Seiko Cal. 9S85 Operating Instructions Manual page 9

CAUTION
○ Do not adjust the date between 10 o'clock p.m. and 1 o'clock a.m. If the
date is adjusted during this period of time, the date may not change when
the next day comes, or this may cause damage.
○ Due to its wheel train mechanism, for setting the time of the mechanical
watch correctly, the hands should be set back once slightly and then set
forward to the correct time.
How to set the time and date
This watch is equipped with the date display function. The date changes once
every 24 hours at around 12 o'clock a.m. Therefore, if the a.m./p.m. is
incorrectly set, the date will change around 12 o'clock p.m.
① Pull out the crown to the first click. (If the watch is equipped with the screw
lock type crown, unscrew the crown before pulling it out.)
② The date can be adjusted by turning the crown clockwise (12 o'clock
direction). First turn the crown clockwise until the previous day's date from
the desired date appears.
(Ex.) If you want to set the date to ''6,''
set the date to ''5'' by turning the
crown clockwise.
③ Pull out the crown to the second click when the second hand is at the 12
o'clock position. (The second hand stops.) Turn the crown clockwise until
the desired date appears. When the date changes, the time is a.m. Further
turn the crown to set the current time.
④ Push the crown back into
the normal position in
accordance with a time
signal. The watch starts
operating.
CAUTION
For models with a screw lock type crown, remember to screw the crown in.
