9. Hand 0-Position Check and Correction
Before using this watch, check that the functions of
the watch operate properly by performing the
following procedure.

[0-Position Check]
1. Turn the crown to switch the watch to the

chronograph [CHR] mode.

2. Pull the crown out to position 1 to check the 0-

position (function hand and date wheel correction
mode). Confirm that the 24-hour hand, hour hand,
minute hand, second hand and function hand
rapidly advance to the 0 position, and the date
wheel displays “1”.

0 positions of each Hand (Base Positions):
24-hour hand: 24:00
Hour hand, minute hand: 00:00
Second hand: 00 seconds
Function hand: 0 position 

(12:00 position)

Date wheel: 1st
Perform the “0-Position
correction” when the hands and
date wheel are not at the positions indicated above.

[0-Position Correction]
0-Position Correction of Function Hand and 
Date Wheel:
1. Pull the crown out to Position 1 in the

chronograph [CHR] mode to correct the function
hand and date wheel.

2. Click (turn) the crown to the left to align the date

wheel.
(1) Clicking the crown once causes the function

hand to make four revolutions and the date to
be corrected by one day.

(2) Turning the crown rapidly (clicking continuously

two or more times) causes the function hand
to advance continuously. When stopping the
function hand, click the crown once to the
right or left. When the function hand is not
stopped manually, it stops automatically after
advancing 31 days.

The 12:00 position immediately after the date
changes to the “1st” is the 0-position of the
function hand. After correcting the date wheel to
the “31st” by turning the crown, press button (A)
to finely correct the function hand so that the
function hand is aligned at the 0 position after the
date wheel changes to the “1st”.

0-Position Correction of 24 Hour Hand, Hour
Hand, Minute Hand and Second Hand:
1. Pull the crown out to Position 2 in the

chronograph [CHR] mode to correct each hand.

2. Pressing button (A) causes the second hand to

be corrected by one second at a time each time it
is pressed. Continuously pressing button (A)
causes the second hand to advance rapidly.

3. Clicking the crown allows correction of the 24 hour

hand, hour hand and minute hand.
(1) Clicking the crown once to the right causes

the hour and minute hands to move clockwise.

(2) Clicking the crown once to the left causes the

hour and minute hands to move counter-
clockwise.

• Turning the crown rapidly (clicking continuously

two or more times) causes the hands to advance
rapidly. When stopping the hands, click the
crown once to the right or left. When the hands
are not stopped manually, they stop automatically
after being corrected by 12 hours.

10. Setting the Time and Date
[Setting the Time]
1. Turn the crown and align the mode hand at the

time/calendar [TME] mode.

2. When the crown is pulled out to Position 2 (time

setting position), the second hand rapidly
advances to the 0 position and stops.
Note: When the second hand does not stop at

the 0 seconds position, reset the base
position in the “0-Position Correction Mode”.

Note: If the crown is pulled out to Position 2

when the date is changing, the date wheel
and function hand stop at that time, and
are then advanced by the remaining
amount after the second hand is rapidly
advanced to the 0 seconds position.

3. Click (turn) the crown to set the time.

(1) Clicking the crown once to the right causes

the 24-hour hand, hour hand and minute hand
to move in the clockwise direction.

(2) Clicking the crown once to the left causes the

24-hour hand, hour hand and minute hand to
move in a counter-clockwise direction.

• Turning the crown rapidly (clicking continuously

two or more times) causes the hands to advance
rapidly. When stopping the hands, click the
crown once to the left or right. When the hands
are not stopped manually, they stop
automatically after being corrected by 12 hours.

0-Position: This refers to the base position of each
hand that enables the watch to function properly.
