Setting the Date
• This watch is provided with a perpetual calendar function. Once it is set, the year, month and
date change automatically, including leap years.
1. When the crown is pulled out to the first click (calendar correction position), the second hand
moves to the year and month position stored in memory and stops.
2. Turn the crown and set the date.
q 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. Turning the crown
continuously causes the second hand to advance 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).
w The date is advanced by one day if the crown is turned to the left.
• Turning the crown continuously causes the date to be advanced continuously. Turn the
crown to either the left or right to stop the date from advancing continuously.
3. Always make sure to return the crown to the normal position after setting the date.
The second hand advances to the current seconds and the hands begin to move.
