YOUR WATCH IS EQUIPPED WITH EITHER A SCREW DOWN CROWN
(PICTURED) OR A STANDARD CROWN (PAGE 10).

ABOUT THE SCREW-DOWN CROWN
Specific models feature a screw-down crown; this component helps prevent
moisture infiltration. Always be certain that your crown is completely screwed
down before entering any environment or before undertaking any activities
where moisture is present. Never unscrew your crown while in any environment
where moisture is present.
T S O V E T. C O M

OPERATING THE SCREW-DOWN CROWN
In order to pull the crown out to the first or second locking position, it must first
be unscrewed.
To open the crown, simply turn the crown counter-clockwise 4 to 5 turns.
To close the crown and screw it down, push it in while turning clockwise; lightly
finger-tighten the crown. BE SURE TO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE CROWN!
The precision threading of your TSOVET screw-down crown, in part, provides
effective moisture resistance. By over tightening the crown, the materials and
related components (seals & gaskets) can be damaged, resulting in reduced
moisture resistance.

CROWN POSITIONS
The TSOVET screw-down crown has four positions:
One: Screwed down (closed): The crown of your watch is ready to wear and
is moisture resistant.
Two: Unscrewed (open): The crown of your watch is unscrewed and is not moisture resistant.
Three:Unscrewed, with crown pulled out to the first notch (open): to set
the hour hand. The crown of your watch is unscrewed and is not
moisture resistant.
Four: Unscrewed, with crown pulled out to the second notch (open): to set
the date. The crown of your watch is unscrewed and is not moisture
or resistant.

DIVERS SCALE
Located on the turning bezel of the SVT-DW44 dive watch.
Unidirectional Rotating Bezel: The most important feature of any divers watch
and an essential part of every divers equipment is the diving ring. This is a
rotating bezel around the dial or the crystal. It is divided into minutes and often
has a triangular fluorescent marking at 12. Before divers take to the water, they
have calculated the time they can spend under water. The diving time depends
on the depth and the amount of oxygen taken down. When a diver has 45
minutes of air and enters the water at 14:00 hours, the triangular marking has
to be set 45 minutes later, in this case at 14:45. The minute hand has a similar
triangle as the diving ring. When both markings meet it is time to surface
because air is running out.
TACHOMETER
Specific models feature a Tachometer, or Tachymeter, which is simply a function
on a watch that allows the user to measure speed.
A Tachometer is a feature found on some chronograph watches that measures
the speed at which the wearer has traveled over a measured distance. In
matchmaking, it is a timer or chronograph with a graduated dial on which speed
can be read off in kilometers per hour or other units of distance.

WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:
Internal or external damage resulting from an unscrewed crown, accidents,
mishandling or abusive use (i.e., knocks, dents, crushing, contact with
moisture—including, but not limited to, “hot tubs,” “jacuzzis,” or “saunas,” etc.),
or the consequences of normal wear and aging of the watch (i.e., scratches
and abrasions to the crystal, case, metal band, buckle, leather); unauthorized
alterations, tampering, manipulation, mistreatment, or modification through the
addition or substitution of parts or accessories not supplied by TSOVET; repairs
made by unqualified third-parties or non- warranted dealers; and the use of
batteries other than those prescribed by TSOVET.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
TSOVET strongly recommends against introducing your watch to environments
where both heat and moisture are present (e.g., “hot tubs,” “jacuzzis”, or
“saunas”). The combination of heat and moisture can adversely affect the seals
and gaskets in your watch. If your crown is not closed properly, water will
penetrate the case. Failing to adhere to the aforementioned precaution voids
your warranty.
