Turn the crown to the right to set the date. * The crown turns freely and the date does not change if the crown is turned to the left. * If the date is set while the time on the watch is between the hours of about 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM, the date may not change on the following day.
5. Using the Chronograph The chronograph function of this watch is able to measure and display elapsed time up to 59 minutes 59 seconds in 1 second units. After the chronograph displays elapsed time for 59 minutes 59 seconds, it resumes timing from 0 seconds.

[Note] The chronograph continues to keep time with the chronograph hands until it is stopped even after 60 minutes have elapsed. Once timing is finished, promptly press button (A) to stop the chronograph, and then press button (B) to reset it to 0 seconds. If timing is allowed to continue, the battery will continue to wear down and eventually be depleted causing the watch to stop before the end of the indicated battery life.
6. Zero Positioning of Chronograph Hands (After Replacing the Battery) When resetting the chronograph after replacing the battery, if the chronograph second hand does not return to the 0 seconds position or if the chronograph second hand has shifted out of position due to a strong impact, perform zero positioning of the chronograph hands according to the procedure described below.
