LINEAR CHRONOGRAPH 
The watch provides a 4-hour split chronograph. 
1.  To start, press Button A (START/STOP). The 4th center 
hand shows the seconds with 1/5 second resolution. 
The linear hand shows the minutes, counting up to 
thirty and repeating. The lower hand shows the total 
time, including hours and minutes, with divisions every 
ten minutes. The chronograph counts up to four hours 
before stopping automatically. 
2.  To stop, press Button A (START/STOP) again. All hands 
stop moving. 
3.   To reset the chronograph to zero position, press But-
ton B (SPLIT/RESET). When the chronograph is reset, all hands move to zero 
position. After another eight seconds, the watch resumes 
normal display of the second time zone. While the 
chronograph is running, you may take a split time. Press 
Button B (SPLIT/RESET) and all hands will stop while the 
chronograph continues to run. Press Button B (SPLIT/
RESET) again to resume the display of the running  
chronograph elapsed time.

2. Press A or B to move the center hand to the city that 
represents your home time zone. Hold a button to 
move the hand quickly. Any city may be used.
3.  Pull the crown to its outer position. The city selector 
hand will revert back to the 12:00 position as indicated 
in INDICATOR HAND ADJUSTMENT. After a five second 
pause, the upper hand will show the world time (the 
time in the city selected in previous step), the center 
hand shows the minutes of the world time, and the 
lower hand shows the season (see SEASON SETTING). 
IMPORTANT: Do not manipulate any of the pushers 
or the crown until the center hand has completed its 
adjustment. (Approximately 10 seconds after crown is 
pulled to its outer position). 4. 
If the displayed season is not correct for the home 
time zone, press C to change it. If the home time zone 
observes daylight savings time, the upper hand will 
move by one hour. 
5.  Press A or B to move the time backward or forward, 
respectively, to set the world time zone to be the 
same as the home time zone. Hold a button to change 
the time quickly. The hands move together; as the 
center hand makes one revolution, the upper hand 
moves one hour. After setting, the center and minute 
hands should be aligned.
6.  Push the crown in when finished.

INDICATOR HAND (4TH CENTER HAND) ADJUSTMENT
To readjust a misaligned indicator hand:
1. Pull the crown to its outer position. The upper and 
lower hands reset to the ends of their sweeps, 
automatically.
2.  The 4th center hand should point to 12 o’clock. If it 
does not within 5 seconds of pulling the crown to 
its outer position, press A or B to move the hand 
counterclockwise or clockwise, respectively, until it 
points to 12 o’clock.
3.  Push the crown in when finished. 
NOTE: If no button is pressed for five seconds after the 
hands stop, the watch proceeds to the world time setting 
operation (see WORLD TIME SETTING). CITY TIME DISPLAY

tively, and select

hand moves to 
show the time in 
the selected city. 
Note that the scale is 24 hours, with midnight at either 
end and noon in the middle.
SEASON SETTING
The season setting allows the watch to compensate for 
daylight savings time (also called “summer time”).

The watch provides one setting to represent the two peri-
ods all cities that observe daylight savings time have. For 
the watch, the period of daylight savings time is SUMMER 
and the period of standard time is WINTER.
When the season in one city is set to SUMMER, all cities in 
the same hemisphere are automatically set to SUMMER, 
while all cities in the other hemisphere are automatically 
set to WINTER. The watch knows which cities are in each 
hemisphere.
Press C to change the season in the selected city.

