incorrect setting of AM/PM will cause the date to change at noon.

※ The crown can be turned in either direction to adjust 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, checking that the hour hand moves in one-hour increments.
※ When adjusting the hour hand, the other hands may move slightly. However, this is not a mal-

function.

●How to use the 24-hour hand

This watch has two different types of 24-hour hand usage.

<Type 1>

hand to indicate a time different from the time that the hour and

■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 hour hand indicates the time of the place where you currently are, while the 24-hour hand in-

dicates the time of the place of origin.

The calendar 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.

※ The crown can be turned in either direction to adjust 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, checking that the hour hand moves in one-hour increments.
※ While turning the crown, the moment the date changes is midnight.
※ When adjusting the hour hand, the other hands may move slightly. However, this is not a malfunction.
