PERFECT DATE
With your watch’s Perfect Date™ feature, the date does 
not need adjustment until 2060. The watch automatically 
accounts for short months and leap years, and will always 
display the correct date upon demand. The date was 
preset at the Timex factory. When initially starting your 
new watch, if the date displays the date before or behind 
the date in your location, you will need to revise the date 
for your local date. Pull the crown out to the outer position. 
The 4th center hand will rotate around the dial one revolu-
tion, will stop at 12:00 o’clock position for about 5 seconds 
and then move to the date at which the watch is currently 
set. Rotate the crown forward to increase the time to the 
current date (backward to decrease the time to the current 
date). Each time you pass midnight the date will change 
by one day. After you have set the date to your local date,  continue rotating the crown to position the hands to the 
current local time, being mindful of am/pm. Once the time 
is set, push the crown back in to the closed position. In 
normal operation the 4th center hand will display the date 
when the crown is pushed. The hand will travel to the 
position of the current date as shown on the top ring of 
the case. The hand will pause for you to be able to read 
the date and then return back to the 12 o’clock resting 
position. 
Please note that the Perfect Date
™ function 
will only operate in the Time mode. When the battery is 
depleted and is replaced, the Perfect Date function must 
be recalibrated. When the battery requires replacement, 
it is highly recommended the watch be sent to a Timex 
service center, where the battery will be replaced and the 
Perfect Date function will be recalibrated to the current 
date for the location where the watch is to be returned.

hand will continue to advance through the 4-hour 
scale. (Please note: button C is disabled while the 
chronograph is in operation).

four hours. Once this four hour period has elapsed, the 
upper hand will remain on the four hour marker and the 
lower hand will return to zero. The chronograph function

time has elapsed and will not function until the chrono-
graph has been reset by pressing button B).
COUNT-DOWN TIMER 
The watch provides a count-down timer function.
Special note: The upper hand, lower hand, and 4th 
center hand are united during steps 3, 4 and 5 below. As 
you move the minute and second hands forward/back-
ward, you will see all three hands reacting to the addition 
or subtraction to the length of time for the countdown 
timer duration. After pulling the crown out to the middle 
position, pressing button C will advance you through the 
cycle of hand engagement as follows: Upper hand (press button C) - Lower hand (press button C) - 4th Center hand 
(press button C) back to Upper hand….this allows you to 
advance through the cycle to engage the hands you need 
to adjust to achieve setting the desired length of time to 
count down. Pressing the crown in will end the setting 
procedure and confirms the values set so far at any point 
in this cycle.
SETTING THE COUNTDOWN TIMER
The countdown timer may only be set when the count-
down timer function is not in operation. If the countdown 
timer was previously used, it will need to be reset. If the 
timer is currently in operation, it must be stopped and 
reset in order to set the countdown timer.
1. Press button C until the upper hand is at some point 
on the Timer scale. If the Timer has previously been

this is the first time the timer is being set, it will point 
to the 0 on the timer scale.

Please note that you are selecting the number of 
hours in the closest half-hour increment to the total 
desired time (example: for a total desired countdown 
time of 2:53:30, you will select 3 hours). Once you 
have completed setting the number of hours, press 
button C to confirm your selection. 4. 
Now you may set the desired number of minutes in 
one minute increments by pressing button A to move 
the lower hand counterclockwise (pressing button 
B will move this hand clockwise), until the desired 
number of minutes has been selected. Please note 
that you are adjusting the number minutes forward 
or backwards to get to the desired time (example: for 
a total desired countdown time of 2:53:30, you will 
press button A seven times which will move the total 
countdown time from 3 hours to 2:53:00). You will no-
tice the hour hand will move slightly backwards from 
the 3 hour marker towards the 2.5 hour marker. Once 
you have adjusted the time to the correct number of
