INITIAL SETUP Your new Aviator watch may have a small white plastic tag inserted between the crown and the case side. This is simply to prevent the mechanism running during storage and must be removed before use. Please dispose of it carefully. The main crown of your watch has three positions. When fully depressed (i.e. pushed in against the side of the case) it engages the watch movement and the watch will function normally. This is the default position. Pull the crown out slightly until it clicks. Turn the crown clockwise to set the date. Pull the crown out a little further until it clicks a second time. Turn the crown clockwise to set the time Push the crown fully in to the default position. The watch will now keep time.
USING THE WORLD TIME FUNCTION Combine the city name and 24hr marker to calculate the approximate time in another city For example: If you are in Dubai, the local time is 4am and you want to know the time in Rio: Convert the current time to 24hr format (e.g. 4am = 04:00) 1 Turn the bezel until the city name Dubai is against the 0400 on the outer (time) bezel Read the time from the outer bezel which appears opposite Rio, which should be 2100 (the previous day) Please note that local activities such as British Summer Time are not accounted for by the World Time Function
USING THE STOPWATCH FUNCTION Press button A to start or stop the stopwatch function. Pressing a second time will re-start the function from wherever it stopped Press button B once to pause the stopwatch and read a split time. Press again to restart the split time Pressing button B after pressing button A will reset the stopwatch hands to zero (all hands will wind forwards or backwards at speed until returned to zero) 1 Split Time The stopwatch can be paused in order to read a time, then restarted. The stopwatch will have kept timing so when button B is pressed again all hands will jump forward to show the combined running time 1/10 th second hand dial Note this only functions for one minute then stops at zero.
USING THE TACHYMETRE FUNCTION A tachymetere (tachymeter) is a means of converting elapsed time in seconds per (x) to (x) per hour. It is not specific to any unit of distance so can be used to measure speed in miles per hour; kilometres per hour; nautical miles per hour or even to measure the number of units manufactured per hour. It works by calculating speed based on the travel time over a fixed known distance (for example one mile or kilometre) Tachymetres by definition can only measure for a maximum of 60 seconds (one circuit of the dial) How to use a Tachymetre For example, to measure speed: Ensure you have a known fixed distance such as one mile Start the timer (stop watch) function crossing the start line Stop the timer function when crossing the one mile mark Look at where the second hand is pointing and read the number from the tachymetre dial to determine the speed Example One If you were to measure the time taken for a car to travel a fixed one mile distance and the timer ran for 45 seconds the second hand would be pointing at the 9 on the bezel. The number on the tachymetre dial opposite is 80 so the speed of the car would be 80mph Example Two Timing a runner in a 200m race The winner crossed the finishing line in 25 seconds so read the number from the tachymetre against the 25 second mark on the dial. This will be approximately 135. This obviously doesn t mean the runner managed 135km/h! The distance of measure was 200m or 1/5 of a kilometre so divide the 135 by 5 to give 27km/h as the speed
WATER RESISTANCE Water resistance is measured in ATM (atmospheres) with 1 ATM equalling 10 metres 3 ATM: everyday use but should not be immersed in water. The watch will withstand occasional splashing and rain but should be kept dry where possible and is not suitable for swimming 5 ATM: relatively short periods in water including gentle swimming 10 ATM: suitable for normal swimming but not diving of any kind Water resistance is tested in static conditions (i.e. no movement) at the time of manufacture. As time goes on the seals may deteriorate and/or the use of the watch may weaken the resistance. For example continual exposure to chlorine, salt or strong soaps may decrease the effectiveness of the seal by drying it out or causing it to become brittle. Using a watch in a hot tub, sauna, bath or shower may cause the seals to expand, compromising the water resistance or causing complete failure of the watch. Sudden or significant variations in temperature may cause materials in a watch to contract, allowing water (most likely in the form of condensation), into your watch. As an example, even a 10ATM watch worn in a hot bath or in the desert sun might experience condensation if plunged straight into a cold swimming pool. Constant contact with perspiration or cosmetics may affect the seal, as can sharp knocks Never use the crown, the chronograph pushers, or a rotating dial when your watch is under water
