9. Hand 0-Position Check and Correction

Before using this watch, check that the functions of
the watch operate properly by performing the
following procedure.
0-Position: This refers to the base position of each
hand that enables the watch to function properly.

[0-Position Check]

1. Turn the crown to switch the watch to the
chronograph [CHR] mode.
2. Pull the crown out to position 1 to check the 0-
position (function hand and date wheel correction
mode). Confirm that the 24-hour hand, hour hand,
minute hand, second hand and function hand
rapidly advance to the 0 position, and the date
wheel displays "1".

0 positions of each Hand (Base Positions):

24-hour hand: 24:00
Hour hand, minute hand: 00:00
Second hand: 00 seconds
Function hand: 0 position
(12:00 position)

Perform the "0-Position
correction" when the hands and

[0-Position Correction]
0-Position Correction of Function Hand and
Date Wheel:
1. Pull the crown out to Position 1 in the
chronograph [CHR] mode to correct the function
hand and date wheel.
2. Click (turn) the crown to the left to align the date
wheel.
(1) Clicking the crown once causes the function
hand to make four revolutions and the date to
be corrected by one day.
(2) Turning the crown rapidly (clicking continuously
two or more times) causes the function hand
to advance continuously. When stopping the
function hand, click the crown once to the
right or left. When the function hand is not
stopped manually, it stops automatically after
advancing 31 days.
The 12:00 position immediately after the date
changes to the "1st" is the 0-position of the
function hand. After correcting the date wheel to
the "31st" by turning the crown, press button (A)
to finely correct the function hand so that the
function hand is aligned at the 0 position after the
date wheel changes to the "1st".

Hand, Minute Hand and Second Hand:
1. Pull the crown out to Position 2 in the
chronograph [CHR] mode to correct each hand.

be corrected by one second at a time each time it
is pressed. Continuously pressing button (A)
causes the second hand to advance rapidly.

hand, hour hand and minute hand.

the hour and minute hands to move clockwise.
(2) Clicking the crown once to the left causes the
hour and minute hands to move counter-
clockwise.
• Turning the crown rapidly (clicking continuously
two or more times) causes the hands to advance
rapidly. When stopping the hands, click the
crown once to the right or left. When the hands
are not stopped manually, they stop automatically
after being corrected by 12 hours.

[Setting the Time]

the 0 seconds position, reset the base
position in the "0-Position Correction Mode".

amount after the second hand is rapidly
advanced to the 0 seconds position.
