ROLEX OYSTER DAY-DATE, NO QUICKSET
To change the time or date, or to wind the watch by hand, you must first unscrew the crown from
the case, then pull it until the required position is reached. Always perform these operations with the
watch in your hand and not on your wrist. When you are done, make sure the crown is screwed
down to the case again before you wear it.
Position 0 Wearing position
Crown fully screwed-down:
Only wear the watch when the crown is fully
screwed down to the case for it to be water and
dustproof. (although we would recommend to
prevent any contact with water. We do not
guarantee that the watch is waterproof.
Position 1 Hand winding position
Unscrew the winding crown
(downwards) till it is disengaged from
the screw thread:
For manually wound watches this position is
used to wind the watch by hand before you
wear it. (Don’t wind it while on the wrist!) To
ensure long power reserve (one full day) make
sure you wind the crown upwards fully till the
crown can’t go any further. This position can
also be used for automatic watches to give it a
boost of extra power, for example when the
watch hasn’t been worn for some time.
