Setting the Date
This watch is provided with a perpetual calendar function. Once it is set,
the year, month and date change automatically, including leap years.
<How to Read Month and Year
1. When the crown is pulled out to the first click (calendar correction
position), the second hand moves to the year and month position stored in
memory and then stops
2. Turn the crown and set the date
a. Turn the crown to the right to set the second hand to the position
corresponding to the year (number of years elapsed since the most
recent leap year) and month. Turning the crown continuously causes the
second hand to advance rapidly.
Examples
! In the case of December in a leap year: Align the second hand at '0'
seconds.
! In the case of April in a year that is three years after the most
recent leap year: Align the second had as 23 seconds (between 4:00
and 5:00)
B. The date is advanced by one day if the crown is turned to the left.
Turning the crown continuously causes the date to be advanced
continuously. Turn the crown to either the left or right to stop the
date from rapidly advancing.
3. Always make sure to return the crown to the normal position next to the case
after setting the date. The second hand advances to the current second and
the hands begin to move normally.
