How to use the compass (Only for models with the
compass bezel (ring))
•
Please use the compass in places where the sun is visible or its location is known.
* The compass is so designed to provide only a rough indication of directions, and should not be used where accuracy is critical.
■ Using the 24-hour hand
•
Before using the compass, it is necessary to set the 24-hour hand to the current time of your area.
•
If daylight saving time (summer time) is in effect in your area, be sure to set your watch one hour behind the
current time before using the rotating compass.
●
In the Northern Hemisphere
* In low latitude areas (south of the Tropic of Cancer), the compass
may not function properly at certain times of the year.

Set “N (North)” on the rotating compass
bezel (ring) to the 12 o’clock marker.
* “N” may be another mark.
* In the case of a ring, it may have a crown, etc. for
operation.

While keeping the dial level, point the
24-hour hand in the direction of the
sun.
The direction marks on the rotating compass indicate
the corresponding directions.
