<When Setting the Date by Continuously Turning the Crown>
The date can be set easily by stopping advancing the date rapidly two to three
days before the correct date and then advancing the date one day at a time.
<When the Date has been set to a date that does not exist>
The date automatically changes to the first day of the following month when the
crown is returned to the normal position from the date correction state.
Examples:
•
Normal Years:
March 1 when the date has been set to February 29.30 or 31
October 1 when the date has been set to September 31
•
Leap Years
March 1 when the date has been set to February 30 or 31
October 1 when the date has been set to September 31
Correcting the Time Difference
When button (A) is pressed and the crown is turned continuously, time difference
can be corrected in 1 hour increments. Time difference cannot be corrected
continuously.
The time difference can be corrected for 30 seconds after button (A) has been
pressed or for 30 seconds after time difference correction (after the hands
finish moving)
1. Put the crown in the normal position.
2. When button A is pressed, the second hand performs a demonstration movement
(forward rotation -> backward rotation -> forward rotation).
3. Correct the time difference by turning the crown to the right or left.
1. When the crown is turned to the right, the hour hand moves forward by one
hour (clockwise rotation).
2. When the crown is turned to the left, the hour hand moves backward (counter-
clockwise-rotation) by one hour.
Note 1: If the time difference is corrected in the forward direction, the date
after the hands are finished moving is corrected by +1 day when the hour and
minute hands pass 12:00 AM. Pay attention to AM and PM when correcting the
time difference.
Note 2: When returning the time difference to its original setting, return the
hour hand in the opposite direction in which it was corrected. If the time
difference is corrected in the backward direction, the date after the hands
are finished moving is corrected by –1 day when the hour and minute hands pass
12:00 AM. This takes about two minutes, however, since the date is corrected
in the forward direction.
