Settings

Models with a screwed down crown

To ensure even better water-resistance, some models are fitted with a screwed down crown. Before setting the time or date, you must first unscrew the crown to position

, before pulling it out to position

III.

Important : After each operation, you must always screw the crown back down to ensure that your watch remains water-resistant.

Setting the time

Pull the crown out to position

III

and turn it clockwise or anticlockwise to set the desired time. Synchronise the small seconds hand at the 6 o'clock position with an

official time signal (radio/ TV/Internet) by pulling out the crown to the second notch; the hand will then stop. Once the time has been synchronised, push the crown

back down into position I (and tighten it back down on models with a screwed down crown).

Winding

Quartz watches never need to be wound.

Rapid date correction

Pull the crown out to position

and turn it anticlockwise until the correct date is displayed.

Speedometer (depending on the model)

The speedometer is used to measure the speed of an object which is moving at a constant speed. Start the timing operation and stop it again once you have covered

a distance of 1 km. The chronograph hand then points at a numeral on the tachometric scale, indicating the speed in km/h.

NB:

Before each timing operation, the chronograph hands must be at their start points. If necessary, refer to

the

RESETTING THE COUNTERS paragraph.

Notes : All the timing functions are available with the crown pressed into position I.

On the Retrograde model, the "simple timing" function is no different from that on a standard chronograph, but

ADD function

The ADD function enables you to measure consecutive events without having to reset in between. Each time

is added to the previous total.

Care and maintenance

We would advise you to clean your chronograph regularly (except for the leather strap) using a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. After immersion in salt water,

rinse it in fresh water and leave it to dry completely.

Do not leave it anywhere subjected to high variations in temperature or humidity, direct sunlight or strong magnetic fields.

We would advise you to have your watch inspected every 3 to 4 years by an approved TISSOT

representative or retailer. To enjoy impeccable maintenance service

and ensure the guarantee remains valid, always consult an authorised TISSOT

representative or retailer.

TISSOT

quartz chronographs have the incomparable precision of quartz. Their power reserve is usually more than 2 years in continuous use. If you plan not to

wear your chronograph for several weeks or months, we would advise you to store it with the crown pulled out to position

III.

This cuts the electrical power supply

to the motor, thereby extending battery life considerably.

Replacing the battery

Once the battery has been drained, it must be replaced without delay by an approved TISSOT

representative or retailer.

Battery type: button-type zinc-silver oxide primary battery cell, 1.55 V Battery, No. 394, SR 936 SW.
