ROLEX OYSTER DAY-DATE, 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.
