the fourth hand counterclockwise (pressing button B 
will move this hand clockwise), until the desired num-
ber of seconds has been selected. Please note that 
you are adding or subtracting the number seconds to 
complete the total desired time (example: for a total 
desired countdown time of 2:53:30, you will push 
button B 30 times to select 30 seconds). Once you 
have completed setting the number of seconds, push 
the crown in to position 1 to confirm your complete 
countdown timer value selection.COUNTDOWN TIMER OPERATION 
Once you have set the countdown timer to the desired 
length of time to count down, you can now operate the 
countdown timer.
Starting the countdown sequence: Press button A to 
start the countdown timer. The fourth center hand and 
the lower hand will begin to move counterclockwise. The 
upper hand will move clockwise. The hands will continue 
to indicate the remaining time left in the countdown 
sequence until the length of time you have set the count-
down timer has passed and the value of remaining time 
reaches zero. When the remaining time in the sequence 
reaches zero, the chime will sound signaling to you the 
countdown sequence has completed.

Interrupting the countdown sequence: If you wish 
to stop the countdown sequence prior to the sequence 
reaching zero, you may do so by pressing button A (the 
fourth center hand as well as the upper and lower hands 
will stop moving). If you wish to later begin the sequence 
from the point at which you stopped the countdown, sim-
ply press button A again (the fourth center hand as well 
as the upper and lower hands will resume moving). 
Resetting the countdown sequence: Once the count-
down sequence has reached zero and the chime has 
sounded, you may reset the countdown timer to the set 
value by pressing button B (the fourth center hand as well 
as the upper and lower hands will move to indicate the 
value of time you set prior to using the countdown timer 
function).Clearing the countdown timer value: If desired, you 
may clear the value of the countdown timer to zero. 
This can only be done if the countdown timer is not in 
operation and has been reset. If the countdown timer is 
running, you must first stop the countdown sequence by 
pressing button A, followed by pressing button B. This 
will stop and reset the countdown timer to the currently 
selected time value. To clear the countdown timer value 
to zero, push and hold button B for two seconds. You 
should now follow the instructions to set the countdown 
timer value to the new desired length of time.

Split time function: While the countdown timer is in 
operation, you may employ the split function to note the 
remaining time in the countdown sequence.
To use the split time function, press button B, which will 
make the upper, lower and 4th center hands freeze in 
place. The countdown function will continue to operate 
internally while the hands are frozen.
To resume the movement of the upper, lower and 4th 
center hands, press button B again and the hands will 
reposition themselves in proper placement to show the 
current time within the countdown sequence.3GMT

3 TIME ZONE FUNCTION
Your watch has the ability to display three time zones:
1. Hour and Minute hands: Displays the time in a stan-
dard 12 hour format. Please note: The date displayed 
in the date window is linked to the time displayed by 
these two hands.
2.  4th center hand and inner ring: Displays the time in a 
24-hour format.
3.  4th center hand and case rotating top ring: Displays 
the time in a 24-hour format. 4TH CENTER HAND ADJUSTMENT
To readjust a misaligned 4th center hand:
1. 
Pull the crown out to position 3. 
2.  4th center hand should point to 12 o’clock. If within 
5 seconds of pulling the crown to position 3 the 4th 
center hand does not point to 12 o’clock, press button 
A to move the hand clockwise until it points to 12 
o’clock. Pressing and holding button A will make the 
hand move at a fast rate. 
3.  Push crown in to position 1 when finished.

4TH CENTER HAND CALIBRATION
The 4th center hand is calibrated at the Timex factory to 
reflect the standard minutes within the hour as defined 
by Universal Time Coordinated. Globally a majority of 
locations use the standard minutes. If the location you are 
using for the 2nd and 3rd time zone uses the standard 
minutes, the 4th center hand does not require recalibra-
tion. Only if you wish to have the second and third time 
zones to reflect locations that do not follow the standard 
minute, the instructions to recalibrate the 4th center hand 
are as follows:
1. Pull the crown out to position 3. The 4th center hand 
will point to 12 o’clock.
2.  Rotate the crown to position the minute hand in the 
correct position within the hour required for the loca- tion you are wishing to use for the 2nd and 3rd time 
zones. 
3.  Push the crown in to position 2. The 4th center hand 
will point to its currently calibrated position of the 
minutes within the hour.
4.  Push button A to move the 4th center hand clockwise 
until it aligns with the minute hand. Pressing and hold -
ing button A will make the hand move at a fast rate.
5.  Pull the crown out to position 3. The 4th center hand 
will point to 12 o’clock.
6.   Rotate the crown to position hour and minute hands 
to the correct time.  
						

