Date adjustment at the end of the month
It is necessary to adjust the date after February (which has 28 days, 29 days in a leap year) and
a 30 day month.
Two full rotations of the hour hand will change the date for one day.
The date advances one day by turning the hour hand two full rotations clockwise (for 24 hours).

Each time the hour hand makes two full rotations by turning the crown, the date is adjusted
one day.
While turning the crown, the moment the date changes is midnight.
When setting the hour hand, be sure that a.m./p.m. is set correctly.
Turning the crown counterclockwise (6 o’clock
direction):
Each time the hour hand makes two full
rotations, the date is advanced one day.
* 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.
* Turn the crown slowly.
* When setting the hour hand, the other hands
may move slightly. However, this is not a
malfunction.
Turning the crown clockwise (12 o’clock
direction):
Each time the hour hand makes two full
rotations, the date is set back one day.

Upon completion of setting, make sure that the time indicated is correct, and then push the
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.
How to use the 24-hour hand
This watch has two different types of 24-hour hand usage.
<Type 1>
: 24-hour hand as an
a.m./p.m. indicator
Simply using the 24-hour hand to show the 24-
hour time as an a.m./p.m. indicator. (This is
the standard usage type for the 24-hour
hand.)
Both the hour hand and the 24-hour hand are
indicating the Japan time 10:00 a.m.
<Type 2>

different time zone area with at least one hour
of time difference from where you are.
