PERPETUAL CALENDAR
Your Perpetual Calendar watch accurately keeps track of how many days are in
each month... It also adjusts for leap years... The date on your watch (including the
month and year) was preset at the factory to Eastern Standard Time, Greenwich
Mean Time or Hong Kong Standard Time (depending on where you purchased
your watch)... You only need to adjust the time...

ELAPSED TIME RING
If 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...
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...

TACHYMETER RING
The 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...
COMPASS RING
If 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...