							106107
7. Push crown in to position 1 when finished. 
Please note: The 4th center hand will track the time using 
the current calibration of the minutes within the hour. 
Time zones 2 and 3 both utilize the 4th center hand and 
therefore the locations being tracked in time zones 2 and 
3 must both utilize the same minutes within the hour for 
these time zones to be displayed properly. 
SETTING THE 4TH CENTER HAND (TIME ZONE II)
Note the current time in the location you wish to track 
as the 2nd time zone. Press button A until the 4th center 
hand is pointing to that time on the inner ring. (Please 
note: this scale is a 24-hour format). The 4th center hand 
will advance 30 minutes each time button A is pressed. 
Pressing and holding button A will make the hand move at 
a fast rate. This will set the 2nd time zone on the watch. SETTING THE CASE ROTATING TOP RING 
(TIME ZONE III)
The 3rd time zone is set by using the existing setting of 
the 4th center hand and adjusting the case rotating top 
ring to the desired time of the 3rd time zone. (Please note: 
this scale is a 24-hour format). The top ring has 72 posi-
tions. To advance the top ring one hour you will advance 
it three positions (3 “clicks”). Note the current time in the 
location you wish to track as the 3rd time zone. Rotate 
the case top ring counter clockwise to position the cor-
rect hour marker for that time with the 4th center hand.

TACHYMETER FUNCTION(not all models)
The tachymeter will only determine speeds greater than 
60 units per hour using this method; slower speeds can 
be measured by decreasing the unit of measurement. 
The function performed by a tachymeter is independent 
of the unit of distance (e.g. statute miles, nautical miles, 
kilometers, meters etc.) as long as the same unit of length 
is used for all calculations.
1. Determine the start and finish markers for your    
pre-determined distance.
2.  Start the chronograph once the target for speed 
measurement passes the start marker.
3.  Stop the chronograph once the target for speed 
measurement passes the finish marker.
4. The chronograph second hand is compared to the 
tachymeter markings to determine the target’s speed.
SLIDE-RULE BEZEL FUNCTIONThe slide rule function of the top ring operates by rotating 
the outer ring. The inner ring does not move. The outer 
ring is always related to “distance” or “speed”, or any 
data that varies with time. The inner ring only notes units 
of time.
Outer Ring 
On the outer ring, the figure “10” represents factors or 
multiples of 10, such as 0.1, 1.0, 10, or 100. 
						

							110111
Inner Ring On the inner ring, “MPH” (mile per hour) refers to “speed in-dex”. This index is used to calculate the speed involving any 
data per hour. On the inner ring, “STAT” (statute miles) and 
“NAUT” (nautical miles) are for conversion of distance units.
OUTER RING
INNER RING
The following examples serve as a guide of how to use 
the slide rule.
SPEED CALCULATION:  
What speed is required to go 10 nautical miles in 
15 minutes? 
Known Factors: Distance: 10 nautical miles Time: 
15 minutes
•  Align “10” arrow on the outer ring with “15” on the 
inner ring.
•  The speed required can be found directly above the 
“MPH” marking on the inner ring.
The answer: 40 nautical miles per hour 
Time Calculation: How long will it take to go 10 nauti-
cal miles at a speed of 40 miles per hour?  
						

							112113
Known Factors: Speed: 40 miles per hour Distance: 
10 nautical miles
• Align “40” on the outer ring with the mark “MPH” 
marking on the inner ring.
•  The time required can be found directly below the “10” 
arrow on the outer ring, which is “15” on the inner ring.
The answer: 15 minutes
DISTANCE CALCULATION:  
How far can you travel at 40 miles per hour for 
15 minutes?
Known Factors: Speed: 40 nautical miles per hour Time: 
15 minutes
•  Align “40” on the outer ring directly above the mark 
“MPH” on the inner ring. • 
The distance travelled can be obtained above the “15” 
marker on the inner ring. The number indicated on the 
outer ring is “10”. 
The answer: The distance travelled is 10 nautical 
miles.
UNIT CONVERSION: 
To convert distance from nautical miles to statute miles 
and kilometers.
Known Factor: Distance to convert is 10 nautical miles
•  Align the “10” arrow on the outer ring above the 
“NAUT” on the inner ring. The conversion in statute 
miles (11.5) is found above the inner ring “STAT” mark-
ing, and the conversion to kilometers (18.5) is found 
above the inner ring “MPH” marking.
