How to set the date
• This watch is designed so that the date changes one day by turning the hour hand two
full rotations in the same way as in "the time difference adjustment function."
• The date advances one day by turning the hour hand two full rotations clockwise,
while the date is set back one day by turning the hour hand two full rotations
counterclockwise.
• After setting the time, it is necessary to set the date. Manual date adjustment is required
on the first day after a month that has less than 31 days.
1. Pull out the crown to the first click.
2. Each time the hour hand makes two full rotations by turning the crown, the date is
adjusted one day.
* The date can be adjusted either by advancing it or by setting it back. Choose
whichever requires fewer rotations.
* Turn the crown gently.
* To adjust the date without changing the time, turn the hour hand in two full rota-
tion increments.
Clockwise: the hour hand turns counterclockwise. The date is
set back one day when the hour hand makes two full
rotations counterclockwise.
Counterclockwise: the hour hand turns clockwise. The date ad-
vances one day when the hour hand makes two full
rotations clockwise.

3. After completing the date setting, check the position of the hour hand once again and
push the crown back in.
* When adjusting the hour hand, the other hands may move slightly. However, this
is not a malfunction.

How to adjust the time difference
• While staying in a place in a different time zone area from where you live, you can
conveniently set the watch to indicate the local time in the place where you are staying
without stopping the watch.
• The time difference adjustment function is interrelated with the date display. If the time
difference is correctly adjusted, the watch displays the correct date of the place where
you are staying.
1. Pull out the crown to the first click.
2. Turn the crown to set the hour hand to indicate the time of the place where you are
staying. The hour hand is independently set to the current hour.
Clockwise: Setting the time back (The hour hand turns
counterclockwise.)
Counterclockwise: Advancing the time (The hour hand turns
clockwise.)
First click position
* Turn the crown slowly, checking that the hour hand moves in one-hour increments.
