HOW TO START YOUR WATCH

(Does not apply to Perpetual Calendar models.) To start

your watch remove the plastic guard from under the

crown, then press the crown in against the case.

Some watches require the setting crown to be screwed

in. If your watch case has a protrusion with screw

threads, the crown must be screwed in after setting the

watch.

To screw in, push the crown ﬁrmly against the threaded

protrusion and hold in while turning the crown clockwise.

Continue to screw in the crown until it is tight. You will

need to unscrew the crown (counter-clockwise) before

pulling it out the next time you want to set your watch.

Welcome to the world of Timex®watches with

Intelligent Quartz™ technology, the future of quartz

analogue technology. Intelligent Quartz technology

brings the power of a micro-processor to the reliability

and accuracy of quartz analogue timekeeping. With Timex

Intelligent Quartz watches, the technology is written into

the design, delivering a new level of dial complication.

Uses up to three additional independent hands to display

an array of information, normally only available in digital

watches, in a traditional analogue format.

WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO

NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS UNDER WATER UNLESS

YOUR WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-

RESISTANT. NEVER PULL OUT THE CROWN WHILE

UNDER WATER.

1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal, crown

and case remain intact.

2. Watch is not a certiﬁed Diver’s watch.

3. Rinse watch with fresh water after exposure to salt

water.

4. Shock-resistance will be indicated on the watch face

or caseback. Watches are designed to pass ISO test for

shock-resistance. However, care should be taken to

avoid damaging the crystal.

WATER AND SHOCK RESISTANCE

If your watch is water-resistant, meter marking (WR_M)

is indicated.

To view the offset, pull the crown to its middle position.

The date hand shows the offset: 1 = 1 year after leap

year; 2 = 2 years after leap year; 3 = 3 years after leap

year; 4 = leap year. Push the crown in when done and

the hands resume their normal display of day, month,

and date.

INTRODUCTION

With your watch’s perpetual calendar feature, the

date does not need adjustment until 2100. The watch

automatically accounts for short months and leap years,

always showing the correct day and date. The day and date

were preset at the Timex factory. You only need to adjust

the time. The watch has two recessed push buttons for

use by Timex Service Center to set the day and date after

battery replacement. They have no use otherwise.

LEAP YEAR OFFSET

To maintain the correct date, the watch includes a setting

for the current leap year offset. This setting is made at the

Timex factory or after battery replacement and cannot be

changed, only viewed.

4TH CENTER HAND ADJUSTMENT

To readjust a misaligned 4th center hand:

1. Pull the crown to its outer position. The upper and

lower hands reset to the ends of their sweeps

5 seconds of pulling the crown to its outer position the

4th center hand does not point to 12 o’clock, press

Button A or B to move the hand counterclockwise or

clockwise until it points to 12 o’clock.

3. Push crown to closed position when ﬁnished.
