							WATER AND SHOCK RESISTANCEIf your watch is water-resistant, meter marking
(WR_M) is indicated.

ENGLISH
HOW TO START YOUR WATCHTo start your watch remove the plastic guard from
under the crown, then press the crown in against 
the case. The second hand will begin advancing in
one-second intervals.
Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require
the setting crown to be screwed in to secure  
water-resistance. If your watch case has a protrusion
with screw threads, the crown must be screwed in
after setting the watch.
To screw in, push the crown firmly against the
threaded protrusion and hold in while turning the
crown clockwise. Continue to screw in the crown
until it is tight. You will need to unscrew the crown
(counter-clockwise) before pulling it out the next time
you want to set your watch.

							ELAPSED TIME RINGIf your watch is equipped with a rotatable outer ring
on the face, with numbers corresponding to minutes,
you can use this Elapsed Time Ring to time an activity
from the start, or to mark the ending time for the
duration of an activity.
TO TIME AN ACTIVITY FROM THE START:Set the Start/Stop triangle at the time (hour or
minute) when you start the activity (As shown on the
left in the illustration shown below). At completion,
you can see how long the activity took.

							TACHYMETER RINGThe tachymeter feature can be used to measure
speed in miles per hour (MPH), nautical miles per
hour (knots) or kilometers per hour (KPH) using the
sweep second hand and the scale on the wall above
the watch face. You need to know the actual  distance
you are covering in miles or km.
Start the chronograph with the second hand at zero
(the twelve o’clock position). Within the first minute,
the second hand will point to the rate for a one-mile
(or one kilometer) course: if it takes 45 seconds, the
hand will point to 80 at that position – 80 MPH or 
80 KPH.
If within the first minute, a distance greater than one
mile or kilometer is covered, multiply the tachymeter
number by the distance to get the actual rate: if you
went 1.2 miles in 45 seconds, multiply the 80 by 
1.2 – 96 MPH.
17
ENGLISH
TO MEASURE THE TIME REMAINING:Set the triangle to the hour or minute position when
you wish to complete the activity, and check the
watch periodically for progress towards that goal.
In the illustration shown on the previous page on the
right you can stop when the minute hand reaches
the 20 minutes past the hour position.

COMPASS RINGIf your watch is equipped
with a movable ring around
the dial marked at the
letters “N”, “E”, “W”, “S” 
(for the four compass
directions) or compass
degrees, you can use this feature 
to find an approximate compass
directional reading.
1)   Lay the watch on a flat surface,or hold it so that the face is
  parallel to the ground.
2)   Locate the sun and point the hour hand at the sun.
3)   In the A.M., rotate the ring until the “S” (south) marker is halfway between the hour hand and
12:00 (after the hour hand or within the shortest
distance between the hour hand and 12:00).
4)   In the P.M., rotate the ring until “S” is before the hour hand and halfway between the hour hand
and 12:00.
