Adjusting Hand and
Day Indicator
Alignment
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the
hands and/or the day indicator to go out of
alignment. If this happens, adjust hand and
day indicator alignment.
●
The watch performs alignment of the hour
hand, minute hand, second hand, and 24-
hour hand automatically.

maximum left-right movement of the
day of the week hand is 180 degrees in
either direction. The day indicator
moves only slightly.

If 1 is not shown for the day, rotate the
crown until 1 is shown for the day.
●
The day of the week hand moves in
conjunction with crown rotation. Move
the day of the week hand to 12 o’clock.

Push the crown back in.
Note
●
Leaving the crown pulled out for
more than approximately 30 minutes
without performing any operation
will automatically cause the
adjustment operation to become
disabled. If this happens, push the
crown back in to its normal position
and then pull it out again to restart
the procedure from the beginning.
Pushing the crown in to its normal
position part way through the
alignment procedure will cause the
hands to return to their normal
position. Any alignment you
performed up to that point will be
applied.
