Automatic Chronograph 3. NEW Triple Date 4. NEW Single-button Chronograph 5. Pulsemeter Scale 6. Tachymeter Scale 7. Telemeter Scale 8. Rotating Bezel 9. Caring for your BALL watch Automatic Watch X = normal position 0 = winding position 1 = date adjustment 2 = setting the time • Manual Winding: If the watch has not been worn for a long period of time, wind the movement before setting the time. Unscrew the crown to position 0, then turn the crown clockwise 20 to 30 times. • Time Setting: To set the time, unscrew the crown and pull out to position 2. Push the crown back into position X when the correct time is reached. When setting the time, please ensure that the date display is also set correctly. It should advance at midnight. If it advances at noon, you will need to turn the hands forward 12 hours. • Date Setting: After months with less than 31 days, you need to set the date to the first day of the next month. To do so, unscrew the crown and pull it out to position 1. Turn the crown clockwise to set date. On watches with Day function, turn the crown counterclockwise to set the Day. To prevent damage to the date- switching mechanism, we advise not to manually reset the date between 9pm and 3am. • Always remember to screw down the crown after adjustment, to ensure water resistance and prevent possible damage to the movement. Remarks: Automatic watches acquire their energy from an oscillating weight which is activated in response to the movements of your wrist. Depending on the model, the power reserve ranges from 36 to 48 hours. Manual winding is only necessary if the watch has not been worn for a long period of time, or if it has stopped. Depending on the type of movement, the accuracy of a mechanical movement may vary one to two minutes per week. Accuracy is strongly influenced by the way the watch is worn. Automatic Chronograph The crown has 3 positions: Position 1: Running position and manual winding Position 2: Correction of date and day Position 3: Time setting with stop-second 2 Push-buttons: Push-button at 2 o'clock: Start-stop of chronograph Push-button at 4 o'clock: Return to zero of chronograph Chronograph function: First ensure that the crown is in position 1 and that the chronograph hands are reset to zero. • P1. Upper start/stop control push-button This push-button enables you to start and stop the chronograph function. Pressing once starts the central second hand. As soon as the second hand has revolved once around the dial the minute hand is set into action. Pressing again stops these hands and a third push sets the chronograph function working again. • P2. Lower return-to-zero push-button After stopping the chronograph by pressing the upper control push-button P1, press the lower push-button P2 to reset the counters to zero. This push-button only functions when the counters are stopped. • Running second hand: Most Ball chronographs feature running seconds in the subdial at 9 o'clock. The Trainmaster Cannonball features running seconds at the unusual 3 o'clock position. • Chronograph second hand: Start and stop by pressing the upper push-button P1.

Reset to zero by pressing push-button P2. Triple Date The Triple Date function may also be known as the Month, Day, Date feature. The Trainmaster Racer and limited edition Trainmaster Doctor's Chronograph boast a new Ball in-house development, the linear Triple Date function. This feature shows the Month, Day and Date in a row at the 3 o'clock position for ease of use. To set the functions, unscrew the crown and pull it out to position 1. Turn the crown clockwise to set Date. To set the Day function, turn the crown counterclockwise. The Month function is set in the same manner as the Date. By rotating the Date through all 31 days, the Month wheel will move forward to the next Month. To prevent damage to the date-switching mechanism, we advise not to manually reset the Triple Date between 9pm and 3am.
