5. CORRECTING THE TIME DIFFERENCE
When button (A) is pressed and the crown is turned, time difference can be
corrected in 1-hour units.
The time difference can be corrected for 30 seconds after button A has been
pressed or for 30 seconds after the hands finish moving.
1. Put the crown in the normal position.
2. When button A is pressed, the second hand performs a demonstration movement
(forward rotation -> backward rotation -> forward rotation).
3. Correct the time difference by turning the crown to the right or left.
1. When the crown is turned to the right, the hour hand moves forward by one
hour (clockwise rotation).
2. When the crown is turned to the left, the hour hand moves backward (counter-
clockwise-rotation) by one hour.
•
Turning the crown continuously causes the hour hand to advance rapidly.
Turn the crown to the left or right to stop the hour hand from advancing
rapidly.
Note 1: Pay attention to AM and PM when correcting the time difference
Note 2: When returning the time difference to its original setting, return the
hour hand in the opposite direction in which it was corrected.
Example:
Setting the time difference of London (local time) when the time in Tokyo (home
time) is 10:OO AM:
The time difference between Tokyo and London is -9 hours. Since it is 1:00 AM in
London when it is 10:00 AM in Tokyo, in the case of correcting the time
difference at this time:
1. Press button A.
2. Turn the crown to the left to turn the hands backward (counter-clockwise) by 9
hours.
Note:
If the crown is turned to the right to move the hands clockwise to set the
time to 1:00, the time will be 1:OOPM and the calendar function will not
operate correctly, preventing the date from changing at the proper time.
Case of Correcting Time Difference by -9 Hours
<Proper Correction Procedure> <Improper Correction Procedure>
The time difference cannot be corrected when the second hand is moving at two-
second intervals indicating that the watch is insufficiently charged. Correct the
time difference after charging the watch by exposing it to light so that the
second hand returns to one- second interval movement.
