CROWN
➠
➠
Pull out to second click when Second hand
is at the 12 o’clock position.
▼
Turn in either direction to set the time and
date.
▼
Push back completely in accordance with
a time signal.
1. The date changes between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. while the watch is in operation or when advancing
the hands by turning the crown clockwise, and between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. when moving the
hands back by turning the crown counterclockwise. Therefore, note the following.
[AM/PM checking]
When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
*When setting the time by advancing the hands, turn the hour hand past the 1 o’clock marker. If the date
advances, the time is set for the AM period. If it does not change, the time is set for the PM period.
*When setting the time by turning back the hands, turn the hour hand past the 9 o’clock marker. If the
date moves back, the time is set for the PM period. If it does not change, the time is set for the AM
period.
2. When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back
to the exact time.
● Follow the procedures below to check the calendar, and if necessary, to adjust it.
● Do not check and adjust the calendar between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. If the calendar
is checked and adjusted between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., the date may not change
properly. In such case, first change the time to any time outside this period, and then
set the date. After that, move the hands back to the correct time.
● If the crown is pulled out to the second click while the numeral in the calendar frame
is advancing or moving back, the second hand may be misaligned from the 12 o’clock
position (initial position).
● The button and crown operation cannot be made while the numeral in the calendar
frame is advancing or moving back. Press the button or turn the crown after the
numeral stops.
● If the watch is left untouched for more than 2 or 3 minutes while checking or adjusting
the calendar, the watch will resume normal movement. In such a case, start again
from the beginning of the procedures in “HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE
CALENDAR.”
● Do not leave the crown at the first or second click when you use the watch, as this will
shorten the battery life.
HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE CALENDAR
3. If the calendar indication is not correct after setting the time and date, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
If the calendar indication is still not correct even though AM/PM is correctly set, the initial position of the
calendar may not be set correctly. In such a case, adjust the initial position of the calendar following the
procedures in "HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE CALENDAR."
