- Zeitaufteilung (falls zutreffend): Some models may offer a split time function. Consult the full Timex manual for advanced chronograph features.
3.2 INDIGLO Night-Light
Your Timex Expedition watch is equipped with the INDIGLO night-light feature, which illuminates the entire dial for easy reading in low-light conditions.
- Aktivieren: Press and hold the crown (or the main pusher button, depending on the model) to activate the INDIGLO night-light.

4. Pflege und Wartung
4.1 Reinigung Ihrer Uhr
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the strap, follow these guidelines:
- Leather/Fabric Straps: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a dry, soft cloth.
- Metal Bracelets: Can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then rinsed thoroughly and dried. Ensure the crown is pushed in before cleaning.
4.2 Wasserbeständigkeit
Your watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (164 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Do not operate the crown or pusher buttons when the watch is wet or submerged.
