Instructions
6. Set the time
Gently turn the crown clockwise (or away from
you) until you set the correct time, with the
minute hand 1 minute ahead of the correct time.
Note the position of the second hand (in this
example at 35 seconds). Now check the
reference clock, and wait until the second count
reaches 35. Then immediately press the crown
back to the starting position. The watch will start
running again at the correct time.
7. Screw the crown back in
If applicable, screw the crown down to ensure it is pressurized and water-tight.
If you overshoot your desired time, do not turn the crown counter-clockwise to go
back. Turning the crown counter-clockwise will force and damage the watch’s
movement. Instead you will have to continue winding clockwise until you come back
around to the correct time again and repeat the time setting process as above.
Setting the date
To set the day and or date on your watch, first follow steps 1-3.
On most watches, the date changes automatically between 9 PM and 3 AM. To avoid
damaging the date gears when they are in motion it is aviseable to set the date outside this
time frame before 12.00 AM.
8. Set the time to 6.30
To make sure the watch changes the date between
9 PM and 3 AM, first set your watch to
6.30 following step 4-6.
9. Set the day-date to one day before today
