NOTES ON USING THE WATCH
HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN
(for models with screw lock type crown)
●To unscrew the crown:
Turn the crown counterclockwise. (Then, pull it out for setting the time or checking the calendar)
●To screw in the crown:
With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it.
TIME, DATE AND DAY SETTING
●When setting the date and day, turn the crown counterclockwise to advance the date and day and
clockwise to move them back. The date and day change one day by turning the hour hand two full
circles.
TIME/DATE SETTING
●The date changes between 11:45 p.m. and 0:30 a.m. while the watch is in operation and between 9:00
p.m. and 3:00 a.m. when it is changed manually by turning the hands. Therefore, note the following.
[AM/PM checking]
When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
* When setting the time by advancing the hands, turn the hour hand past the 3 o’clock marker. If the
date advances, the time is set for the AM period. If it does not change, the time is set for the PM
period.
* When setting the time by turning back the hands, turn the hour hand past the 9 o’clock marker. If
the date moves back, the time is set for the PM period. If it does not change, the time is set for
the AM period.

[Setting the time between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.]
* If the time is adjusted to the time period between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., the date may not change
properly. The watch, however, will indicate the date properly after 3:00 a.m.
* To prevent this from occurring, first turn back the hour hand past 9:00 p.m., checking that the date
moves back to the previous day, and then, advance the hands to the desired time.
●When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it
back to the exact time.
●Note on the leap second
One day normally is said to consist of 86,400 seconds. In fact, it can be longer or shorter
than this because of irregular changes in the rotation cycle of the earth. When the
accumulated fluctuations in the length of a day total plus or minus one second, one
DAY SETTING
●The day changes between 11:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. while the watch is in operation and also when it
is changed manually by turning the hands.
●Do not change the day between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If
it is necessary to set the day during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set
the day and then reset the correct time.
HOW TO CHECK THE CALENDAR
●If the crown is pulled out to the second click instead of the first click and pushed back in to the normal
position, the watch will not show the calendar.
●Do not leave the crown at the first or second click when you use the watch, as this will shorten the
battery life.
