SETTING DATE AND DAY/DATE MODELS
Step 1: When the second hand reaches the 60th second mark, pull the crown all the way to the “OUT” position (you will hear two tiny “click”sounds). All hands will stop.
Step 2: With the crown still in the “OUT” position, move hands forward (clockwise) until you see the date (for date only) or both day and datechange. This establishes midnight.
Step 3: For AM time, continue to move the hands forward until the minute hand is approximately 5 minutes ahead of the desired minute marker; then, gently turn back to the same minute marker.For PM time, follow the same procedure, but first advance the hands past 12 o’clock.
Note: The date will advance automatically at midnight, provided that AM and PM have been established (steps 2 and 3). The watch calendar is programmed for a 31-day cycle. Therefore, on the first day of any month following a month with less than 31 days, the date must be advanced manually (see Step 5).
Step 4: When the time standard by which you are setting your watch reaches the 60th second, push the crown all the way to the “IN” position without turning. All hands will start instantly.
Step 5: Pull the crown to the “INTERMEDIATE” position (one “click”). Your watch will continue to tell time. Slowly turn
crown one way until correct date appears. Then, for day/date models, slowly turn crown the other way until correct day appears.
Note: The day is printed in two successive positions on the day indicator: in English and in Spanish on U.S. models; in English and in French, depending on the models. It is possible to make use of either position. The display will utomatically remain in the language chosen. In some models, the calendar cannot be changed manually between 9:00pm and 6:00am. However, the mechanism will not be damaged if the crown is turned accidentally during this period of time.
Step 6: Push the crown to the “IN” position. Your watch is now operating normally.
