Line up the number representing the wind direction (in degrees) in the bezel with the triangle () mark at 12 o'clock (eg. The course bearing from the windward mark to the wind mark (starboard reach) is read off the bezel, in degrees, at the green triangle () on the bottom left side of the dial. The course bearing from the wind mark to the leeward mark (port reach) is read off the bezel, in degrees, at the red triangle () on the bottom right side of the dial. When sailing from the windward mark to the leeward mark, the small white triangle at the bottom of the watch dial becomes the reference point for determining course bearings. Note that the above explanation is only valid for times when the ø angle is 45°. At 60°, use the values lying above the red and green triangle, and at 30° the values lying below the two triangles. Using the rotating bezel (2) Most present-day yachts are capable of sailing at 45° to the wind. To be in a position to be able to read the wind shift after the start of a race, make several runs before the race matching your course as close as possible to the red (or green) bars on the left (or right) upper portion of the watch face. Using the rotating bezel (3) By using the rotating bezel in the following way you can determine the angle between the start/finish and the direction from which the wind is blowing. The start/finish line is usually set at a right angle to the direction of the wing, but because the wind is always shifting direction, a true 90° angle is rarely encountered. In this case, line up the white triangle at the 12:00 position on the watch with the direction from which the wind is blowing. Sail from one end of the start/finish line to the other, using the white lines marked (at 3:00 or 9:00) on the watch to the white line, you are on a favourable heading to start the race when you cross the start/finish line. If the course steered falls to the minus (­) side of the white line on the watch, you know it is favourable to cross the start/finish on a heading from the opposite direction. * Use any one or a combination of the three methods described above to help you manoeuvre your boat into and maintain the position you feel is the most advantageous during a race. 3. Conversion of km/naut/mile · Calculation results should only be used as approximate indicators. Turn the rotating ring and see how many kilometres or knots one mile will correspond to. Set the mile (or STAT = stature mile) to the 10 mark and look at the figure lying below the km . The figure located under the naut (or knot = nautical mile) is the equivalent in nauts (= 0. 86). Water Resistance Check the chart to determine the water resistant properties of this watch. WATER RESIST may sometimes be the abbreviation of WATER RESISTANT. Do not operate any of the buttons when the watch is wet. Avoid extreme temperatures Avoid leaving your watch in extremely warm or cold locations for long periods of time. [. . . ] When there are sudden temperature changes such as entering a cool building from the hot out of doors, or jumping into pool on a hot day the watch may fog. Conversely, if you go to the cold outdoors from a warm building, fogging may occur. As long as the fogging clears in a short period of time, there is no need for concern. Be sure the crown is completely pushed in prior to any contact with moisture. [. . . ]
