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.

NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS UNDER WATER UNLESS 
YOUR WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-
RESISTANT. NEVER PULL OUT THE CROWN WHILE 
UNDER WATER.

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

lightly until you feel it click into the middle position.
To set the date and time:

correct time is shown. Ensure AM/PM setting is correct by 
verifying that the date changes at midnight, not noon.

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.
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.

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.FLY-BACK CHRONOGRAPHOVERVIEW
