Khaki X-Wind Automatic Chronograph & Automatic

The mechanism of the watch includes an oscillating rotor that winds the mainspring via the motion of your wrist. If

necessary, the movement may be rewound manually by turning the crown

clockwise 30 times in position (p1).

Adjustments

Adjustment of the date and/or the day

1. Unscrew the crown Cand pull it out to position

(p2).

2. According to the model, turn the crown clockwise

or counterclockwise to adjust to the desired date

and/or day.

3. Push the crown back in and screw it down.

Remark concerning the Automatic Chronograph

model: Please do not adjust the date or the day be-

tween 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. (20:00 and 02:00).

Adjustment of hours and minutes

1. Unscrew the crown Cand pull it out to position

(p3).

2. Turn the crown to adjust to the desired time in hours

and minutes.

3. Push the crown back in: the seconds hand will

restart.

4. Push the crown back in and screw it down.

Adjustment of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)*

1. Unscrew the crown Cand pull it out to position

(p3).

2. Press button

to advance the GMT 24-hour hand,

or button

to move it backwards. At each press,

the hand advances or goes backwards by 15

minutes. A long press causes rapid rotation of the

hand.

3. Push the crown back in and screw it down.

* Only on the Quartz Chronograph GMT model

Adjustment of the counter hands*

After a battery change or a violent shock, it is possi-

ble that one or more counter hands or a disk are no

longer exactly at zero or aligned. If this is the case,

proceed as follows to adjust them:

1. Unscrew the crown Cand pull it out to position

(p2): the 60-second counter hand will rotate 360°.

2. Press button Bto reset the 60-second counter

hand to zero. At each press, the hand advances

by 1 second. A long press causes rapid rotation of

the hand.

3. Press button

to proceed to adjustment of the

minutes and hours counter.

4. Press button Bto reset the counter hands to zero.

At each press, the hand advances by 1 minute.

A long press causes rapid rotation of the hands.

5. Push the crown back in and screw it down.

* Only on the Quartz Chronograph GMT model

IMPORTANT: In order to ensure the water-resistance of

your watch, always screw the crown back down to

position (p0) after any manipulation of it.

> Read 1st intermediate time

Button B: Restart with catch-up of elapsed time

Button B: Intermediate stop

> Read 2nd intermediate time

And so on...

Finally, press button

to stop the timing and read

the total time.

Button B: Reset to zero

* Only on the Quartz Chronograph GMT model

Crosswind functions

The Khaki X-Wind models are equipped with a calcu-

lator of angle of drift, which allows pilots to determine

the bearing corrections to apply in case of crosswind.

Remark: It is necessary to unscrew crowns

and

in order to carry out the procedure described below.

Procedure

1. Position the arrow of the

upper interior rotating bezel at

12 o’clock by adjusting with

crown D.

2. Adjust the lower interior rotat-

ing bezel to 0° by adjusting with

crown E.

3. Obtain wind speed and di-

rection from control tower or

weather chart.

Ex. Wind speed: 40 mph

Wind direction: 70°

4. Indicate wind direction (70)

in the window with the upper in-

terior rotating bezel by adjusting

with crown D.

5. Adjust the exterior rotating

bezel so that one tenth of the

speed of the aircraft is indicated

opposite the arrow .

Ex. Aircraft speed:

180 mph – indicate 18.

M044 - INSTRUCTION MANUAL 5

6. From the geographical bearing, calculate the magnetic bearing of the aircraft: The variation (Var) depends

on the current location, which can be determined from an aviation chart.

Ex. Geographical bearing: 30°

Variation (Var): 10°

Magnetic bearing: 30° + 10° = 40°

Tn: True North | Mn: Magnetic North | Var: Variation

If the variation (Var) is to the West, it is added to

the geographical bearing to obtain the magnetic

bearing. Ex. 30° + 10° = 40°

If the variation (Var) is to the East, it is subtracted from

the geographical bearing to obtain the magnetic

bearing. Ex. 30° – 15° = 15°

7. Calculation of crosswind angle.

Ex. Wind direction: 70°

Magnetic bearing of aircraft: 40°

Crosswind angle: 70° – 40° = 30° (headwind)

70° – 40° = 30°

(Headwind)

180° – (330° - 220°) = 70°

(Tailwind)

360° – (330° - 40°) = 70°

(Headwind)

8. Calculation of crosswind:

Using the graph (engraved on the case back) de-

termine the point of intersection of the wind speed

(head/tailwind component) and the crosswind angle.

Going from the point of intersection, read the value

of the crosswind component on the horizontal axis.

Ex. Headwind component: 40 mph

Crosswind angle: 30°

Crosswind component: 20 mph

9. Calculate the angle of drift:

Locate the crosswind component (20) on the exterior

rotating bezel and read the value indicated on the

interior bezel.

Ex. Angle of drift: approx. 6.5°

10.Calculation of corrected bearing:

If the wind is blowing from the right, add the angle of

drift to the magnetic bearing.

If the wind is blowing from the left, subtract the angle

of drift from the magnetic bearing.

Ex. Corrected bearing: 40° + 6.5° = 46.5°

For memorization, use the

crown Eto indicate the cor-

rected bearing (46.5) on the

lower interior rotating bezel.

IMPORTANT: In order to ensure

the water-resistance of your watch, always screw the

crowns back in after any manipulation of them.
