<Correcting Elapsed Number of Years and Month>
When the crown is pulled out to the 1st click, the second hand switches to display
of the number of years that elapsed since the most recent leap year and the month.
1. When the crown is pulled out to the 1st click, the second hand moves to the
year and month position stored in memory and stops.
2. Turn the crown and set the year and date.
1. 1.Turn the crown to the right to set the second hand to the position
corresponding to the year (number of years elapsed since the most recent
leap year) and month.
2. 2.When the crown is turned to the left, the second hand moves backward.
• Turning the crown continuously causes the second hand to advance rapidly.
Turn the crown to the right or left to stop the second hand from advancing
rapidly.
Examples:
• In the case of December in a leap year: Align the second hand at 0 seconds.
• In the case of April in a year that is three years after the most recent
leap year: Align the second hand at 23 seconds (between 4:00 and 5:00).
3. Always make sure to return the crown to the normal position after correcting
the years and month. The second hand catches up to the current seconds and the
hands begin to move.
[When the Date has been Set to a Date that does not Exist]
When the month has been changed and the data has been set to a date that does not
exist after setting the date, the date automatically changes to the first day of the
following month when the crown is returned to the normal position from the
correction state.
