher Subdials (two or three) Crown (used to set date and time) Regular seconds hand Case Bottom pusher Chronograph seconds hand 5 4 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. 1. Pull out the crown to Position 2 (one "click" out). Rotate crown counterclockwise 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 Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 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. 6 7 3. Read the 1/10th 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. 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. 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 pusher. 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. 8 9 12-Hour Chrono Series Top pusher Setting the Time and Date Follow instructions on p.6.
