Rolex OYSTER DAY-DATE Quick Start Manual

ROLEX OYSTER DAY-DATE, NO QUICKSET

To change the time or date, or to wind the watch by hand, you must first unscrew the crown from

the case, then pull it until the required position is reached. Always perform these operations with the

watch in your hand and not on your wrist. When you are done, make sure the crown is screwed

down to the case again before you wear it.

Hand winding position

Crown fully screwed-down:

Only wear the watch when the crown is fully

screwed down to the case for it to be water and

dustproof. (although we would recommend to

prevent any contact with water. We do not

guarantee that the watch is waterproof.

Unscrew the winding crown

(downwards) till it is disengaged from

the screw thread:

For manually wound watches this position is

used to wind the watch by hand before you

wear it. (Don't wind it while on the wrist!) To

ensure long power reserve (one full day) make

sure you wind the crown upwards fully till the

crown can't go any further. This position can

also be used for automatic watches to give it a

boost of extra power, for example when the

watch hasn't been worn for some time.
