A-2TR STANDARD: Time Setting:

(Note:  A red crown clip may be on setting crown - please carefully remove.)

1

   Turn crown counter clock-wise to unscrew (see fig. 1 to the right). The crown is completely unscrewed 

when it turns freely. 

(Note: If crown is already in the out position or unscrewed, with second hand stopped, go to step 2.)

2

   Gently and carefully pull crown out to stop second hand. Do not pull too hard (fig. 2).

3

   Rotate the crown clock-wise advancing the hour and minute hands to set the desired time (fig. 3).

4

   Push crown in to re-start second hand (fig. 4).

5

   Push in again and turn crown clock-wise to engage threads. Continue to turn clockwise to firmly screw/

re-thread down crown. (A screwed down crown will prevent water damage to the movement.)  
Do not overtighten  (fig. 5).

Using The Rotating Bezel Ring:

Equipped with a solid titanium unidirectional rotating ring.

ELAPSED TIME 
 For simple quick method to measure up to 60 minutes... rotate the bezel ring counter clock-wise so that 
the red triangle (the 0 minute marker) aligns with the minute hand. As the minute hand moves as time 
passes, the time elapsed is shown on the outer ring minute markings where the minute hand has moved to. 

COUNTDOWN TIME 
Similar to the elapsed time is the countdown time. Instead of time increments going from zero to 60 
minutes, they go from 60 minutes to zero. This can be useful for pilots or military or police operations 
where synchronization is key and knowing when it’s time to go is critical. Set the desired time to match the 
minute hand and when it reaches zero (red triangle), you’d better be on the move.

COMPASS
The rotating bezel ring may be used to find the direction during daylight hours. Substitute the markings at 
“0”, “15”, “30”, and “45” for the directions North, East, South, and West respectively. See Illustrations to 
the right:

Note 1: For use during daylight hours only, readjust every hour.
Note 2:  For use during standard time, during Daylight Saving Time back the watch up an hour to account for this. 
Note 3: This is an approximate system, there is no substitute for a compass.

 

A - Point the Hour hand at the sun.
B -  Rotate the bezel ring until S (South / red 

triangle) is half way between the hour hand 
and 12:00.

C -  The correct directions are shown on the dial.

A - Point the Hour hand at the sun.

A-2TR GMT: Time & Date Setting:

(Note:  A red crown clip may be on setting crown - please carefully remove.)

1

   Turn crown counter clock-wise to unscrew (see fig. 1 to the right). The crown is completely unscrewed 

when it turns freely. (Note: If crown is already in the out position or unscrewed, with second hand 
stopped, go to step 2.)

2

   Gently and carefully pull crown to 1st position. You will feel a “click” (fig. 2). Do not pull too hard.

3

   Turn crown clock-wise to advance the date... continue to advance the date to yesterday’s date (fig. 3).

4

   Turn crown counter clock-wise to set the GMT/ 2nd time zone. Move 4th red arrow hand to hour on 

inner dial showing 2 through 24. (Note: 2nd time zone will utilize the same minute hand as primary time 
zone.) (fig. 4).

5

   Carefully pull the crown out further to 2nd position for a second “click” to set primary time. Rotate the 

crown clock-wise to advance the time past midnight and you will see the date advance to today’s date. 
Continue to advance to set the desired time. This will ensure the AM/PM is correct (fig. 5). Note: Date 
will need to be reset for months not ending with 31 days.

6

   Push crown in to re-start second hand (fig. 6).

7

   Push in again and turn crown clock-wise to engage threads. Continue to turn clockwise to firmly screw/

re-thread down crown. (A screwed down crown will prevent water damage to the movement.)  
Do not overtighten  (fig. 7).
