OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ROTATING RATCHETED TIMING BEZEL

  • If your Roots watch is equipped with a rotating bezel, this bezel functions as a one-hour timer. To use, rotate the bezel counter-clockwise until the zero mark (a dot, a V, or 60) on the bezel lines up with the minute hand. As the minute hand moves, you will be able to track the elapsed time of your activity.
  • Do not rotate the bezel clockwise.

SCREW DOWN CROWN

  • Some watches are equipped with a screw down crown.
  • To set the analog time, the crown must be unscrewed counter-clockwise or towards you before the time can be set. After setting, push in the crown and re-screw into the case clockwise or away from you.
  • Note that water resistance cannot be ensured unless the crown has been re-screwed.

TACHYMETER

  • A tachymeter measures the speed at which the wearer has traveled over a measured distance, i.e. a measured mile/kilometer on the highway. For example, start the chronograph when you pass the starting point and stop it when you pass the finish. You can then read your speed in units per hour off the tachymeter scale.
