Tachymeter Usage
T
T
The Tachymeter function is used to measure the rate of speed of an
object over a fixed distance. The scale, located either on the top ring or
the inside bezel of the timepiece, will display speed in Miles, Knots, or
Kilometers per hour.
Example of usage: In a driving race, the car
passes the first mile (km) post when the
seconds hand is at the 12:00 position (60
second mark). Commence measurement.
At the 35 second mark the car passes the
second mile (km) post, you will see that the
car travelled a distance of one mile at 100
miles (km) an hour.
Automatic Winding Movement
A timepiece fitted with an automatic winding movement obtains the
power to wind itself by the movement of your wrist. It is important that
your timepiece is adjusted to match the size of your wrist. A loose fit
may result in a loss in capacity of the timepiece to wind itself. When
fully wound, your timepiece has a power-reserve of approximately 42
hours. If the timepiece has not been worn for over 42 hours it is advised
that it be manually wound to ensure necessary power-reserve.
18
Water Resistance
All Zodiac timepieces are designed with a minimum water-
resistance rating of 3ATM (100ft/30m).
The water-resistance of a timepiece protects the movement
from, dust, moisture, and risk of damage to the movement
should it be immersed in water.
Please see chart for guidelines for recommended exposure of
various water ratings.
It is important not to attempt to adjust the position of the
crown while the timepiece is in contact with water. Water can
enter the case causing damage to the movement.
For timepieces with screw-down crowns, it is important to
ensure the crown is in the proper position and completely
locked before contact with water.
For timepieces with chronograph functions, do not engage
the chronograph under water, as water may leak in the case
and cause damage to the movement.

Care and Precautions
Each Zodiac timepiece is designed and manufactured to exceed the
highest of standards. Unlike most other mechanical objects, a watch
operates non-stop. In order to ensure optimal performance and longevity
from your timepiece, please review the simple guidelines for care and
precautions of your new Zodiac timepiece.
Care
Your timepiece should be cleaned with a soft cloth and water only. Do
not submerge your timepiece. Your timepiece should be rinsed clean and
dried with a soft cloth after any saltwater use. In order to maintain the
“new look” of metal bracelets, we recommend periodic cleanings of the
bracelet. Dip a soft brush in warm soapy water and gently rub bracelet
clean. We advise having your timepiece serviced every 18-24 months to
ensure long use and trouble free operation.
Precautions
Your timepiece is a complex integration of parts and components
brought together by skilled craftsmen. There are certain actions or
environmental situations that may damage or impede your timepiece’s
ability to perform optimally.
It is important to avoid the following conditions: extreme heat or cold,
as well as prolonged periods of exposure to direct sunlight, exposure to
wet conditions that exceed your timepieces’s water rating (see case back
and chart). Never operate any of the function buttons or crown when
timepiece is in contact with water.
Your timepiece should not be affected by magnetic fields generated by
household items such as televisions and stereos, but avoidance of other
strong electric fields or static electricity, which may interrupt mechanism,
is suggested. It is also important to avoid extreme shock or impact.
