 Crafted For Life
Delémont, Switzerland 1893
Over a century ago, Wenger built a factory in this tiny Swiss village and trans-
formed it into production headquarters for the Genuine Swiss Army Knife™ still
used by the Swiss Army today. As it was 100 years ago, each tool, implement
and knife manufactured by Wenger is crafted by hand in solid stainless steel
and each individually inspected for quality and craftsmanship. This same atten-
tion to detail has been applied to genuine Wenger watches. Wenger watches
are Swiss-designed, -engineered and -crafted with only the most accurate Swiss
movement available. Each watch is constructed with form and function that last
a lifetime. As with the genuine Swiss Army knife, Wenger watches are durable,
high quality, and versatile enough for use on any occasion. Wenger watches are
engineered to provide the same resourcefulness as the genuine Swiss Army
knife, supplying functionality beyond the everyday.

Setting the Time and Date on Standard Watches
(see Table of Contents on p.1 for other watches)
Important note: If the crown of your watch does not pull directly out or if your
watch is water-resistant to 200m, then you may have a watch with a screw-
down crown. Rotate the crown counterclockwise until the crown moves away
from the watch. This will set the crown in Position 1. Always screw down the
crown after making any adjustments. This is very important as the screw-down
crown assures water resistance.

1. Pull out the crown to Position 2 (one “click” out). Rotate crown counterclock-
wise until the date shows one day earlier than the date you want to set.
2. Pull out the crown to Position 3 (two “clicks” out). Rotate crown so the watch
hands move clockwise until the current date shows. Then set the watch
hands to the correct time. Turn the watch hands past 12 once if you’re set-
ting the watch for a P.M. time. Push the crown back to Position 1.

Operating the Compass
One of the most useful and interesting features of your G3 Navigator is the
patented flip-open case that reveals a compass. Operating the compass is very
simple (see diagrams on page 15):
1. Unscrew inner crown by rotating in a counter-clockwise position until
crown resists.
2. Once the inner crown is unscrewed, flip open the case by lifting the crown up.
4. Your compass will adjust to accurately reflect orientation within 30 seconds;
the arrow may undergo some movement during this period.
5. Once still, the red arrow will be pointing North. Gripping the coin-edge
around the exterior of the compass window, simply rotate the compass face
until the North indicator (red “N”) is directly under the tip of the red arrow.
Allow another 10 seconds for the arrow to adjust to the movement.
6. Your compass now accurately reflects your orientation.
