3.1 Nastavitev časa
- Izvlecite krono v položaj 2 (najdaljši položaj). Sekundarni kazalec se bo ustavil.
- Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set by observing the 24-hour sub-dial.
- Push the crown back to position 0 (normal position) to start the watch.
3.2 Nastavitev datuma
- Izvlecite krono v položaj 1 (prvi klik).
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the date change mechanism.
- Potisnite krono nazaj v položaj 0 (normalni položaj).
3.3 Ponastavitev kazalca kronografa na ničlo
If the chronograph hands (seconds, minutes) do not return to the zero position after resetting, they may need to be calibrated:
- Izvlecite krono v položaj 2.
- Večkrat pritisnite potisni gumb A (zgornji potisni gumb), da premaknete sekundni kazalec kronografa v položaj 12. ure.
- Večkrat pritisnite potisni gumb B (spodnji potisni gumb), da premaknete minutni kazalec kronografa v položaj 12. ure.
- Once all chronograph hands are aligned to zero, push the crown back to position 0.
4. Navodila za uporabo
4.1 Uporaba kronografa
Funkcija kronografa vam omogoča merjenje pretečenega časa.
- Začetek: Pritisnite potisni gumb A, da zaženete kronograf. Sekundarni kazalec kronografa se bo začel premikati.
- Ustavite: Za ustavitev kronografa ponovno pritisnite potisni gumb A. Kazalci kronografa bodo prikazali pretečeni čas.
- Ponastaviti: After stopping, press pusher B to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4.2 Using the Tachymeter
The tachymeter scale on the bezel can be used to measure speed over a known distance (e.g., 1 kilometer or 1 mile).
- Kronograf zaženite na začetku izmerjene razdalje.
- Stop the chronograph when you reach the end of the distance.
- The position of the chronograph second hand on the tachymeter scale indicates the average speed per hour. For example, if it takes 30 seconds to cover 1 unit of distance, the hand will point to 120 on the tachymeter scale, indicating a speed of 120 units per hour.
4.3 24-Hour Display
The small sub-dial typically located at the 3 o'clock position indicates the time in a 24-hour format, which is useful for distinguishing between AM and PM when setting the main time.
4.4 Luminous Features
Slika: The Bulova 98B428 watch dial in darkness, showing the luminous hands and hour markers glowing brightly for visibility.
The hands and hour markers of your Bulova 98B428 watch are treated with a luminous material. After exposure to light, these elements will glow in the dark, providing visibility in low-light conditions. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the exposure time and intensity of light.
