PERFECT DATE
With your watch’s Perfect Date
™
feature, the date does
not need adjustment until 2060. The watch automatically
accounts for short months and leap years, and will always
display the correct date upon demand. The date was
preset at the Timex factory. When initially starting your
new watch, if the date displays the date before or behind
the date in your location, you will need to revise the date
for your local date. Pull the crown out to the outer position.
The 4th center hand will rotate around the dial one revolu-
tion, will stop at 12:00 o’clock position for about 5 seconds
and then move to the date at which the watch is currently
set. Rotate the crown forward to increase the time to the
current date (backward to decrease the time to the current
date). Each time you pass midnight the date will change
by one day. After you have set the date to your local date,
continue rotating the crown to position the hands to the
current local time, being mindful of am/pm. Once the time
is set, push the crown back in to the closed position. In
normal operation the 4th center hand will display the date
when the crown is pushed. The hand will travel to the
position of the current date as shown on the top ring of
the case. The hand will pause for you to be able to read
the date and then return back to the 12 o’clock resting
position. Please note that the Perfect Date
™
function
will only operate in the Time mode. When the battery is
depleted and is replaced, the Perfect Date function must
be recalibrated. When the battery requires replacement,
it is highly recommended the watch be sent to a Timex
service center, where the battery will be replaced and the
Perfect Date function will be recalibrated to the current
date for the location where the watch is to be returned.