COMPASS HAND ADJUSTMENT
Pull CROWN all the way out. Compass hand should point 
to 12 o’clock. If it does not, press either A or B to move 
compass hand until it points to 12 o’clock. Hold button to 
move hand fast. Push CENTER CROWN in when done and 
recalibrate compass.
COMPASS CALIBRATION
Before use, the compass must be calibrated.
Since a compass uses the earth’s magnetic field, you 
must be aware of large metallic objects, such as vehicles 
or bridges, or objects that give off electromagnetic 
radiation, such as televisions or computers, which 
could affect the magnetic field around the watch. If the 
compass is calibrated near such objects, it will only 
work properly in that same location. If the compass 
is calibrated away from such objects, it will not work properly near them. For best results, calibrate in the area 
of intended use.
In calibrating and taking headings, it is important, as with 
all compasses, to keep the compass level. Calibrating or 
taking a heading when the watch is not level can result 
in large errors. Also avoid areas that may exhibit higher 
than normal concentrations of hard and soft iron, as they 
may cause inaccurate headings. Whenever a heading is 
suspect, recalibrate. 
Do not store the watch near any source of magnetism, 
such as a computer, appliance, or television, as the 
watch can take on a magnetic charge, yielding inaccurate 
headings. Typical accuracy of wrist-worn instruments is 
within +/- 10 degrees.

To calibrate the compass:
1. Pull the crown to its middle position and wait for the 
indicator hands to stop moving.
2.  Keep the watch level or place it on a level surface (if 
the band interferes, place the watch on an inverted 
cup). The watch may be face down, but take care to 
protect the watch face.
3.  Press A or B to begin. The 4th center hand rotates two 
revolutions to remind you to rotate the watch. While 
level, SLOWLY rotate the watch two revolutions, taking 
at least 15 seconds per revolution.4. When done, press A or B, keeping the watch level. The 
4th center hand moves back and forth to acknowledge 
the end of calibration and then moves to the current 
magnetic declination setting.
5.  If you do not wish to set the magnetic declination, 
push the crown in. Otherwise, to have watch 
automatically compensate for the declination angle, 
turn the compass ring until north is at 12 o’clock.
6.  Press A or B to move the 4th center hand west (-) 
or east (+), respectively, to point to your location’s 
declination angle using the declination scale. Hold a 
button to move the hand quickly. See the figure on 
next page for an example. 
7.  Push the crown in when done.

COMPASS OPERATION
Normally, the compass is inactive, with the 4th center 
hand pointing to 12 o’clock or showing the chronograph 
seconds.
While holding the watch level, press A or B to activate 
the compass. The compass hand moves to point north. 
If the watch is turned, the 4th center hand will continue 
to move, always pointing north. After 20 seconds, the  compass will automatically turn off and the 4th center 
hand will return to its normal operation. This conserves 
battery life. Press A or B at any time to keep the compass 
on for another 20 seconds.
NOTE: During compass operation, the second hand 
moves in two-second increments.

TIDE TEMP AND COMPASSOVERVIEWINDICATOR HAND ADJUSTMENT
Pull crown all the way out. Indicator hand should point 
to 12 o’clock. If it does not, press either TIDE or TEMP 
push button to move hand until it points to 12 o’clock. 
TIDE and TEMP push buttons move hand clockwise and 
counterclockwise, respectively. Hold push button to move 
hand fast. Push crown in when done.
TIDE/TEMPERATURE SELECTION
Indicator hand shows either tide or temperature constant-
ly. When temperature is shown, press TIDE push button 
to select tide clock. Hand moves to low tide and then to 
current tide. When tide is shown, press TEMP push button 
to select thermometer. Hand moves to beginning of ther-
mometer scale and then to current temperature.

THERMOMETER
When worn on wrist, thermometer reading is affected by 
body heat. For more accurate readings, remove watch 
and put in shade for at least several minutes. 
Watch can measure water temperature also, if sub-
merged. Be sure to select temperature display before 
placing watch in water, as buttons should not be pressed 
when watch is underwater.
Thermometer readings are taken every minute, more 
frequently, if temperature is changing. 
TIDE CLOCK
For tide clock, indicator hand always rotates clockwise, so 
tide is rising when hand is pointing left and falling when 
pointing right. Number of hours to next high/low tide is 
shown on tide scale.Tides are influenced by sun position and shape of shore-
line, so tide clock cannot precisely give times of high and 
low tides. Periodic adjustment may be necessary. 
To set tide clock, pull crown to MIDDLE position. Press either 
TIDE or TEMP push button to move hand to current tide. TIDE 
and TEMP push buttons move hand clockwise and counter-
clockwise, respectively. Push crown in when done.
