Enhanced Features and Functions Guide
This booklet contains instructions for using additional functions (mainly on the model
with the exterior rotating bezel). Use these instructions in addition to the instructions for
standard operation in the main operating manual. Some models have multiple functions.
There may be some discrepancy between the illustrations shown and the appearance of
your watch, however the method of operation will remain the same.

1. How to use the Tachymeter
The most common use of a tachymeter is for
measuring the approximate speed of a
vehicle over a known distance.
e.g.) Based on how many seconds it takes a
vehicle to travel 1km or 1 mile (the available
measuring range is up to 60 seconds), the
average speed within the distance can be
calculated.
Start the chronograph when the vehicles commences travel.1)
After the vehicle has travelled 1 km/1mile, stop the chronograph.2)
The approximate average speed within the distance can be determined
by observing the present position of the second hand and reading the outer bezel.
Note: The tachymeter indications may appear on dial ring, rather than on the outer
bezel (depending on model).
As shown in the illustration, it takes the vehicle 45 seconds to travel 1km or 1mi so
the approximate average speed is 80kph (50 mph).
Second hand
2. How to use the watch as a Compass
(Northern Hemisphere for instance)
The approximate direction can be
determined by comparing the position of
the hour hand to the sun. Keep in mind
that these determinations are approximate
as there is some discrepancy at different
latitudes and in different seasons.
Lay the watch horizontally and align the hour
hand of the watch with the direction of the sun.
The middle point between the alignment of the
sun with the hour hand, and the 12 o’clock
position on the dial, approximately indicates
South.
Positioning the rotating bezel so that it points south, will then allow you to read other
approximate compass directions.

3. How to use the Rotating Bezel to
measure time
<To check the elapsed time>
Align the zero mark “1) ” of the
rotating bezel with the position of the
minute hand.
Then, read the scale above the rotating2)
bezel, to which the minute hand points
so as to gure out the elapsed time.
As shown in the illustration, the
elapsed time is 10 minutes. Minute hand
Time

<To check the remaining time>
Set the “” mark to the scheduled time.
You can now see the amount of time that•
remains until the scheduled point.
Note: The rotating bezel of Divers
watches conforming to ISO or JIS
standards, can only be rotated
counterclockwise in order to
reduce the risk of error. Remaining

Note: In some models, the inner and outer scales are opposite. Be sure to make the
appropriate substitutions to the following instructions.
Simple Calculations4-1.
[How to do multiplication]
Q : 20 × 15
A : Adjust 20 of the outer scale until it points to 10 of the inner scale.
You can read the digit 30 from of the scale of the outer scale corresponding to 15 of
the inner scale and adding a unit, you can get the answer 300.

English
[How to do division]
Q : 250 ÷ 20
A : Adjust 25 of the outer scale until it points to 20 of the inner scale.
You can read the digit 12.5 from of the scale of the outer scale corresponding to 10
of the inner scale and get the answer 12.5.
[How to calculate ratios]
Q : 30/20 = 60/A
A : Adjust 30 of the outer scale until it points to 20 of the inner scale.
You can read the digit 40 from of the scale of the inner scale corresponding to 60 of
the outer scale and on all the positions above the scale, the ratio between “inner and
outer” is the ratio between “30 and 20”. Therefore, you can determine the answers of
other ratios.

[How to convert volume between different units of measurement]
You can convert fuel between Pounds (lbs), U.S Gallons, Imperial Gallons or Liters.
Q : How much is 13.1 lbs of fuel if
it is converted into U.S.Gallons,
Imperial Gallons and Litres
respectively?
(1 FUEL.LBS is 0.167
U.S.GAL / 0.139 IMP.GAL /
0.632 Liters)
A : Adjust the “” of FUEL.LBS.
of the outer scale until it points
to the digit 13.1, which you want to convert, of the inner scale.
Read the digit corresponding to the “” of U.S.GAL of the outer scale.
Adding a unit and you will get the answer which is 2.18 U.S.GAL.
Similarly, read the digit corresponding to the “” of IMP.GAL., LITERS., you can
get the answers, which are 1.82 IMP.GAL and 8.28 Liters.
