crown back in. The date setting is now completed.
(If the watch is equipped with the screw down crown, relock the crown.)
* The date is designed to work in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand, therefore,
incorrect setting of a.m./p.m. will cause the date to change at noon.
* The crown can be turned in either direction to set the date, however, it is recommended
to turn the crown in the direction which enables you to set the date with a smaller
adjustment.
* If the time you want to set is between 7:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., first return the time to 6:00
p.m., and then turn the crown counterclockwise (6 o’clock direction) so the hands advance
in the clockwise direction to set the time.
* Turn the crown slowly, checking that the hour hand moves in one-hour increments.
* When setting the hour hand, the other hands may move slightly. However, this is not a
malfunction.
Time difference adjustment function
For example, while traveling abroad and staying in a place with a different time from where you
live, you can conveniently set the watch to indicate the local time in the different time zone area
without stopping the watch.
The date works in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand. If the time difference is
correctly adjusted, the watch displays the correct date of the place where you are staying.
