  • Welcome to the Speedmaster Video Manual.

  • Positioned on the side of the watch is the crown,

  • which is used for setting the time and winding the watch.

  • A single full winding per day

  • is all that's needed for the watch to function properly.

  • To wind the watch,

  • turn the crown forward until it stops.

  • To set the time,

  • pull the crown out one click to its furthest position.

  • Turn the crown forward or backward

  • to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.

  • When the settings are completed,

  • make sure the crown is in position 1.

  • The chronograph is used for measuring time periods

  • of up to 12 hours.

  • To start or stop timing,

  • press the upper pusher located at 2 o'clock.

  • To reset the chronograph hands,

  • press the lower pusher located at 4 o'clock.

  • For ease of reading in low-light conditions,

  • the watch's hands and applied indexes

  • are coated with Super-LumiNova

  • which emits a green light.

  • The average speed of a moving object

  • can be measured with your Speedmaster

  • by using the central chronograph hand

  • in conjunction with the watch's tachymetric scale.

  • For example the speed of a car

  • can be measured over a set distance of 1 kilometre.

  • Press the upper pusher located at 2 o'clock

  • to start the measurement.

  • When the car has reached a distance of 1 kilometre,

  • press the pusher again to stop the measurement,

  • and read the value on the bezel's scale.

  • In our case the car has covered the distance in 30 seconds.

  • Therefore

  • it's traveling at an average speed of 120 kilometres per hour.

  • Thank you for watching this video manual.

  • We hope you enjoy your Speedmaster.
