* To carry out the procedure, please make sure that the watch is in working state. Please wind the mainspring when
the watch is not working.
2 Pull out the crown to the first click. The seconds hand continues moving. * For models with screw down crown,
please unlock the crown before operating it.
Date setting
The date is linked to the time and changes once every 24 hours, whether the watch is running or the crown is used to
adjust the time. When the time is advanced across a day, the date is also advanced, and when the time is set back
across a day, the date is also set back.
When the watch is running, the date changes at around midnight (between 11:45 PM and 0:30 AM).
When the crown is used to adjust the time, the date changes between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM of the next
day, although the timing differs for advancing and setting back the date. The date will then change at around
midnight (between 11:45 PM and 0:30 AM) when the watch is running normally.
When setting the time between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM the next day
When setting the time between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM the next day, first set the time back before 9:00 PM (or
ahead of 3:00 AM) and make sure that the date is correct before setting the time.
When the time is advanced or set back to between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM the next day, the date may not
change at around midnight. However, the date will change to the day after the date at 9:00 PM (i.e., the date at
3:00 AM) after 3:00 AM. Also, when the watch is running, the timing at which the date changes will return to the
normal timing.
3 Turn the crown to set the date and day. Turn the crown to rotate the hour hand. Each time the hour hand makes
two full rotations, the date is adjusted one day.
Turn the crown counterclockwise: the date is advanced one day.
The crown can be turned in either direction, however, it is
recommended that you turn the crown in the direction which enables you to set the date with smaller
adjustments.
Turn the crown slowly, checking that the hour hand moves in one-hour increments.
When adjusting the hour hand, the other hands may move slightly. However, this is not a malfunction.
Turn the crown clockwise: the date is set back one day. To move the date back one day
4 Turn the crown to set the hour hand to the current time.
Please set it while making sure that AM/PM is set correctly. The moment the date changes is midnight. * When you
set the time to any time between 9:00 PM and midnight, by turning the hour hand counterclockwise passing
midnight, move the hour hand back to 8:00 PM, and then carry out the setting. (It is an operation to move the date
back.)
5 Push the crown back in to the normal position.
* For models with screw down crown, please be sure to lock the crown after operating it.
